How to adjust the screen on time on iPhone
If you’re looking for the screen time-out option on an iPhone, you might have a hard time finding it — especially if you’re switching over from Android. On Android, you’ll see an option that says Turn off screen after or Sleep. On Apple, this goes by a different name: Auto-Lock.
- On your iPhone, go to Settings.

- Tap Auto-Lock.
