iPhone 12: How to Change Auto Lock Time (Screen Timeout) 30 seconds to Never

I show you how to change the auto lock time (screen timeout) on the iPhone 12, 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max and 12 Mini. After there is no activity for the allotted time then the iPhone 12 will dim, sleep (turn black) then lock. Hope this helps.

Mine doesn’t work to click on auto lock at all so can’t change anything. Is there another way ?

[CarolineWolterHall]

My screen lock won’t click on.
Every time someone says it’s real simple, it never, ever is. 😡

Thanks to your post, I was able to get my phone back as 30 seconds was definately NOT enough time for me!!! Thank you!!! I am so grateful!!!

I have a iPhone12 mini. I followed your steps on the auto lock delay time. It still doesn't do it. Is there another setting I need change?

[detailsquad]

Any possibility you could answer ANY of the questions people have?

Mine is locked at 30 seconds and I can’t unlock or change the time. Help 😢

When I go to auto lock in my settings to change the time it is unselectable. Do you know why this is?

Mine says 30 seconds or 1 minute. No other option. How do I change that?

This iPhone 12 I'm working with only has three options: 30 Seconds, 1 Minute, 2 Minute

Guess my wife’s and my iphones are defective. They are both 11’s. Screen locks after 15 seconds, it’s set to 30 seconds though. Set it to one minute and it locks in 15 seconds. Two minutes and locks at 15 seconds. Three minutes though and it locks at 50 seconds.

Perfect ! Thank you ! 1 minute is not enough time for me. Thanks to you, I was able to change it to my desired time of 5 minutes. Kudos to you !

Never is not an option on my phone not sure why I do not see that. Trying to transfer in from my VZW cloud and it keeps pausing.
