How Do I Make My iPhone Screen Stay On?

When you get a new iPhone, one of its defaults settings includes an Auto-Lock for the screen. The iPhone lock screen helps secure your phone and any personal information. This default setting kicks in after 30 seconds of inactivity, turning off your phone’s screen and locking it. Auto-Lock can be highly frustrating if you need your screen to stay on so you can look at directions on Google Maps or have your hands dirty while following a recipe. To change your iPhone’s default Auto-Lock settings, you can follow these steps to prevent your screen from falling asleep.
