Part 1. What Is Auto Lock on iPhone?

Auto Lock is a very useful feature on iPhones. If you are not using your phone, the phone will automatically lock the screen. Then you need to re-enter the passcode or use Touch ID or Face ID to unlock it for further use. The principle of this function is to determine whether the lock screen is needed by detecting your operation and the status of the phone. It is divided into seven time intervals, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 4 minutes, 5 minutes, and never. You can choose any of them. The role and significance of the Auto Lock is to protect your privacy and security. If the phone is left unlocked for a long time, others may easily access your personal information and data, causing unnecessary privacy leakage. It can effectively avoid this situation and protect your interests. Moreover, it can help you prevent unnecessary battery consumption caused by the screen being on for a long time.
