Set up iPhone and iPad auto lock
We all know about the function of the automatic lock on the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch A function that automatically locks your device without having to do anything. A good option for all those clueless people who do not block their device, causing high battery consumption.
When we leave our bitten apple device unlocked, it automatically locks itself. This happens after a few seconds or minutes, it all depends on the configuration.This option is activated by default to reduce battery consumption when we are not using our device.
A good option to extend the autonomy of the mobile. It is also fully configurable. In this new installment of iOS tutorials we teach you how to reduce or increase the time interval in which we want the screen to lock. We can also deactivate it if we don't want it to turn off (ideal if we are watching a movie or series online on the iPad, since sometimes it crashes).
How to Set Auto Lock on iPhone, iPad and iPod TOUCH:
To start with this configuration, we must go to the settings of the device in which we want to modify the automatic lock.
We enter SETTINGS / Screen and brightness. There we will find the tab with the function we want to modify. This is the one from “Auto lock”.
Auto lock option
Click on this option and we will go to a new menu in which we can modify the time interval in which we want the screen to be blocked or, as we have told you, we can deactivate said option. The less time it takes for the screen to turn off, the less battery consumption will be.
Set the time
We currently have it set to 30 seconds, we think that's more than enough. We advise that the option that comes by default is 1 minute. In this way, we have gained autonomy almost without realizing it.
On iPad, the minimum time we can set is 2 minutes.
You can't modify the iPhone screen auto lock time:
Also, and this is important , in the event that we have activated the «Low consumption mode»,we will automatically be mark the 30 second option and we will not be able to modify it.In this case, this menu will appear in a lighter gray, indicating that it cannot be changed.
In "low consumption mode" we will not be able to access
Therefore, we can see that if we activate the low consumption function, the device already shows 30 seconds, which indicates that this option is the most recommended to reduce battery consumption.
How to Set iPhone to Never Lock Automatically:
This option consumes the most battery power, so it is not recommended to activate it. But it may be that, sometimes, we need to have it active.
To do this, when we access the time menu for the automatic blocking of the iPhone,we must select the "Never" option. This way the device will never crash.
And this is how we can configure the automatic lock on the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
