How To Keep Screen On Longer For Apple iPhone X

Want to learn how to keep the screen on longer for Apple iPhone X displays? There’s a trick you can use explained in this guide that can extend your screen on-time.

It can be frustrating to be reading something on your iPhone X screen to only have it turn off and go into standby mode moments after reading it. By default, your display is set to switch off after a few seconds of inactivity to save battery.

The trouble is, the iPhone doesn’t account for time you may be looking at your screen but not touching it, for example whilst you’re reading an article, or whilst you’re looking away at your computer screen for a short period of time. If you’d like to learn how to get around this frustrating problem, you’ll need to follow the steps outlined below. Please note that keeping your iPhone screen on for longer will drain your battery faster.

How to Change the iPhone X Screen Timeout Time

It’s quite easy to change the length of time it takes for your iPhone screen to time out. All you need to do is open the Settings app on your phone and then edit an option within the settings menu. Once in the Settings app, tap the ‘General option. After that, look for ‘Auto-Lock’ and select it to choose the screen timeout time. You can choose anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes of inactivity time. Once you’ve changed your inactivity time on your iPhone X screen, it will stay on for longer without you needing to touch it to keep it on.

Once again, please be aware that changing your timeout time will make an impact on how long your battery life lasts. More screen time means your battery life won’t last as long. If your battery life isn’t lasting as long as you’d like, adjust it to something smaller. You can also manually switch off the display when you aren’t using your iPhone X.
