How to Change the Auto-Lock Time on an iPhone
Auto-Lock is a nice addition to the iOS as it allows you to set a time to auto-lock your device. This is certainly an useful feature as it prevents your kids from playing around with your device and they don’t accidentally delete any files stored on the device. Time period to lock the device can be modified and here’s how you can do that:
I. Before You Begin:
1. This should work on other iOS devices as well, including the iPad and iPod Touch.
II. Changing the Auto-Lock Time on an iPhone:
1. Tap the Settings icon on your screen.
2. Tap on General followed by Auto-Lock.
3. Now tap the auto-lock time period, 2 Minutes, for example.
4. And you’re done!
Great! Now your iPhone will automatically be locked after it’s been idle for the time period you chose above!
Since I upgraded to ios7, my Auto-Lock keeps reverting to locked. I have it set to never. Any ideas on why it won’t stay unlocked? One benefit of keeping it unlocked is during an emergency, first responders can check your phone. A co-workers husband was hit by a car while on his bicycle. he had his iphone and ambulance checked for ICE (In case of emergency) in his phone, and called his wife immediately.
