What is how to lock screen on iphone?

Here's how to lock the screen on your iPhone:

  • Using the Side Button (or Top Button): The most common method is to press the side button (on iPhones with Face ID) or the top button (on iPhones with Touch ID on the top). A quick press will immediately lock the screen.

  • Auto-Lock: You can set your iPhone to automatically lock after a period of inactivity. To adjust this:

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Tap Display & Brightness.
    3. Tap Auto-Lock.
    4. Choose a time interval (e.g., 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, etc.). Choosing "Never" is not recommended for security reasons.
  • Raise to Wake (and Lock): If you have "Raise to Wake" enabled (found in Display & Brightness settings), lifting your iPhone will wake the screen. If you don't interact with the screen, it will automatically lock after the Auto-Lock period.

  • Accessibility Shortcut (AssistiveTouch): If you use AssistiveTouch (an accessibility feature), you can add a "Lock Screen" function to the AssistiveTouch menu for easy access.

Regardless of the method you use, locking the screen helps protect your privacy and prevent accidental touches.
