The auto-lock feature on the iPhone and iPad lets you control how long you want the screen to stay on when the device isn't being used. The shorter the amount of time you set it for, the faster the screen will go off due to inactivity. A shorter auto-lock time will make your iPhone or iPad prompt for a passcode faster, which results in better security. Not to mention battery life can improve since the screen isn't on as often. Follow along and we'll show you how to edit your auto-lock settings.

How to change how quickly your iPhone or iPad auto locks

  1. Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Tap on General.
  3. Now choose the Auto-Lock option.
  4. Tap on the option you'd like for your iPhone or iPad.
