Ever had your iPhone screen go black at the worst possible moment? You're mid-recipe, mid-revenge-from-prehistoric-frog evolution, mid-everything — and your screen just gives up on life. You tap it like it owes you money, but nope, it stays dark. Let's fix that, shall we?
The Classic Move: Auto-Lock Settings
The secret weapon lives in Settings > Display & Brightness > Auto-Lock. Right here, you can tell your iPhone how long it should stay awake before taking a nap. Choose Never, and your screen will stay on until the battery level screams for mercy.
If you set it to 30 seconds, congratulations — you've trained your phone to be the most casual coworker ever. That's less time than it takes to read this sentence out loud. Your screen deserves a little more commitment than that.

How to prevent your iPhone screen from turning off
Enabled AssistiveTouch can trick your phone into thinking you're constantly interacting with it. It's basically your phone's security guard, standing at attention until you tell it to stand down.

Your screen finally gets to enjoy the party without getting kicked out at midnight. Now go forth, enjoy every glowing pixel, and never let that screen go dark unwillingly again.
