Configure Auto-Lock

- [Instructor] In this chapter,…we're going to look at some iOS 11 features…designed to protect both you and your device.…And the first feature I want to look at is Auto-Lock.…The Auto-Lock feature refers to the iPhone and iPad's…default behavior of turning off the screen…after a minute or so of inactivity.…This can guard against you accidentally tapping an icon…or dialing a number from the iPhone…while it's in your pocket.…It also acts as a battery conservation feature,…and if you've accidentally left your phone on…and unattended on a desk,…by having Auto-Lock on,…it will automatically lock the screen…and as long as it's password-protected,…no one will be able to get into your device.…

Let's go to settings, down to display and brightness,…and here we'll find Auto-Lock.…Here you can choose to allow anywhere…from 30 seconds to five minutes of inactivity…before your device locks the screen,…making it so you have to press the home button…to unlock the phone again.…If you're on an iPad,…you can choose a two-, five-, 10-, or 15-minute interval.…
