how to set screen timeout as 'never' while this option is not on my setting

LornaLu — Mon, 04 Dec 2023 14:24:55 GMT

Hi, I'd like to set my phone screen lock as 'never' as I need it to on for 30 mins on zoom while used in exam. I found the 'screen timeout' setting, but the longest period is 10 minutes. my phone is Samsung S23 Ultra

@LornaLu

The screen will not lock whilst the phone is in use, so will remain on whilst on a call or when using apps of anytype.

@LornaLu On my Android phone in Settings>Display>Screen Timeout I have a button I can switch to Attentive Display which prevents the screen from switching off. Probably different on iPhones, but I wouldn't know.

@LornaLu There's an app in the Play Store called Caffeine that should help you.
