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

@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.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

@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.

Thank you for both solutions, I downloaded the Caffeine app, and also went through all the steps as showed from Youtube video that you sent. Many thanks for your help! I'm appreciate your help.
