Automatically Lock iPhone When Put Down
Worried about leaving your iPhone unlocked when you set it down? With iOS 18 , you can now make your device lock automatically when it’s not in use — adding an extra layer of protection without any effort. This feature uses Face ID, motion detection, and proximity sensors to secure your phone the moment you walk away or place it on a surface. Step 1: Open Settings Go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode and enter your passcode. Make sure Face ID is already enabled and working for unlocking your iPhone. Step 2: Enable Attention & Lock Detection Scroll down to find “Attention & Lock Detection” under the Face ID options. Toggle it ON. This feature ensures that your iPhone stays unlocked only when you’re actively looking at the screen. Step 3: Adjust Auto-Lock Timing Navigate to Settings > Display & Brightness > Auto-Lock and select a short time interval, such as 30 seconds or 1 minute. This determines how quickly your screen locks when idle....
