iOS13 screen timeout doesn't work

Since upgrading my XS, it seems that the screen timeout/lock doesn't work intermittently. The screen remains always on and doesn't time out. I then have to reboot the phone and it starts working again. It seems like the issue happens when it's plugged in to be charged and the issue remains even after unplugging.


Has anyone seen this? Is there any other solution, other than rebooting?


Thanks.

Hey there Steffenu,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. I understand your iPhone isn’t going to sleep as expected. I’ll be happy to help with this.


Try adjusting the sleep time and see if this has any impact on the issue. You can adjust this in Settings > Display & Brightness > Auto-Lock.


If that doesn’t help, back up your iPhone and reinstall the latest update using the steps from these links:

If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Let us know if this helps.
