The option to disable auto-lock seems to have disappeared. Is it hidden somewhere or is there a way to go back to a previous IOS feature? I really need it as I use my phone as a webcam.
iPhone 7, iOS 13
I found it was indeed an Organizational Exchange account that was causing the issue. I will try to find a solution with that organization. I wish iOS wasn't so secretive about changes applied to your device, would have saved so much time.
Thanks for your reply, Axel! I can't find any installed profiles installed from settings (general > device management (doesn't exist)). I didn't stop there, though. When I created a local backup of iPhone to Mac and found the folder, in which the mdm profiles are, there were quite a few files in there. I tried deleting them and restoring to the modified backup, but was unsuccessful. I'l try again at a later time. You have any other suggestions?
Looks like you nailed it. What you mentioned above will do it.

It is in the same please in Settings and under Display & Brightness - Auto-Lock. If you do not have the NEVER option then is it possible that you may have a profile installed such as from work or school which requires your iPhone to lock after a certain amount of time has elapsed?
