Auto-lock

I want my iPhone 11 to stay on longer. When I go into settings, display & brightness, auto-lock I only get 2 options: 30 seconds and 1 minute. I’d like the phone to stay on longer. How do I do that?

It is the work email that is causing this, most likely it is an Exchange Account which means your IT people can set restrictions on your iPhone. Talk to them about a longer lock time.

If you have a corporate email account set up on the device, the administrators can control certain options, including the idle time before it locks.

You don't have any work email on your iPhone? Did you buy this phone new from Apple or an Authorized Reseller?
