Locking Iphone 12 Pro ?

I just received my new iphone 12 pro yesterday and cannot figure out why the screen doesn't lock when I put it down, and screen goes dark.

My previous phone was the 6 plus, and I always had to unlock it with the finger print or password between usages.


In settings - displays - Auto Lock, I do have it set to 30 seconds.

Also in settings - Require Password Immediately is selected.


Not sure what else to do.

One just has to touch the screen and swipe up to access phone.

Hi there jasonspixnyc,


We understand you're experiencing an issue with your iPhone 12 Pro unlocking unexpectedly, and we'd like to see if we can assist.


Do you have Face ID set up on your device? If so, this would explain why you're not prompted for the passcode when waking the device, and it unlocking. Learn more here: Use Face ID on your iPhone or iPad Pro


Cheers!
