Screen on when charging, off when not
Hi.
Is there an iPhone setting that allows the screen to lock/go blank when not charging; but to stay on/illuminated when charging or connected to a power source?
iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 14

No, it is not possible to do automatically.
You can manually choose not to turn off the screen by going to:
Settings -> Display & Brightness -> Auto Lock. Select Never.
You can also create a Shortcut that you can have in the widget menu, or directly on your home screen.
How to create an Auto-Lock shortcut:
Go to the Shortcut App, press "+" in the upper right corner, select "Add action" From here, search for the "URL" action and then select it. In the URL action, tap the text box and paste in this:
prefs:root=DISPLAY&path=AUTOLOCK
Then, from the actions list, search for and add the “Open URLs” action. Your shortcut is now ready.
Tap next and give it a name and an icon. Now you can choose to put the shortcut on your Home Screen. From the shortcuts details page, tap the three-dot menu button on your new shortcut in the top-right corner and select Add to Home Screen.
