Can I adjust Auto-Lock to turn off with a Focus Mode?

I have loved the focus modes since they've come out. However, I was wondering if there is a way to set Auto-Lock off by turning on a Focus Mode?


I use a Pomodoro Focus app when I turn on my focus mode and I like to see the timer consistently on my iPhone but I haven't found a way to do that without having to go to

Settings<Display & Brightness<Auto-Lock. Just want for Auto-Lock to turn off automatically when I go into a Focus Mode.

iPhone 12, iOS 15

Hello cbarre96,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. It looks like you're trying to find a way to turn off Auto-Lock when you turn on Focus automatically, and we'd be happy to provide some guidance.


To get started, please check out this link for more information about this feature:


Use Focus on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


As of now, the available options are "Dim Lock Screen", and "Show on Lock Screen(for notifications)".


With that being said, you may try to create a shortcut to perform these actions. Check this out:


Create a custom shortcut on iPhone or iPad

Run shortcuts with Siri, the Shortcuts app, or Siri Suggestions


The best place to leave a suggestion like this is on the official feedback website. Here's the link:
