I can't remember how to keep the iPhone showing the screen without going to lock screen or the display turning off and going black.

How to turn off iPhone screen without power button Is there a way I can turn off my phone screen without the power button? I don’t mean restarting, I mean literally just turning the display off because my phone case makes it hard to press the button. Sorry I know it’s not a big deal, I’m just curious.

How do I turn off an iPhone XR without using the screen? I need to turn off an iPhone XR that has a broken, unusable screen. And it needs to stay off. I've scoured the internet and only found instructions for turning off the phone using the slider on the screen, or for using just the buttons to restart the phone. But I can't use the screen at all and I need the phone to stay off. Please advise.
