You can create a Shortcut that you can save on your Home Screen. The shortcut takes you directly to Auto-Lock, where you can choose between Never, or a desired time.


1. Open the Shortcuts App

2. Tap "+" in the upper right corner.

3. Tap "Add Action" and search for "URL"

4. Enter in URL: prefs:root=DISPLAY&path=AUTOLOCK

5. Tap and add "Open URLs"

6. At the top where it says URL, tap and give name, color and icon and select "Add to Home Screen"
