Disable Security Lockout Feature

I have this "friend" who steals my phone. He is much faster and stronger than me so I have no chance at getting it back unless he gives in. When he has it, he tries to go through it if unlocked, and disable it if locked. I would like to know if there is a way to disable the lockout feature so that he can't lock my phone for an hour.

iPhone 6s, iOS 15

How to disable Security Lockout? Recently my phone often get itself into lockout where I can’t use my phone for hours. i have it happen where I had some screen issue where the screen would occasionally register click I didn’t make. I also had this problem just carrying my pho e in my pocket. I need a passcode to discourage my kids from using my phone without permissions. Having my phone locked out randomly is a huge security problem for me and my family as it means I can’t reliably communicate with them. It could also deny me entry to some event when my ticket is on my phone. It may prevent me from using map and find my friend feature that I may rely on to find my way or find family member I am trying to pick up. When I bought my phone this “feature” didn’t exist so forcing it on me without a way to disable it is a bait and switch. how do I prevent my phone from going into lockout mode?

Don't hand over your iPhone to anyone without Enabling Guided Access

Contact the police.

Friends don't assault you, take your possessions and disable your electronic devices.

That type of behavior is called bullying.

Avoid this person. If they continue to harass you, assault you and steal your belongs, contact the police.

I might’ve made it sound like a bigger issue than intended, so I apologize. I figured out how to solve the issue. Thanks!
