Hello,


This feature disables the phone after entering the passcode too many times. This feature can not be disabled but there are a few ways to fix this.


  • You can try disabling the password completely, this would decrease the security of the device but It would certainly stop the iPhone from locking.


  • Another way which I recommend more would be disabling the Tap to Wake feature, this will prevent the device from turning on in the pocket and locking up. To do this head to Settings > Accessibility > Touch, then turn off Tap to Wake.


Hope this helps!
