Have you tried:

Settings -> Display & Brightness -> AutoLock.

The duration to which you set it is a personal decision based on your usage and your environment.

(All else being equal, a longer delay period increases your vulnerability to “Unauthorized Access.”)

However as a general rule, don’t set it to “Never”
