When you hold the screen too close to your face for an extended period, Screen Distance covers the screen with an alert, preventing you from continuing. When you move iPhone more than 12 inches away, you can tap Continue to resume using it.
Apple Support have an article online that explains how to turn Screen Distance on:
Help protect your vision health with Screen Distance on iPhone - Apple Support
Eg: says:
"Screen Distance can remind younger users to engage in healthy viewing habits that can lower their risk of myopia. It gives adult users the opportunity to reduce digital eyestrain".
You can try turning it off in the same way: ie:
- Go to Settings
> Screen Time. - Tap Screen Distance, then turn off Screen Distance.
