Need a longer auto lock time on iOS Devices

I use my iPhone as the remote for Apple TV at home. I always use Never because 1-5 minute choices do not satisfy. Then, I often forget to set it back shorter and the battery runs down overnight. One more choice of 4 hours would help me greatly. Is there some way I can add a new time or substitute it for another?

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 17

There is no way for you to change that setting. However, you can let Apple know what you'd like to see here:


Product Feedback - Apple


Do you have Control Center set up to be accessible even when the screen is locked? If so, you should be able to access the remote without unlocking the phone. Settings>FaceID & Password>Allow Access When Locked>Control Center.
