Auto-lock isn't working when a game is running on my iPhone 14

My auto-lock isn't working when a game is running on my iPhone 14, I've set it up at 30 secondes but even if I'm in game and don't touch my phone, the auto-lock doesn't activate. Is there a solution ?

Hi there,

auto lock feature doesn’t work in most of games because they are designed in a way to keep the iPhone awake while the app is open. If your auto lock is working for other applications and issue persists during gameplay only, then it should not be an issue. Even though in most of video streaming apps, auto lock doesn’t turn on, it’s to ensure user experience.
