Remove Lock on iphone

My iphone locks every 5 minutes and I keep entering my passcode which then unlocks the screen. How do I delete this passcode so that the iphone does not lock every 5 minutes anymore ?


iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18

You will want to extend your iPhone Auto-Lock duration. Go to Settings > Display and Brightness > Auto-Lock then choose between the durations of time, which are 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes and never. I wouldn’t recommend the “Never” option as if you ever leave your iPhone on and someone else’s gets ahold of it, they will have access to all of your data.
