  1. Is this your corporate/organisation/enterprise/School Management iPhone? Then please contact the system administrator of your corporate//organisation/enterprise/School Management
  2. If it is your device, in that case, do you have any profile installed by your corporate/organisation/enterprise/School Management?
    1. Erase the profile added by you If you have installed a profile on your own --> Install or remove configuration profiles on iPhone - Apple ...
    2. Or please contact the system administrator of the organisation who provided the profile to you



A corporate profile installed on your iPhone could potentially be contributing to Locking the Screen unexpectedly. Here's why:

  • Restrictions: Corporate profiles can have restrictions placed on the usage time of apps and functionalities. These restrictions might be limiting background activity for Apps, causing them to lock.
  • Managed Apps: IT departments might deploy specific navigation apps through the profile, potentially conflicting with some Apps.
  • Security Settings: Corporate profiles often have stricter security settings that could affect app behavior. This might be causing unexpected locking of the screen.


Here's what you can do:

  • Check with IT: The best course of action is to contact your IT department. They can explain the restrictions set by the corporate profile and see if the iPhone is affected. They might be able to adjust settings or suggest alternative apps approved for corporate use.
  • Look for App Conflicts: See if your IT department uses a different navigation app through the corporate profile. Conflicting apps might cause crashes.


Additional points to consider:

  • Even if the profile isn't directly affecting Locking, it's still a good idea to check with IT. They might be aware of similar issues and have workarounds.


By working with IT and considering these possibilities, you can hopefully identify if the corporate profile is the culprit and find a solution that allows you to use the iPhone for longer period.
