Hello,


This sounds like it's happening due to the sleep focus mode setting. If you want to have the sleep focus mode turned on but to still see the Lock Screen, you can do the following:

  • Open settings
  • Go to 'Focus'
  • Select the sleep focus mode
  • Under the 'Customise Screen' section select Options
  • Toggle of 'Sleep Screen'


Hope this helps!
