Keep The Screen on While Listening To Music IOS8

While driving and listening to music, I prefer to have the iPhone's screen on ... just makes it easier to change songs without having to hit the home button to bring the player controls back up. Is there a way to do this in ios8?

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8

Hi shafeen,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!


You can turn off the Auto-Lock in Settings to keep you iPhone from going to sleep. Keep in mind that your battery life will decrease if your iPhone does not go to sleep.


iPhone: About General Settings


Auto-Lock

Locking iPhone turns off the display. Nothing happens if you touch the screen. You can still receive calls and text messages, an you can adjust the volume and use the mic button on the iPhone Stereo headset when listening to music or on a call.

Set the amount of time before iPhone locks

Choose General > Auto-Lock and choose a time.


Have a great day,

Joe
