iPhone set timeout period for sleep mode

If I set my iPhone 7 down for a couple of minutes, the phone goes into screen lock mode.

Can I make the timeout period longer?

Yes, you can. Go to Settings>Display & Brightness>Auto-Lock, set the time you wish. However, understand the longer the screen is on, the more battery is uses.

You can indeed. Go to Settings > Display & Brightness > Auto-Lock. From there you can choose the time. Don't forget longer time could mean less battery life.
