Display doesn’t turn off

My iPhone 8 display doesn’t turn off or lock by itself. I have to lock it manually or otherwise it stays on for hours! How do I fix it. I have auto lock set at all options and nothing works.

Try rebooting your phone. Press and quickly release the volume up button. Then press and quickly release the volume down button. Then press and hold the power button until the Apple Logo appears and let go. Your phone will reboot. When it comes up see if Settings > Display & Brightness lets you choose the Auto-Lock option you want.
