Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, derekfromcoleraine.
If I understand your post correctly, you have to manually press the Sleep/Wake button to lock your iPhone as it is not automatically locking. I'd like to help.
Let's take a look at the setting that can affect this feature. Tap Settings > Display & Brightness > Auto-Lock and see which amount of time it is currently set to Auto-Lock after. If you have Low Power Mode enabled, Auto-Lock will be automatically set for 30 seconds. For more information about Low Power Mode, see this article:
Use Low Power Mode to extend battery life on your iPhone
Let us know if that resolves this issue for you.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Take care.
Same thing. Any fix Apple?
Worked for me too....thanks!
Same I have reported last month to the support team in chat. But they asked me to do all basic troubleshooting like factory reset, set to new phone etc.. but It does not resolve! Any suggestions
Same problem on two phones. Obviously, an IOS or hardware problem that Apple needs to fix rather than ignoring their customers. I've done the reboot before and it doesn't last as a fix.
This suggestion doesn’t solve my problem. My phone WONT auto-lock at all.
Same here AND my husband’s 8... it’s a major security problem for him due to HIPPA laws since he’s in the medical field. Apple needs a fix ASAP!
Issue for me too. 3 work iPhones - same problem.
I too have this problem. Nothing seems to work.
Regardless if the screen is locked or not, if the display is lit it will not turn off again unless i hit power button
I have this issue as well. The auto lock setting is set to 30 seconds and it stays on indefinitely until I press the side lock button.
I have the same problem with my iphone 8.
I have to the same issue with my iPhone 8. Lastest update does not fix the issue. Please fix it.
Are you saying it happened With 11.1? I am currently a week and a bit with my wife's phone not having the problem yet, so was hoping it might be fixed.
Same problem for me... when the problem occurs, the dynamic or live image of the home screen and lock screen freeze and jump.
Reebot solve problem for a few days and then reappears.
Hallo Apple, wake up! Get your act together and solve this problem!😠😠😠
Problem is back after shutting down the phone.
