Disable Always On Lockscreen

On my iPhone X, every time I get a notification, the screen stays on. If I don’t manually lock my phone, it will continue to show the lock screen. This has never happened before and with the new setting that makes voicemails display every two minutes, my screen constantly turns itself on. Is there anyway to turn this off, or is it a bug?

This guy doesnt understand your issue. I have the same thing. My phone is sitting on the table, and a notification comes in, and the lock screen stays on until I hit the side button. I’ve been seeing this issue, and I suspect it’s a larger issue that folks haven’t noticed yet. I think it has something to do with the new face camera thinking it’s seeing you and trying to lock onto your face. I‘m just guessing, but it’s a huge problem.

You don’t understand, because he wasn’t asking how to turn off the screen, he was asking why the screen didn’t turn off automatically. This issue is the screen turns on in response to a notification. after a moment, it should turn itself off if the user doesn’t touch the phone. My display stayed on for over 4hours until I hit the side button. If the phone is sitting idle with no user interaction, then the screen should turn off after a set time out. This isn’t happening. Has nothing to do with DND.
