When the phone is locked, the WiFi will turn off
That's expected behavior. It should reconnect when you wake up the screen. It should remain connected if your phone is plugged in to power, too.

I want the WiFi not to turn off when the phone is locked.
You need to leave your phone plugged in to power for the wifi to stay on. There is no way around this.

If you have an older phone, it needs to be plugged in for "Hey Siri" to work.
