I've never seen this myself, but I do use some apps, like the BARD Mobile App, where you can configure it to not lock the phone while you're in the app.

By reboot I mean turning the phone off completely and back on. I have the same issue but also very rarely when the phone doesn't start charging when I put it down on my charging pad and once again this usually goes away if I turn the phone off and back on. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Margaret Thomas Sent: Thursday, September 8, 2022 10:16 AM To: V iPhone list <viphone@googlegroups.com> Subject: Re: Can I Use Touch ID Instead of Pass Code Richard, I tried 2 more times with different amounts of time and it didn't lock. I think Notifications and maybe Focus is my homework assignment. Smile. I was having trouble with Notifications when I tried to work with them before. At least I can do a manual lock.
