Can we talk about how the phone did not have a screen lock? What?

Face ID keeps your phone unlocked as long as you're looking at the screen. Does that not do it for you?

That’s not an iPhone problem but a bug (or missing feature) in the app you’re using. Apps can disable screen lock while they are active with a single line of code. This is commonly used in video players, navigation apps, games, etc.
Hey that’s a great point. I’ll send them a note!
Depending how much you want to play around with it, you may be able to configure something with Shortcuts to get the desired behavior. I have something similar set up for screen brightness and media volume based on what WiFi networks I’m connected to or places I’m at.
Bet you they’re protecting themselves against battery life complaints. Apple Knows Best!
Not a custom lock option, but to make your life marginally easier:
So that would save a second… “Hey Siri, I’m commuting // autolock” -> the settings pop open. Source
From up that thread as well:
Appreciate the suggestions!
Keeping a recipe up while cooking for 20+ minutes is something I do frequently. Seems the iPhone would kinda annoying to try to use for this. Android has a 30m option and that's just fine.
A custom or 30 minute would be so nice honestly. That’s one setting that irks me most.
It was likely locked. There's a thing called Live Activities that displays things like flight details on the screen even when it is locked. Its very handy.
The guy who found it said it didn't have a screen lock: https://twitter.com/SeanSafyre/status/1744203705178845510
