Just got a new iPhone or switched from Android to iPhone and wondering how to lock your iPhone screen and unlock it? If yes, you have landed in the right place. It's always a smart idea to lock your iPhone to avoid accidental presses when the device is in your pockets or in your bag with other gadgets. Interestingly, there is more than one way to secure your iPhone. Even better, your iPhone can lock the screen automatically for you. In this article, we will discuss all the ways to lock and unlock the screen of your iPhone. Go ahead!

Your iPhone has a built-in "Auto-Lock" feature that automatically dims and eventually locks your iPhone screen when it's not used for a certain amount of time. So you don't have to remember to lock the screen yourself. This keeps your device safe from any unwanted access and prevents accidental presses when not in use. How to lock your iPhone screen automatically:

Once you set the time limit, your iPhone screen will automatically lock after that time. If you want to save battery life on your iPhone, you need to select the lower duration, i.e. 30 seconds for the auto-lock feature.

You can also lock your iPhone manually after using it. For this, you can use the side button, which is the same button you use to turn on your iPhone. Just press the side button once and your screen will turn off and your iPhone will be locked. Super simple!
