Probably a weird question, but...

My X, despite being set to lock after 30 seconds, used to stay on indefinitely if I was looking at it. At first I thought it was annoying, then I started to make use of it.

I have a dash mount in my truck and I’d let the phone stay on while playing Spotify. It allowed me to quickly add or remove the song with a swift tap of the heart button.

Now that I have the Pro Max, it’s not doing that anymore. I don’t even know if that was an intended feature, but can I somehow turn that back on?

If you are looking at the phone it shouldn’t shut off. But if you are driving you are not looking at the phone.

There is a setting for “require attention for faceid.” You may want to turn that off.

Oh, wow! This IS an adjustable feature. Should I turn both off like this?
