What apps keep screen on when plugged in??

[silbeej]

Ever since the introduction of iOS 10, my iphone screen does not stay on (although dimmed), when it is plugged in and making a phone call. This is far and away the most annoying thing so far, as i always keep it docked or plugged in throughout the day, and i make a bunch of conference calls where i need quick access to the buttons. This got me thinking as to why they would change this, as well as which apps keep the screen on. So far, pandora, amazon music, and Outlook keep the screen on when it is plugged in.

Anyone know of how to get this functionality back when using the phone, or why this change occurred?

Cheers

Annoys me as well.

The other thing that annoys me about 10 is the auto brightness function. It goes back and forth right in front of me. Very distracting.

9 was better in every way that matters.

Seems like either an intentional change to save some battery (not really distinguishing between being plugged in or not) or something like that, or a bug perhaps, although given how it seems to work it's not as likely to be that.

I performed a software update using iTunes, no OTA, and the issue seems to have resolved itself. Maybe it's an OTA bug.

Edit: Spoke too soon, no fix for phone calls.
