Tired of Talking in the Dark? How to Keep Your iPhone Screen Lit Like a Disco Ball (Without Ending Up in One)
Let's face it, folks. We've all been there. You're in the middle of a riveting conversation with your bestie, catching up on the latest life drama (because, let's be honest, phone calls are basically reality TV with better sound quality). Suddenly, your iPhone screen goes dark. Is it a power outage? Did your phone mysteriously develop a sleep disorder? Nope, it's just your trusty device assuming you're channeling your inner koala and taking a nap against your ear.
While the auto-lock feature is great for saving battery life (and preventing you from accidentally ordering a thousand spatulas at 3 am), it can be a real mood killer during calls. Fear not, fellow phone warriors! Here's how to keep your iPhone screen illuminated like a disco ball during your next call, ensuring you can:
- Avoid accidentally hanging up by swiping through a million apps you didn't even know you had (because who needs an actual "end call" button, right?).
- Impress your friends with your lightning-fast reflexes as you mute the microphone just in time to unleash that epic sneeze.
- Channel your inner detective and examine those questionable stains on your shirt while pretending to listen intently. (Hey, we all multitask, okay?)
Here are two battle-tested methods to banish the screen darkness:
Method 1: Embrace the Power of the Side Button
- Locate the side button (it's the one you use to lock your phone). This trusty button is your secret weapon.
- During a call, simply press the side button once. Voila! Your screen will spring back to life, allowing you to access the call controls and avoid any accidental app-induced mayhem.
Method 2: Disable "Prevent Lock to End Call"
- Head over to your Settings app. We're going on a little adventure!
- Navigate to the "Accessibility" section. Because sometimes, making your phone accessible involves keeping the screen on so you can, you know, access it.
- Tap on "Touch." We're getting closer!
- Scroll down and find the glorious option called "Prevent Lock to End Call." Isn't that a beautiful name?
- Toggle the switch to the ON position. Now your phone screen will think twice before going all Sleeping Beauty on you during a call.
There you have it! With these simple tricks, you can keep your iPhone screen shining bright like a diamond (or at least a moderately bright phone screen) during your next call. So go forth and chat, illuminated by the power of knowledge (and maybe a disco ball, if you're feeling fancy).
