iPhone Sleeps While Watching videos

[adham7897]

My iPhone sleeps if I don't touch the screen for 30 seconds while watching videos.
It dims, and then sleeps.
I think that started in the last week.
It happens while watching videos in Safari, Netflix, and other apps.
I'm on 10.3.1.
How do I fix it?!

Try a restart with home + lock buttons held down until you see the Apple logo. Wake/lock + volume down if its an iPhone 7 I believe.

Already did that. No luck.

Do you have low power mode enabled? (battery color would be light orange and not green regardless of charge level).

No.
Is low power mode even supposed to do that?!

low power mode dims the screen faster so was wondering.

I watch videos while on low power mode all the time and haven't encountered this.

Does anyone know how to fix it?

Yes

No, I don't think it's supposed to auto-lock while watching videos, even if LPM is on.

I don't remember this hapenning in previous versions of iOS 10.
When did you notice it?
This is so annoying, and even more stupid, can't see a single reason for Apple to do this. At least, give us an option to disable it.

Did you upgrade your device through OTA? Try to restore it using iTunes. Don't forget to take a backup.
