While you're dictating with Mobius, your phone screen won't turn off or lock. When you pause dictation, we'll follow your iOS settings for "Auto-Lock" preferences. You can also adjust this setting to a different value if needed!

How to Change the Auto-Lock Time:

  1. Open the "Settings" app on your iPhone.

  2. Scroll down and tap on "Display & Brightness."

  3. Tap on "Auto-Lock."

  4. Choose the desired time limit for your iPhone to automatically lock the screen (e.g. "3 minutes").

Important Note:

By setting the Auto-Lock time to 3-5 minutes, you can find a good balance between preserving your iPhone's battery life and having your active apps stay on the screen even when you're not using them for a while.
