> Do people really walk around with their phones set to never lock and turn the screen off?

I set mine to lock and auto-turn off after a short moment.

Nonetheless, I have found that the phone will sometimes get in a state or screen which prevents autolocking. It does this usually at the same state or screen but it's easy to trigger accidentally without noticing.

...just pull down the top bar. That might happen if you're holding your phone and it gets sucked out of your fingers. Or stolen right out of your hand.




The autolocking fails is why I wish I could lock my whole photo library behind an additional layer of unlock instead of just the hidden album.
