Disabling auto-lock is definitely a thing, as anyone that's ever tried to use an iPhone in a car for navigation knows.
It's very possible the phone has a passcode but was sucked out while someone was using it, and never put to sleep.
Also worth noting the owner had a screen protector, so that may have quashed that everlasting debate.
- kiwijamo 3y agoWhen I use my phone for navigation it doesn't lock itself. I've observed this behaviour on iOS and Android.
- wharvle 3y agoiOS kinda keeps the map open outside the lock (at least with Apple Maps). Everything else locks behind it. At least on mine.
- Sebb767 3y agoThe behavior I know is that (both iOS and Android) will open the map in foreground even when locked (for example by being turned off and on again via the power button), but it will never go to stand by and lock by itself as long as navigation is open.
- SoftTalker 3y agoGoogle Maps stays open as well. The phone is locked, but the map stays active on the screen.
- grotorea 3y agoThere is an "don't lock" app feature, most obviously used by video apps but I've seen a couple others offering this feature.
- MenhirMike 3y agoAlso, since the charging cable was technically still attached, I wonder if that turns it off as well.
- ThePowerOfFuet 3y agoIt doesn't. Auto-Lock would have had to be explicitly disabled.
