How to Customize Your Apple Watch Screen Lock Time

Share This:

The Apple Watch is an incredibly powerful and useful device, allowing you to stay connected, informed, and entertained while on the go. However, one of the most important features that the Apple Watch has to offer is its ability to lock itself after a set period of time. This feature is incredibly important as it can help keep your data secure and protect your watch from unauthorized access.

So how long does the Apple Watch screen lock after it has been inactive? By default, the Apple Watch will lock itself after 15 minutes of inactivity. This means that if you haven’t interacted with your watch for 15 minutes, then it will automatically lock itself and require a passcode for access.

Fortunately, this setting is customizable so you can adjust the amount of time until your watch locks itself. To change this setting go into your Apple Watch’s settings and tap on Passcode. Here you can turn wrist detection on or off as well as adjust how long until your watch locks itself. You can choose between 30 seconds all the way up to 4 hours or even neer if you prefer to never have it lock itself automatically.

It’s also possible to manage Always On settings on your Apple Watch which alows you to turn on or off the feature that keeps the display active when not in use. To do this open up the Settings app on your Apple Watch and tap Display & Brightness where you can scroll down and select Always On.

Overall, having a customisable auto-lock time on an Apple Watch is an incredibly useful feature that helps keep our data secure while we are away from our watches for extended periods of time.
