Are you tired of having to constantly unlock your iPhone every time you get home? Would you like the convenience of having it automatically unlock when you arrive? If so, then this blog post is for you.

It’s no secret that iPhones are one of the most popular smartphones on the market today. They offer a sleek design, powerful hardware, and convenient features. But one feature that is lacking is an option to keep your iPhone unlocked at home.

Most people have their iPhones set to lock after a certain period of time, usually after 5 minutes or so. This means that when you get home from work or school, you have to take the time to enter your passcode or use Touch ID in order to access your phone. This can be annoying and inconvenient when all you want to do is quickly check something on your phone or make a call.

Fortunately, there are ways that you can keep your iPhone unlocked when at home. First, make sure that Smart Lock is enabled on your device by going into Settings > Security > Advanced Settings > Smart Lock. Once enabled, your device will stay unlocked as long as certain conditions are met:

-The device has just been turned on or restarted
-The device has not been unlocked for more than 48 hours
-The passcode has not been used to unlock the device in the last six days and TouchID has not unlocked the device in the last eight hours
-The device has received a remote lock command

You can also set up Trusted Places and Trusted Devices which will allow your iPhone to stay unlocked while at those locations or connected to those devices respectively. To do this, go into Settings > Security > Advanced Settings > Smart Lock > Trusted Places/Devices and follow the instructions provided.

Finally, if none of these options suit your needs, then you can always manually set Auto-Lock to Never while at home so that it stays unlocked until manually turned off using the Side button. You can do this by going into Settings > Display & Brightness > Auto-Lock and choosing Never from the list of options available.

With these tips in mind, keeping your iPhone unlocked while at home should be much easier than before! So go ahead and try them out – you’ll be glad you did!
