User level: Level 1 (8 points)My New iPhone 18 Pro will not auto Lock the phone when switched on and not in use. Have tried different auto lock settings but will only dim the screen. Phone will only lock if switched off and then on. Also face recognition one works for cards in my wallet. Will not unlock phone.
