This helps to prevent pocket dials, and it increases your battery life. But occasionally you might be reading something or using an app where you don’t touch your screen for a while, and constantly unlocking your screen can be tedious. Fortunately you can adjust the amount of time before this auto-lock occurs, allowing you to completely prevent the phone screen from locking automatically.
