Feature Request: Option to turn off auto-lock

[Bill_B_]

Requesting that an option to turn off auto-lock be added to the iOS App. Users who have chosen to have their iOS device to auto-lock, would be able to disable this feature when using the fitbit app. 

The auto-lock is a feature of iOS that puts the device to sleep and locks the screen after a certain amount of time that it hasn’t been touched. That’s pretty handy normally. When exercising though, the last thing you want is your device to go to sleep while you’re in the middle of your workout. Turning auto-lock off means that the device will not go to sleep. It uses more battery, but you wont have to unlock the screen just to check the status of your workout.

Hi @Bill_B_,

I'd recommend making this request on our Feature Request Board, specifically by voting and commenting on this request.

Top-voted feature requests get relayed to our product team for further consideration.

Hope this helps!

I want the Swip right from main screen back where you turn off AUTO screen awake and RECEIVE NOTIFICATIONS FROM PHONE. This feature allows you to save lots to it battery power when not working out and especially at night.

@DerrickSI don't think your link to the other Feature Board Request is the same as what @Bill_B_ was requesting.  I would also like the ability to override the IOS auto-lock feature (as is available in most GPS apps).  It is aggravating to have to tap the screen every 5 minutes during a 45-minute workout - and even more aggravating to have to unlock the screen during the workout if I didn't tap in time!
