I am a relatively new iPhone user

[question everything]

I use it for calls, texts and occasional visits of Facebook and Nextdoor to see what is new, thus, I continually move around the screen.

But during longer phone calls or on Facetime, when the screen starts fading I touch it to brighten it back, worrying that it may shut off. Shall I?

Thanks

1. Its a battery saving method as well as privacy of yourself from others.

(privacy of light illumination of you.. grammar on the rocks)

Either way is ok. After a while, its all subconscious automatic, whatever your choice is.

3. Thank you. Bottom line: do I need to keep tapping to keep the lines open?

4. Negative. but keep asking questions. something new all the time

2. Settings is your friend

On your Home screen, select the Settings app. Carefully go through all of the topics and their functions. You can’t hurt anything and you can always chance it back. (The one exception is Reset. NEVER okay that!)

There’s a topic for your screen where you can adjust the dimming feature.

Good luck!
