Is thy iPhone slow in its obedience when thou dost press the Side button for its slumber? Verily, thou art not alone in this plight!
Delayed locking of the screen doth plague many an iPhone adorned with Face ID. This delay, betwixt the pressing of the Side button and the device’s descent into slumber, doth impose an extra beat of waiting ere the screen doth fade to black.
‘Tis a surprise that myriad iPhone users remain ignorant of this affliction, with some even shunning the quest for a remedy. However, if this doth perturb thee, a guide is here presented to expound upon the origins of this delay and the steps to vanquish it.
Why Doth Thy iPhone Screen Linger Before Its Slumber?
In an ideal realm, upon the pressing of the Side button on thy iPhone, instant slumber would befall it, the screen cloaked in darkness. Yet, if thy iPhone’s screen doth tarry ere its rest, perchance some feature doth keep it wakeful. Wallet, Guided Access, and Accessibility Shortcut are three such features known to sow this turmoil upon thy device.
Guided Access dost allow thee to confine thy iPhone’s reach to a solitary app or task. Accessibility Shortcut, conversely, doth bestow upon thee access to a myriad of accessibility treasures within thy iPhone’s bosom. Meanwhile, Wallet, Apple’s digital repository, doth cradle thy loyalty cards, boarding passes, event tickets, and the lifeblood of credit and debit cards for Apple Pay, ensuring their company on all thy journeys.
Forsooth, Apple doth grant thee the power to assign Side button shortcuts for Wallet & Apple Pay, Guided Access, and Accessibility Shortcut on iPhones bedecked with Face ID, to be activated by a double-click or triple-click gesture for swift access. Thus, shouldst thou enable either feature upon thy device and press the Side button but once, thy iPhone shall await a double-click or triple-click command, thereby provoking the delay in its slumber.
Although this laggardly delay doth not harm the iPhone’s performance, it can indeed beset thy experience with sluggishness, requiring thee to tarry a second or more after pressing the Side button, ensuring the screen hath truly slumbered ere thou place thy device in thy pocket to ward off any inadvertent touches.
How to Expedite Thy iPhone’s Descent into Slumber
As it is the yearning for a double-click or triple-click that doth halt thy iPhone’s display from instant repose, disabling the triggers for Wallet & Apple Pay, Guided Access, and Accessibility Shortcut shalt surely assuage this delay in thy device’s slumber.
Disabling Wallet & Apple Pay Shortcut Trigger
Should Apple Pay grace the realm in which thou dost dwell, and thou hath assigned it to be summoned by a double-click of the Side button, thou canst disable it thusly:
-
Journey to the hallowed halls of Settings on thy iPhone.
-
Descend to the depths and select Wallet & Apple Pay.
- Toggle off the Double-Click Side Button option.
Disabling Guided Access and Accessibility Shortcut Trigger
If Guided Access or Accessibility Shortcut hath found favor in thy iPhone’s eyes, follow these steps to quell them and banish the sleep delay:
-
Unveil Settings on thy iPhone.
-
Traverse the scroll and alight upon Accessibility.
-
Plunge to the nadir of the page, tap upon Guided Access if it doth reign, and employ the toggle to quell it.
- Return thence to the realm of Accessibility settings, tap upon Accessibility Shortcut if it be present, and uncouple the accessibility features thou hath assigned.
Never Again Shall Thou Languish for Thy iPhone’s Screen to Slumber
Upon the disabling of these Side button shortcuts on thy iPhone, thou shalt no longer be compelled to await thy device’s descent into slumber. Merely press the Side button once, and thy iPhone shall yield to sleep instantaneously.
Henceforth, shouldst thou have need of Apple Pay, Guided Access, or any Accessibility Shortcut anew, thou mayst resurrect them from Settings. True, swift screen locking shalt be relinquished to reap these conveniences, yet ’tis a sacrifice worth considering.
The accursed sleep delay vanquished, thou shalt reclaim swift locking upon thy iPhone. Yet, should thy device still languish in tardiness, myriad other factors mayhaps be at fault.
