How to Adjust the Screen Timeout on an Android Phone

Adjusting the screen timeout on an Android phone can help you conserve battery life and prevent accidental taps or touches. Here's how to do it:

1. Open the "Settings" app on your Android phone. This is usually represented by a gear icon.

2. Scroll down and select "Display" or "Display & Sound" depending on the phone model.

3. Look for the option that says "Screen timeout," "Sleep," or "Auto-lock." The wording may vary depending on the phone model and Android version.

4. Tap on the option and select the desired screen timeout duration from the list. The available options may vary, but typically include 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, and 10 minutes.

5. Alternatively, you may also choose "Never" to disable the screen timeout entirely. However, this may drain your phone's battery faster.

6. Once you've selected the desired screen timeout duration, exit the Settings app, and your phone will automatically apply the changes.

Note: The steps above may vary slightly depending on your Android phone's model and operating system version.
