Screen keeps dimming and locking

Sweggles

Lurker
My phone screen keeps dimming and telling me to drag to unlock while i'm watching videos/haven't touched the screen in a while its very annoying to constantly have to swipe my screen. Ive searched through all my settings and googled for solutions for hours and can't find anything like no one other than me has had this problem lol. Hopefully someone here can help ill attach an image of what it looks like when it happens.

For some reason, that app you're using has been added to Game Launcher. That's the screen lock feature of Game Launcher for idle games. Since the screen is AMOLED, if you leave it for some time on games, the static images might get burned in, so it dims and then eventually turns the screen off while leaving the game running to prevent screen damage. This only works for apps that are placed IN Game Launcher though. If you want an app to not have that happen, remove it from Game Launcher.

Haha yeah I just figured out yesterday after months of trying it fix it thanks! I never used game launcher before and it did that to ever single app so it must have been bugged or something.
