Auto-lock greyed out / stuck on 30 seconds

[Lillian Iskandar]

Hi,

My auto-lock is greyed out and is set to 30 seconds. Does anyone know how to fix it so I can change the auto-lock timing? I just upgraded to IOS 9.

Thanks

This worked for me TODAY!!!
My phone totally died because I forgot my charger on a trip. When Apple did an update it caused my auto-lock to be grated out. Thanks!!

"Grayed out"

It's not restrictions. It's Low Power Mode.

Go to: Settings >> Battery >> Low Power Mode (Turn OFF).

I fell asleep before plugging my phone charger in and during the night, battery went to 1% and I believe it automatically goes into Low Power Mode to keep from dying completely.

Thanks this was absolutely correct

Never mind, found the issue. Had low power mode on.

I have tried this on my wife's iPhone 5s and the Auto-Lock is still greeted out and locked 30 seconds. Any further ideas to try?

I had the same problem on my iphone 8; reviewing the thread, I turned low power mode on then off, and then I could access auto-lock and change it.
