Disable Raise to Wake

Raise to Wake makes your screen turn on every time you lift your iPhone. It’s useful if you check your phone a lot, but it can also cause your screen to light up unnecessarily — like when you’re just moving your phone from your pocket to a table.

Here’s how to turn off Raise to Wake:

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Scroll down and tap on Display & Brightness.
3. Scroll down again and turn off Raise to Wake.

And that’s it. Now, you’ll need to tap the screen or press the Side button to wake your iPhone, but it’ll reduce the number of times your display lights up throughout the day.
