How to turn off Tap to Wake on iPhone X so that the screen does not light up when touched

Turning off the Tap to Wake feature on iPhone (Touch to unlock) will no longer brighten up the screen when touched, helping you to reduce accidentally turning on the phone screen, saving iPhone battery when needed.

One of the new iPhone X features is Tap to Wake, which allows you to turn on the device by tapping the screen. It's a great way to quickly check the latest announcements. However, if you keep accidentally touching the screen repeatedly, or you want to save battery power, turn off this feature.

Previously, the iPhone has a Raise to Wake feature, which allows you to turn on the screen when holding the device up. Disabling the Tap to Wake feature does not affect Raise to Wake.

Step 1. Open the Settings / Settings app on the device → press General / General settings .
