How can I turn ON screen timeout whilst playing games.

[HellzKitten]

So I've noticed with my newer galaxy a51 that the screen doesn't auto turn off when I'm playing games.

But how(if) can I actually turn ON this feature? So that if I'm distracted (or fall asleep more likely) whilst playing a game the screen will turn off after so many minutes?

I dunno which setting does it bc I have both what @h0h0h0 said for settings and also
When the game is on swipe down the notification menu find and tap on game tools /advanced/auto lock screen.
If your navigation bar is streaking and showing stuff most of us don't wanna see 🤦, there's a game tools button there when your playing too 🙃✌️

Unfortunately I've tried all three of those.. the normal setting for screen time out works fine every other time except when playing games.

I've gone into game booster and changed the settings to no avail.

Thanks everyone.

Hi HellzKitten, I would like to inform you that it is not possible to auto turn off the screen while playing the game on your mobile device.

Is this 'screen turn off while in games' available on the new one ui 4.0? If not is it possible for us to make it a suggestion for a future one ui update.
