Has anyone else experienced their screen turning off while reading or watching something? I have an S23 Ultra and have noticed that since the last update, my screen turns off even through I've enabled the "Keep screen on while viewing" option. Very frustrating. Has this happened to anyone else and is there a fix for this?

There's also a screen timeout setting which may be conflicting with always on. Go to Settings, use search option and enter screen timeout. On my device (a tablet) it limits me to maximum of 30 minutes

Google the problem (bypass samsung screen timeout settings) and https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D...
I note my phone has only to minutes 😮💨
Sometimes you can also find it in the open app top right, but not in my own phone.
Beyond my skills but possibly write something under routines (or search google with key word routines?).
Beware, if it is always set with no screen timeout it will use more battery and may affect your screen.
