How do I increase screen timeout when in a phone call?

[Chevy-SS]

S21 here. I have the standard "Screen Timeout" set to 5 minutes, using Settings>Display>Screen Timeout. For most things, the screen will stay on for the 5 minutes.

However, when I am actually talking on the phone, I typically use speakerphone and in that mode, the screen times out in maybe 15 seconds, and then I have to hit the side button to get it back. It's most annoying. I cannot find the adjustment for screen timeout while using speakerphone. Where the heck is it buried??

Thanks

I recall seeing this issue discussed before -- I don't think there's a setting for that. You may have to use a 3rd party app like Wakey.

I've been playing with Wakey. I bought the full version. I cannot get it to keep the Phone screen active. Is there a Forum for Wakey, or somewhere I could really dig into the instructions? Thanks

SOLVED!!!!!! I wanted to follow up with this, in case anyone else may be stuck with same problem. I am using Wakey app. I have it set in "FaceWake" mode and it seems to work!!!! This mode is only available with the Premium (paid) version, but for a few bucks, the issue is solved! My screen stays active when using phone, I love it!

I'm glad it works for you! (Sorry for the delay, I was busy at work.)
