cant get to the lock screen (a15)

[delta6k]

i assume this is a setting im just too blind to find, but ive been searching for so long so id appreciate the pointer. if i turn the phone off and on again to get to the lock screen it automatically unlocks itself. it doesnt do it if i dont touch it for a bit but i cant get to the lock screen without leaving it for a bit. i assumed it was because i had fingerprint added but disabling it doesnt seem to help

Hey there and welcome to the Samsung UK Community Forum

Thank you for your question.

At first sight, this looks like you don't have a screen lock or SIM lock at start up but you may have a display lock which will kick in at whatever timeline you ask it to do so.... See here

Settings
Display
Screen Timeout

I personally would also recommend you set pin number number(s) or similar for your SIM and display.

ive got a pattern and a fingerprint added, its not the timeout. like if i try to quickly go back to the lock screen without leaving it off for 30 seconds or smth itll auto unlock. i assume theres a setting with something like keep unlocked unless off for x amount of time but i cant find anything similar. on my a12 i could just double press the on button and it'd take me to the lock screen. is that not a thing anymore?

Double tap is a thing, yes.

I'm not able to replicate your issue though. On my S24 Ultra, as soon as you turn the screen off, it requires a fingerprint or pin to access the screen again.
