Question: A lot of apps keep my phone's screen on (for example, youtube). Does Pokemon Go do the same thing? I'm asking because when I play the game, my screen turns off after a few seconds. I have to keep touching the screen so it won't turn off. The problem is that when I touch the screen, I lose the orientation that I am facing when I'm in "compass mode." If it is supposed to stay on, is there a setting or something that keeps it on?

I saw this [question and answer](https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/272559/i-found-an-egg-what-do-i-do) which says that you are supposed to keep the game open to hatch an egg. Does that mean you have to keep touching the screen to keep it active? 

I mostly just want to verify if it is a problem with my phone and it stays on for other players. I'm on android.

Answer: 
It doesn't, so you'll have to update your system settings.

On Android, the setting should be located somewhere like this, but might vary slightly depending on which phone you're using:

Settings -> My Device -> Display -> Screen Timeout

If your phone is like mine, you might find that the highest the inactivity timeout can be raised is to 10 minutes. If that's a problem, you can [install an app to keep your phone from timing out](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.synetics.stay.alive) instead.
In settings, under Device heading go to battery& power saving,g o to battery usage and go into ignore battery optimization. Toggle on apps that you want to override your screen. You don't need any third party apps I am using an lg g5.
