Apple Maps should allow us to leave our iPhone screen off Since 2015 I have gotten rid of my car phone mount which I used to use for driving directions. This is simply because I find that the haptic information given to me by my Apple Watch and audio directions through my Bluetooth stereo are good enough and I’d rather not have distractions in front of me while I drive.

Now, I could just be stupid, but even though I leave my phone in my pocket and just use my watch, Apple Maps forces my phone’s screen to be always on while giving directions. I don’t want this, I don’t need this, I would much rather save my battery as much as I can. If I do want it for some odd reason I always have the option of just leaving the app open in the first place. Is there a workaround, or is this something that others here want Apple to change as much as I do?
