Screen wake - go to home screen The apple watch has "On screen wake show last app" with a time limit that means if the watch is unused for a period of time, go back to watch mode.  

I've found this so useful in avoiding distractions that I'd like to find out if iOS has something similar.

I want it to go to the first page of the home screen if it's been inactive (asleep) for more than a few minutes.

Is there a way to do that?

I recognize that a quick swipe from the bottom will do this, but my problem is getting distracted with what I was working on awhile ago when my desire is to check my calendar, email, or something else.  I'd prefer the phone to handle it for me.
Unfortunately, this is not currently possible as a setting on iPhone. You may want to consider sending feedback to Apple concerning this.
