Description

First of all, great work - I count this all as to most important app on my phone👌

I think following option would help a lot:

A option to enable “stay awake while uploading”, so that the screen won’t turn of automatically. I watch myself almost on daily basis going to phone settings, setting auto screen lock to never and after upload again to x min..

what do you think? Who also would like this feature?

unfortunately I’m not able to propose the code for this feature but I’m working on it, hopefully I will be contributing in future :)

Research direction

Start by locating the iOS upload flow and the existing handling of the device's automatic screen lock. Define how the “stay awake while uploading” option should be enabled and disabled, then verify that the screen remains on only for the duration of an upload.
