I've recently bought a Motorola Edge 20 pro and sometimes it fails to sleep and the screen remains on although the screen timeout has been set to 30 seconds. How can I diagnose this? Is this a common problem with Android or some app is responsible for it?

Ok i think I found out what is causing the issue. I have an app installed called muscle wiki. When I open that app and play a workout video, if I go back to home screen the phone won't go to sleep.

Ahh that'll do it!

That's not a common issue for Android overall. Has it always been doing it, or just recently?

Do you have features enabled that keep the screen on while you're looking at it?

It randomly runs into this issue, abd it's resolved with a reboot. And no i have disabled that feature.
