You can do this with Macrodroid.

Macrodroid is an app that automates various tasks in your phone. It lets you create custom "macros" that trigger actions or sequences of actions in response to specific events.

Follow these steps:

0: Install and open the app 😆

1: Press Add Macro

2: Give it a name

3: Triggers > Battery/Power > Power Connected/Disconnected > Power Disconnected > OK

4: Actions > Screen > Screen On/Off > Screen Off > OK > Lock Screen > OK

5: Constraints > Device State > Device Locked/Unlocked > Device Locked > OK

6: Save

That's about it!

You do need to give it device admin permission and make sure your os doesn't kill the app to "save battery".

    You know, I have over 100 macros setup in MacroDroid but I didn't think about using it for this for some reason! It's an amazing app. Everyone should try automation apps.

    I always install automation apps and get overwhelmed by the options/features available within them. What are your must used cases with MacroDroid?

    Automatically muting notification sound when in certain apps like video players, automatically adjusting auto rotate in certain apps, scanning NFC tags which I attached to the lids of my pill bottles so I can automatically add what I've taken, how much I've taken, and when I took it. And a bunch of other stuff I can't think of off the top of my head lol

    I have over 100 macros and I've made an effort to use just about every feature in the app, feel free to ask me questions. MacroDroid also makes it really easy to share Macros which can help too.

    Probably not without root

    That's unfortunate.

    Technically, you can actually by changing this developer setting

    If your screen never turns off whilst charging then fixed it, right?

    ....runs away. 😇

    Neat. I use an automation app to accomplish this already because I didn't know about that option.

    Yeah I'm just been a little tongue in cheek and keeping your screen active would probably make Greta mad and possibly lead to burn in on your screen.

    Both of these are undesirable, and there might be something out there for ya. Gotta ask, why, do you want this specifically?

    Like I unplug maybe once a day so it's not an issue here, but curious why it's irking you?

    I plug in pretty often, and everytime I unplug face recognition unlocks my phone and the screen will stay on without me realizing it which has led to me being in apps basically pocket dialing. Also my Switch has this setting, which I like because I have to plug that in pretty often too and if the screen stays on it dies pretty quickly. It also lets me load it into to the bag quicker. But mostly I just like to customize and tinker.
