Why is my wifi automatically turning off when the screen is locked?

[Windows Central Question]

Wi-fi automatically turning off when screen is locked

Hello. I have a Lumia 730 and the Wi-Fi is automatically turning off whenever the screen locks itself. This is very annoying because I am not getting Whatsapp notifications when the phone is in my pocket. I tried to find some setting to fix this problem but I didn't find anything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can fix this problem by going to: Settings > WiFi > advanced > then tick "Keep WiFi on when screen times out".
