Screensaver when device is idle

Hi, I’m developing an App that will be on both iOS and Android and was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of how to create a screensaver.

Something along the lines of: if no input has been detected in x time, SetActive(true) screensaver graphic. If input is detected, SetActive (false) screensaver graphic.

I know I could do the latter part with a simple OnClick() function but it’s the start I can’t quite figure out.

Ive found a solution that incorporates a Raycast hit detection (as opposed to a mouse click):

public float timeOut = 20.0f; // Time Out Setting in Seconds
private float timeOutTimer = 0.0f;

	void Update(){
		timeOutTimer += Time.deltaTime;
		// If screen is tapped, reset timer
		if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)){
			timeOutTimer = 0.0f;
			//Dont active screensaver
		}
		// If timer reaches zero, start screensaver
		if (timeOutTimer > timeOut){
			//Activate Screensaver
		}
	}
}
