ipad lock screen - When I turn on my iPad the Lock Screen only sta on for 10 seconds then goes black.

How can I get the Lock Screen to stay on longer? I tried the Auto-Lock option, but it didn't work.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 18

If you don't interact with the iPad Lock Screen, by design, the iPad will dim the screen as it returns to its Sleep state until it is next awakened. This strategy is intended to save power.


After you have unlocked the iPad - using the Passcode or biometric authentication (TouchID or FaceID), the iPad screen will remain active until the selected Auto-Lock period expires.
