bedtime missing from IpadOS 14

I’m with you on this jcrigler.

I took Chris_D13’s bot-like advice and left this comment on the Apple Feedback link he provided below:

”With this upgrade you took a pretty personal feature from the iPad that people like me use in their everyday life without giving us a replacement. I don’t even care to get into a debate on the health benefits of not keeping your phone by your bed while you sleep, seemingly negated by keeping an iPad by your bed. The way I have my devices set up and how I use them is a personal choice that my only answer to is: “🖕🏽I’ll do what I want with my own things.” Either release a Health app for iPad, or put Bedtime back in it’s clock. Stop doing things half-assed by pretending to make everything seamless across the devices when clearly you’re not. You’re just turning a blind eye to the inconveniences you are creating for a lot of your “users” (what an insulting 🤬 term).”

This CUSTOMER wasn’t asking about restoring prior version of iOS for their iPad, they are requesting this feature be that was taken away by Apple to brought back. Did some human from Apple look at this or was it a bot reply? I too want the feature to be available in iPadOS 14.

I totally agree, and I wrote to Apple as well. This was a great feature on the iPad. There is a huge difference between waking slowly and being jarred out of a deep sleep. It can set the tone for the day. Especially now when things are challenging enough, waking up gently and gradually really helps.

Hopefully some human at Apple actually reads the product feedback and cares.

Greetings jcrigler,

Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities! It seems you're curious if there's a way to restore the Bedtime feature for iPadOS.

Restoring to an earlier version of iPadOS isn't supported. You're welcome to leave feedback directly to Apple with your thoughts on features and enhancements at the following website: Product Feedback - Apple

Kind regards.
