iPad won’t sleep
Why for the last 2 or so months won’t my iPad “sleep”. I have the settings on for two minutes, I have shut it down, it is up to date. Thank you

Hello larcs0309,
You've taken some great steps to try to resolve the issue you're experiencing with your iPad not sleeping or locking as expected.
Here are some additional steps to try:
- Since using Low Power Mode might interfere with Auto-Lock, make sure that Low Power Mode is turned off: Use Low Power Mode to save battery life on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
- If you're using a case, cover, or screen protector on your iPad, try removing it, and check whether that resolves the issue. If you're using a Smart Folio or Smart Cover, check out the information under "Wake and sleep your iPad" here: Use the Smart Folio or Smart Cover with your iPad - Apple Support
- Go to Settings > Display & Brightness and turn off Lock/Unlock. Then, toggle Lock/Unlock back on again to see if that resolves the issue.
Take care.
