Ipad keeps turning off when mirroring Netflix on a monitor

Hey, does anyone know how to stop their iPad (in this case 6th gen pro) from automatically turning off when mirroring something on an external monitor. It worked fine with iPad os 16 but ever since I updated to 16.5 it won’t. I don’t want to change the normal auto lock function though.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 16

If you note an unexpected change of behaviour subsequent to a system software update, perform a forced-restart - as this will often clear an isolated software issue:


Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)

If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:

  1. Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
  3. Press and hold the top button.
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.




Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)

Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.



Also note that iPadOS 16.5.1 is current. If you have not already done so, you should update as soon as practicable. This update includes both functional fixes and essential security updates.
