If the iPad is locked, unless unlocked using the device Passcode or TouchID/FaceID (as applicable for the iPad model), you will not be able to interact with most installed Apps - such as Facebook Messenger.


As a partial workaround, you might choose to disable the auto-lock function* - however, this is not recommended as the iPad and stored data will be accessible by anyone who gains physical access to the iPad.


(*) Settings > Display & Brightness > Auto-Lock - select Never
