How to get screensavers on iPad?

Hello, I have been wondering if it is possible to get iPad screen savers. If it is possible, please tell me how.

Thanks

iPad isn’t like a desktop or laptop computer - where the screen switches to a “screensaver” when the computer is idle. iPad will Sleep when idle, shutting down the screen to save power - defeating the entire purpose of a screen saver. 


You can, however, set a Wallpaper for your Lock and Home Screens from iPad settings:

Settings > Wallpaper > Choose a New Wallpaper


You might choose to have your Lock Screen wallpaper change automatically, or to display different pictures from your photo library using the photo shuffle feature:
