How to change the Auto-Lock time on my iPad?

“auto lock” is in pale print and doesn’t respond when I click on it. Currently set for two seconds. How do I extend it ?

I doubt that your iPad's Auto-Lock is currently two seconds - but more likely two minutes.


iPad auto-lock will be fixed at two minutes if you have enabled Low Power mode:

Settings > Battery > Low Power Mode - set to OFF


You might also check that Date & Time and TimeZone are also correctly set for your iPad - as these settings are known to cause various functional issues if incorrectly configured:

Settings > General > Date & Time
