Hi ghufran82

welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community!


Re: "My iPad' voice control has been activated. I cannot open the lock screen"


That may depend on the iPad model, the iOS version installed, and the Voice Control settings you have chosen:

Also: "When VoiceOver is on, you need to use special gestures to unlock iPad, go to the Home Screen, open Control Center, switch apps, and more".


"Unlock iPad

  • On an iPad with a Home button: Press the Home button using the finger you registered with Touch ID.


  • On an iPad with Touch ID: Rest your finger on the top button using the finger you registered with Touch ID.


  • On an iPad with Face ID: Wake iPad and glance at it, then drag up from the bottom edge of the screen until you hear two rising tones (if Face ID is enabled).


If prompted, enter your passcode. To avoid having your passcode spoken as you enter it, enter your passcode silently using handwriting mode or type onscreen braille."


Above is from Apple Support's online articles below.
