In preferences > General, is Cover Lock / Unlock on? If so, is your cover smart cover compatible?

Yes. Finally. Thank you. It's now under display and brightness on my pro too. Now my cover locks and unlocks my ipad.

How can I make it do that? I can't find it anywhere.

In iOS 10 "Settings" switch to "Display and Brightness"

Set Lock / Unlock to 'on'

Cover will now stitch off the display when closed.
