My iPad keeps locking itself every few seconds, any ideas how to fix it... Drives me crazy as the screen keeps going blank and I have to constantly put in my pass code every few seconds. Can someone help me out please. The pass code lock is set at 10 minutes but it's happening every few seconds :(

Hello Jackie, I had to go through a lot to reply here but anyways I have been experiencing this issue on my iPad only. My iPhone seems to be working perfectly but my iPad Air 2 will just automatically go blank then the waiting circle will spin in the middle of the screen for a few seconds and it will ask for my passcode. So my questions are how to fix this from recurring and why only on the date December 2nd? Can I just manually change the date to Dec 1 or something other and wait until tomorrow to set it to update automatically? Or maybe just turn the iPad off until tomorrow? Please let me know something soon, I have a lot of work on my iPad and I’m worried as to whether I can potentially lose it or even worse. Thank you for taking your time to read this.
