The 'Never' option in Auto-lock on my iPad 2 iOS 8.2 is missing, how do I reinstate it? I have reset all settings but this hasn't worked.
iPad 2, iOS 8.2
I cant think of any reason why it would not reappear after you reset all settings, unless you have some sort of profile on the iPad that prevents the device from never locking. Is this your own iPad, company or school owned?
It is my own iPad. I can lock for 2 and 5 minutes only, the other options I had have disappeared. I'm not sure if they disappeared when I set up a Gmail account which I have since deleted but the 'Never' option was not reinstated. Do you know where I look at my profile?
A Profile would be something that you would see in the settings. If this is your own iPad, and you never had a profile installed, there is nothing to look for. A profile can be installed on company iPads or school owned iPads that can prevent users from changing certain settings or doing things that aren't approved.
Anything is possible, but I can't see what the email account would have to do with this bizarre behavior. Try a reset. You will not lose any data. This is just like rebooting your computer. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen, then let go of the buttons. When the iPad fully starts up, look again.
Still not appeard.
Do you have a work MS Exchange account in Mail?
If so, your work requires the iPad to be locked.
Remove the Exchange account.

Did you read the responses from almost 3 years ago?
General-Auto Lock-'Never' option is no longer available, how do I reinstate it?
