Q: Continuous beeping on iPad Pro w/ Smart Keyboard

About every day, I will find my iPad Pro continuously beeping.  Laying flat on my desk with the keyboard closed or in my briefcase.  The only way to stop the beeping is to remove the keyboard completely.  Just opening doesn't stop it.

I think it's related to notifications happening, as there are always notifications on the splash screen when I open the keyboard.  In the case of it laying on my desk, there shouldn't be any buttons pressed, although that could be the case in a briefcase.

I'm baffled by this, especially since there are no search results on this topic in Google.  Anyone else seeing this?

iPhone 4S, Windows XP

    Hi Lost Shaker 2,

     

    Thanks for checking out the Apple Support Communities! I understand your iPad Pro is making a beeping noise and doesn't stop unless you disconnect your Smart Keyboard. I use my iPad Pro everyday and having mine beep like that would drive me crazy so I'm happy to provide some direction.

     

    The first thing that I recommend is making sure that your iPad is up to date. 

    Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

    Since you mentioned having to disconnect and re-connect your Smart Keyboard, if there is an update available for that, it should pop up automatically when you re-connect it. 

     

    I also recommend to take a look through your Notification Settings and turn off anything that's not necessary and check that everything else is set up as you prefer. If you use the Messages app on your iPad, you may want to check that the setting for Repeat Notification is turned off for it as that could be causing it to beep more than once. That will be in Settings > Notifications > Messages > Repeat Alerts.

    Use Notifications on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

     

    Cheers!
