Guided Access disable screen sleep

I was having the same issue and figured it out. Apologies if someone already mentioned this above.

Go go into settings -> General -> Accessability -> Guided Access -> Mirror Display Auto-Lock

Toggle that on and you’re good to go. No more sleeping in guided access mode.

I faced this problem too, and fixed.

Step 1. Got to Setting -> Display & Brightness

Step 2. Click on Auto Lock and Select NEVER

Step 3. Got to Setting -> General -> Accessibility -> Guided Access

Step 4. Turn ON Accessibility Shortcut. (This will Mirror your Display Setting in Guided Mode)

Now Start the Guided Mode and your Screen will not be Off.

If you’re using iOS version 12.1.1 or above, you will want to turn on the Mirror Display Auto-Lock

• Under Guided Access, turn on Mirror Display Auto-Lock.
  • When this is on, Guided Access will mirror the Auto-Lock setting in Display & Brightness. When off, Guided Access will turn off the screen after 20 minutes of inactivity.

I think I may have found the solution.

Go to settings > General > Accessibility > Guided Access

Once there at the bottom there is a mirror display auto lock. Make sure that is on. I was struggling with this and just found this setting.

Hope this helps,

Nik

You are mistaken the "Never" is set but it still will sleep the screen if it is on Guided access mode

Did this ever get fixed? i have the same problem Apple support said they are working on fixing it but 2 updates later no fix. does anyone here or at apple have an answer. I use Ipads for staff to clock in and the home button is not accessible they are in guided access and in a security cage. Apple please fix this or let us downgrade to 11 it still work on that IOS..

Yes, the screen display works properly now with the setting above.

HOWEVER, the Wi-Fi still shuts off after 20 minutes. This is an issue when running a web page that refreshes with new data. Is there a setting to fix this? Wi-Fi stays on all the time if Guided Access is OFF. But 20 minutes after I turn ON Guided Access, Wi-Fi shuts off if no interaction with the device.

Did anyone run into this issue related to Guided Access?

Have you checked out the iPad as a kiosk app called "Kiosks" that enables any website to serve as a kiosk as well as enable swipe directly to the website form fields? check it it out:

I'm having the same trouble as nrathbun. I have an app I run in Guided Access in a public space and I want to keep the screen from sleeping. I checked all the settings for Display & Brightness, adjusted settings in Screen Time, even turning it on and off with the same result. I also tested on a different model of iPad running iOS 12. After checking this forum I reinstalled the operating system as per becky_s22's suggestion and still have the same result, the screen sleeps after 10-15 minutes but does not lock the iPad as a home button press wakes the screen and I'm still in the app in guided access mode. This appears to be an issue with iOS 12 as I have other iPads running iOS 11 in guided access with no problems. Any information/suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Greetings, nrathbun.

I see that you've set up your company's iPad devices using Guided Access. The problem is, after updating them to iOS 12, the lock screen had been engaged after you left them on overnight, and you'd like for this to stop. I'm happy to help.

Adjust the brightness on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch -- Go to Settings > Display & Brightness > Auto-lock, and set that to "Never".

Take care!

Thanks for getting back to us, nrathbun. It's appreciated. I'd like for you to select one of the iPad devices to reinstall the operating system.

It looks like ios update: 12.1.3 took care of my wi-fi issue now too. Terrific! Now hopefully Apple doesn't break it again.

looks like it fixed the problem. thanks

Wifi will work fine with this setting.
