Guided Access disable screen sleep

We have 9 ipads that we use on our production floor, we keep them in guided access because lets face it, we don't want them messing around instead of working. Mid last week, I took them down because we were doing inventory and I updated all of them to IOS 12, and when I came in yesterday morning, I noticed that the screens were turned off. Guided Access should not put the screens to sleep, but they are. Is there a way to prevent the screens from going to sleep?

iOS 12

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
