To stop your iPad screen from turning off automatically, you need to adjust the Auto-Lock setting to 'Never'.
Adjusting the Auto-Lock Setting
The Auto-Lock feature on your iPad determines how long the screen stays on when it's not actively being used. By default, this is set to a few minutes to conserve battery power. However, you can easily change this setting if you prefer the screen to remain on constantly.
Follow these simple steps to prevent your iPad screen from turning off:
- Open the Settings app on your iPad.
- Scroll down and tap on Display & Brightness.
- Under the "Display & Brightness" settings, find and tap on Auto-Lock.
- On the "Auto-Lock" screen, you will see a list of time options (e.g., 2 Minutes, 5 Minutes, 10 Minutes, 15 Minutes).
- Select the Never option from the list.
Reference Note: To prevent your iPad from ever going to sleep, go to Settings > Display & Brightness > Auto-Lock > and change it to Never.
Quick Path to Stop Screen Turn-Off
| Step | Action | Menu Option |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Open Settings | Settings |
| 2 | Navigate to Display | Display & Brightness |
| 3 | Select Auto-Lock | Auto-Lock |
| 4 | Choose duration | Never |
Setting Auto-Lock to Never means your iPad screen will not automatically turn off or go to sleep unless you manually press the power button.
Important Consideration: While setting Auto-Lock to Never keeps your screen on, it will significantly increase battery consumption. Ensure your iPad is plugged into a power source or be mindful of the battery drain when using this setting for extended periods.
