Do you find your iPad screen turning off too quickly? Want to keep it on for longer periods of time? Well, you’re in luck!
In this article, we’ll show you how to adjust your iPad’s settings to extend the screen timeout. By following these simple steps, you’ll be able to enjoy uninterrupted screen time on your iPad.
So, let’s get started and keep that screen on longer!
Accessing iPad Settings
To access your iPad settings, start by tapping on the ‘Settings’ app icon on your home screen. Once you tap on the icon, the settings menu will open up, giving you access to a wide range of customization options for your iPad.
From here, you can adjust various settings such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Display & Brightness, Sounds, and much more. You can also manage your notifications, privacy settings, and general preferences.
Additionally, you can access settings specific to individual apps installed on your iPad. For example, you can control the permissions granted to each app, manage your Apple ID settings, and even set up parental controls.
Note: Please check Touch ID is activated for the lock screen, and then you can see only on default settings “Immediately”.
However, if you select “Never”, the display will remain “On” until or unless you turn it off by pressing the lock/power button, using the virtual lock button via Accessibility, or the battery drains out.
The settings menu is a powerful tool that allows you to personalize and optimize your iPad experience according to your preferences.
Navigating to Display & Brightness Settings

Open the Settings app on your iPad to access the Display & Brightness settings. To begin, locate the Settings icon on your home screen, which looks like a gray gear. Tap on it to open the app.
Once you’re inside the Settings app, you’ll see a list of different options. Scroll down until you find the option labeled ‘Display & Brightness.’ It should be towards the top of the list. Tap on it to open the Display & Brightness settings.
Fortunately, this isn’t an issue with the LCD screens currently used in iPads.
Enjoy Your Always-On iPad Display Regardless of what you may be using your iPad for, it’s easy to turn off the Auto-Lock feature in the Settings app.
Here, you can adjust various settings related to your iPad’s display, such as the brightness level, text size, and screen timeout duration. Feel free to explore these settings and customize them to your liking.
Adjusting Auto-Lock Settings:
To adjust the auto-lock settings, you can easily change how long your iPad screen stays on before it automatically locks. This is useful if you want to keep your iPad screen on for a longer period of time without having to constantly unlock it.
To do this, go to the ‘Settings’ app on your iPad. From there, tap on ‘Display & Brightness’ and then select ‘Auto-Lock.’ You’ll see a list of options ranging from 30 seconds to Never. Simply choose the desired time interval that suits your preference. Keep in mind that setting it to Never will keep your screen on indefinitely, which may drain your battery faster.
The iPad goes into sleep mode after two minutes of inactivity by default to conserve battery power, but you may prefer a longer period of inactivity.
Once you have made your selection, your iPad screen will stay on for the chosen duration before it locks automatically.
Choosing a Longer Auto-Lock Time:
To choose a longer auto-lock time on your iPad, simply adjust the settings in the ‘Display & Brightness’ section of the ‘Settings’ app.
This option allows you to control how long your iPad’s screen stays on when it isn’t in use.
To begin, open the ‘Settings’ app on your iPad. Then, tap on ‘Display & Brightness’ from the list of options.
Next, you’ll see the ‘Auto-Lock’ section. By default, the auto-lock time is set to 2 minutes. To choose a longer time, tap on the desired option, such as ‘5 minutes’ or ‘Never’.
If you disable Auto-Lock to get rid of your automatic screen lock time, it will cut into your battery life.
You can quickly increase the default screen time-out, or even stop it from automatically locking altogether, with a brief visit to the auto-lock options screen in iOS and iPad OS.
You may have reasons to keep your iPad or iPhone on for an extended period of time.
Keep in mind that choosing a longer auto-lock time may impact your iPad’s battery life, so it’s important to find a balance that suits your needs.
Verifying Changes and Saving Settings:
To verify and save your changes, you can simply navigate back to the ‘Settings’ menu on your iPad.
Once you have made the desired adjustments to the auto-lock time, it’s important to confirm that the changes have been applied correctly.
To do this, tap on the ‘Settings’ app icon on your home screen. Scroll down and select ‘Display & Brightness’ from the list of options.
Next, locate the ‘Auto-Lock’ setting and ensure that the new time you selected is displayed.
If the changes are correct, you can exit the ‘Settings’ menu by pressing the home button or swiping up from the bottom of the screen.
On older CRT and modern AMOLED displays, screen burn-in can be a problem, leaving a shadow of sorts from the menus of apps that are frequently used.
Your iPad will now keep the screen on for the specified duration before automatically locking itself.
