If you've noticed your iPad nodding off unexpectedly after updating to iOS 12.0, don't fret, there's a simple fix for this common issue that many users have encountered. Understanding why your device is going to sleep more frequently can help you quickly resolve the problem and get back to enjoying your iPad experience without interruptions.
One of the key features of the iOS 12.0 update is the improved performance and enhanced power management capabilities designed to optimize the battery life of your iPad. With these changes, your iPad may be more aggressive in trying to conserve power by automatically going to sleep sooner than you might expect.
To adjust the auto-lock settings on your iPad running iOS 12.0, you can follow these simple steps:
1. Open Settings on your iPad.
2. Tap on Display & Brightness.
3. Look for the Auto-Lock option, usually found near the top of the screen.
4. Select a longer duration before your iPad goes to sleep, such as 5 minutes, 10 minutes, or even never if you prefer your iPad not to sleep automatically.
5. Close the Settings app, and your new auto-lock settings will take effect.
By changing the auto-lock setting to a longer duration, you can prevent your iPad from going to sleep too quickly after the iOS 12.0 update. This customization allows you to strike a balance between maximizing your device's battery life and ensuring that it remains active for as long as you need it to.
Another useful tip to address the issue of iPads going to sleep unexpectedly after the iOS 12.0 update is to check for any running apps or background processes that might be causing your device to engage its sleep mode. Sometimes, certain apps can trigger the auto-lock feature if they are not optimized for the latest operating system version.
To check for and close any apps running in the background on your iPad, you can double-click the Home button or use the swipe-up gesture from the bottom of the screen to access the App Switcher. From there, swipe up on any app previews to close them and free up resources on your device.
Keeping your iPad up to date with the latest software updates from Apple, including subsequent versions of iOS 12, can also help address any underlying issues that may be causing your device to go to sleep unexpectedly.
By following these straightforward steps and suggestions, you can ensure that your iPad stays awake and responsive after the iOS 12.0 update, allowing you to make the most of your Apple device without interruptions.
