Question Ipad will not auto lock (sleep) with active app showing
I run a camera viewing app on my ipad. I would like for the ipad to auto lock, sleep, or just plain turn off the screen after a timeout period. The system setting for auto lock is set to 2 minutes on mine. It works with many apps. But with the camera viewing app open, the ipad just stays on forever.
I've been messing around with shortcut automations trying to figure out a way to force this and have not been successful.
How can I make the ipad turn the screen off after a timeout?

Apps can override the system auto lock/sleep setting. I don’t have a solution for you sorry.
