Hello everyone! I have a question. I have the auto-lock setting on my iPad mini at 2 minutes, but the screen still dims after 30 seconds and locks after +5 seconds. I know that on devices with Face ID it's called "awareness feature" so if you don't look at the screen, it locks sooner than the settings, but the iPad mini don't have that feature. Can someone explain it or have the same "problem"?
Got a tip for us?

Sounds like iPadOS thinks it's in Low Power mode.
First, ensure you're on iPadOS 17.5.1.
Then go to Settings > Battery, turn Low Power Mode on & back off (to re-write the preferences). See if that cures it.

I dont think so. I got the iPad mini 2 weeks ago and I did a fresh DFU reset on 17.5.1. I never turned the low power mode on.
Ok, I tried it I even set the auto-lock to 5 min and back to 2 min sadly same result. :/Yeah, that makes it more likely it'll fix it IMOGive it a shot.
