You can lock your iPad without using the physical button by using AssistiveTouch. This accessibility feature allows you to access various controls and functions on your iPad using the screen.
Here's how to enable and use AssistiveTouch to lock your iPad:
- Go to Settings: Open the Settings app on your iPad.
- Find Accessibility: Scroll down and tap on "Accessibility."
- Enable AssistiveTouch: In the Accessibility menu, find "Touch" and tap on "AssistiveTouch." Toggle the switch to turn it on.
- Use the AssistiveTouch Menu: A small transparent circle with a white dot will appear on your screen. Tap on it to open the AssistiveTouch menu.
- Lock Your iPad: In the menu, find the "Device" option. Tap on it and select "Lock Screen." Your iPad will lock immediately.
This method is particularly useful if your physical button is malfunctioning or if you find it difficult to press the button.
