Hi Karen, Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I don’t think that setting is present in iPadOS. I looked for it, and googled it, but no luck. So I suspect Brad, ET and Rajiv are right. While I understand the logic of the current setup, I do wish Apple would allow users to configure it. Especially on an iPad, it doesn’t seem that implausible that an iPad might sit dormant for more than 24 hours. I’d like to be Able to extend it to a week or two. Cheers, Donna
