    Can Lock PDFs, but Not Remove the Lock

    I just went through and locked several PDFs stored in iCloud via the Files app. I attempted to remove a lock using the same method and there doesn’t seem to be a way to unlock them. ??‍♂️ I hope this feature is forthcoming.

    iPad auto lock/unlock

    Hello, My company is using an iPad as a visitor check-in/out kiosk. I would like to be able to set the iPad to unlock/wake at a certain time in the morning, and then lock/sleep again in the evening. Is there a way to do this (1st or 3rd party), that doesn't require jailbreaking? Thanks!
