How to turn on Lock Screen features on iPad

You can make some commonly used features, such as Control Center, widgets, and media playback controls, available on the Lock Screen for easy access when iPad is locked. Turning off Lock Screen access to a feature helps keep your personal information private, though you also lose quick access to it yourself.

1. Open Settings. Then depending on your model, tap one of the following:
   • Face ID & Passcode
   • Touch ID & Passcode
   • Passcode
2. Turn on options below Allow Access When Locked.

Someone who has your iPad can’t view any personal information a feature might contain, like an upcoming event in the Calendar widget, if you turn off Lock Screen access to it. You lose quick access to the information yourself, too.
