I’m unsure if this effects iPadOS 26.0 as I have just pushed out iPadOS 26.0.1 to devices this week.  We have a Single App Mode profile for TD Snap (though app doesn’t really matter).  After the device is rebooted it looks like on the home screen you can’t unlock the device.

Swiping up just shows “No older notifications” but does not unlock the phone and take it to the Single App locked mode to TD Snap.

Has anyone else experienced this?

This iPad is on iPadOS 26.0.1.  Didn’t have this issue prior to the update.

Tested further.

Took 2 11th gen iPads I had.  One left on iPadOS 18.4.1.  The other upgraded to iPadOS 26.0.1.  Put in Single App Mode on both.  No issue unlocking on iPadOS 18.4.1.  Could not unlock on iPadOS 26.0.1.  Tested with different apps in Single App Mode (so not application specific).

I’m continuing to test further, but it seems something may be up with Single App Mode on iPadOS 26.0.1.  Just wondering if anyone else has run into a similar issue with it?

Issue also happens with iPadOS 26.0.  Proceeding to test with iPadOS 26.1 beta.

Tested with iPadOS 26.1 beta and the issue does not occur with that.  After clicking power button and again to get to lock screen it just take you right back into the app and you don’t see the lock screen.
