Oprah herself has said the iPad is one of the top inventions of recent years. If you are new to the iPad, you might not know what it is capable of and how to use its features. Thankfully, this article will go over some tips to maximize your iPad experience.
You can now use folders on the iOS iPad. To utilize this feature, tap the app you want to until it begins to shake, then drag it where you want to drop it. Doing so creates a folder containing both of these apps. You can easily rename this folder.
If you’ve ever been interrupted by your iPad at a bad time you likely want to know how to silence it quickly. Muting your volume is as simple as pressing and holding the volume button down. The lock button can be turned into a mute button as well.
The iPad lets you see 2 lines of an email before viewing it in full. This way you can screen your emails. To do this, go to Settings>Mail. Go to Mail, Contacts, and Calendar to adjust Preview Mail Options to add more lines.
It can be really annoying to have your iPad chime every time you receive an email. You can get rid of this feature, if you find it annoying. Under the Settings menu, choose “General”. Tap Sounds. This will allow you to adjust or turn off any notifications.
Shortcuts make sending messages much faster. For instance, if you tap your space bar two times when you’re typing a sentence, both a space and a period will be added at the end of your sentence. Doing this means you no longer need to do it manually every time.
It’s essential that you take good care of your iPad. Don’t keep it inside a locked car and make sure it’s not in direct sunlight. The heat will damage the battery. Also, keep your iPad away from liquids. Lastly, a protective cover is a great idea to keep your iPad safe from drops and bumps.
If you need to mute an iPad, try this simple trick. Simply hold down the ‘volume down’ button for two seconds. You can pull this off faster than trying to fumble with the volume button each time you want to mute. If you want to readjust it, press it down once more.
Create FaceTime phone contacts, as well as emails. The iPad, by default, includes the initial email you used for installation, but it is possible to add others. Just add them in the Settings app.
Running Apps
You can access your running apps more quickly and easily. Just double-tap the home button, and your running apps will instantly appear on the bottom of your screen. When you use this trick, you’ll save time as compared to scrolling screen-to-screen.
You should now know more than you did about using your Apple iPad. To take advantage of everything the iPad has to offer, use the advice provided in this article. Make sure that you find out as much as you can so that your investment in this fantastic device is worth it!
