The iPad performs many functions which can appeal to different people that have different needs. In this article, you’ll find some tricks to improve your experience.
Your battery won’t last long if you’re using the iPad a lot. Adjust the brightness of your screen if you would like to extend the battery’s life. It is unlikely that the brightest settings are needed to achieve a good picture.
The latest operating system for the iPad supports folders. To create a folder, move an app and put it on top one. This creates a folder with both apps inside. If you don’t like the label, you can rename the folder.
Should your iPad freeze, you can reboot it by performing a soft reset. Press the power and the home buttons together for a few seconds. Wait for your iPad to reboot. If you want to kill a running process, hold the main button for around 5 seconds.
Keep track of the apps your are running. A lot of iPad apps are designed to run as background processes. Double-click Home to see what’s currently running. This will show you the current apps at the bottom. Swipe your finger in a downward motion to close the window.
Did you accidentally launch an app that makes a lot of noise? Mute your iPad by pushing the volume button down for a few seconds. If you are using iOS 4.3 or later, it is possible to make the toggle switch near the volume control mute your iPad.
