iPad tips

THEcontrol centre (or center is how your iPad will prefer it to be spelt) can be very useful for quick access to settings. But how you open it will depend on your iPad model. If you have a newer iPad you can open it by swiping down from the top right corner of your screen or by swiping up from the bottom of your screen (right above the home button).

On occasions, it is quite useful to be able to take a snapshot (or screenshot) of what is on your iPad at the time – but how to take a screenshot will depend on whether your iPad has a home button or not.

To take a screenshot with an iPad with no home button, you need to press the top button and either of the volume buttons simultaneously and then quickly release both buttons.

You'll know you took the screenshot because you'll feel a vibration response, and a small thumbnail will temporarily appear in the bottom left side of your screen.

But if your iPad does have a home button, press the top button and the home button simultaneously and then quickly release both buttons. Again, you'll know you took the screenshot because you'll see a small thumbnail in the bottom left side of your screen. Add apps to the iPad’s dock Your iPad, just like a Mac or Windows PC, has a dock near the bottom of the screen. The dock will have any app you want on the left and the last apps you opened on the right.

You can quickly add or remove apps from the iPad’s dock by doing the following:

Press and hold your home screen until the apps start to wiggle, then drag the app you want to the dock and put it wherever you want. To remove it, drag the app out of the dock and drop it on your Home Screen. Then just tap your home screen to make the apps stop wiggling.

As you might expect, the search feature lets you search your iPad. To use search, all you need to do is swipe down from the top of your home screen. A search bar will pop up near the middle of your screen, and you can try searching for whatever you want.

You can instantly add your favourite apps and widgets to your home screen. All you need to do is press and hold your home screen until the apps start to jiggle. You can drag and drop any app from your app library to your home screen.

To remove an app from your home screen, you can tap the minus button in the top right side of the app and then tap remove app. You can then choose to delete app or remove from home screen.

To add widgets, you can tap the plus button in the top left side of your screen. Choose the widget you want, and then drag it to wherever you want it. And while they are wiggling, you can drag and drop them to another location if you wish.
