Wonderful Things You Can Do On Your Ipad

By Johnny McDaniels


The iPad has been presented as the greatest innovation of the last few years. If it is new for you, you may feel a bit overwhelmed. In this article we will provide some valuable information that can help you to feel informed about your new gadget, in order to maximize its use.

Did you know that you can create folders on your iPad? Just drag on app onto another one to create a folder. Doing so creates a folder containing both of these apps. You can rename the folder whatever you want.

It is possible to gain access to all apps that are currently running on your iPad. Just hit the Home button twice and a list will show up on the screen. Tapping on an app in this bar will allow you to easily switch focus to that particular app. Swipe downward on the screen to make the bar disappear.

The current applications should be something that you pay attention to at all times. Lots of iPad applications can work in the background as you complete other tasks. If you want to see what else is running on your iPad, just double-click the Home button. A bar shows up near the bottom of the screen that will list currently active apps. To eliminate this feature, simply swipe down and you will be back to the normal setting.

In your inbox, you may want to see more than the first few lines. In the mail section, you can adjust this with the preview setting. Changes this setting to display up to five lines. By using the five lines option, you can quickly skim your emails.

It is possible to easily change the default search engine from Google to your preferred search engine on your iPad. Simply navigate to Settings, Safari, and then Search Engine. From here, you can change your search engine preference to Yahoo, Bing, etc. if you wish.

Some people take time to adjust to typing on an iPad. A simple way to enter text is to use the speech dictation function. Tap the home button two times and tap the microphone icon on the screen that appears. Once you've finished with your message, tap the icon once more to have your words converted into text.

You can easily take screenshots while using your iPad. You just have to hit the sleep and home buttons together. You will then find the photo in your normal photo album.

You probably already use your iPad for music, but have you used it for podcasts? A podcast is similar to a radio program. There are many topics available. If your radio stations aren't playing any good music, then try some podcasts. No matter what your interests are, you can bet there is someone making a podcast to suit you.

Shortcuts make it far easier for you to send messages. For instance, hitting your space bar two times as you type automatically inserts a period and a space. That way, it will not be necessary to do it manually, and you will have additional time to transmit messages to people you know.

iPads can be incredibly easy to use. However, you will get much more out of your iPad if you learn more about it. Starting with this article, use what you learn to make the iPad even better. Using the iPad correctly will give you a multi-functional device.
