Read These Clever Tips For Using Your Ipad

By Abbey Deromer


The iPad is so new that it can be hard to know all it does. Don't let it just become an app and gaming machine. Your iPad is capable of so much. Read on to learn more about what your iPad can do.

If you love to utilize your iPad for media, your battery life can deplete fast. If you alter the screen brightness, your battery can last longer. You'll likely notice that maximum brightness is not necessary to use your iPad.

You can easily see what apps are running on your iPad. Many of the apps the iPad runs are able to stay in the background when you're doing other things. If you would like to view the current apps that are running, double click the Home icon. This will show you the current apps at the bottom. Swipe your finger in a downward motion to close the window.

If you are irritated by repeated request to join other Wi-Fi networks, get into your settings menu and change it. Look for the option which gives you the choice of joining networks. Choose that and this will no longer pop up.

A lot of people find it hard to type on tablets, but it gets easier the more you do it. Alternately, you can use the speech dictation feature of iPad. Hit the home button before tapping on the small microphone. After you finish dictating, tap the microphone icon again, and you will see the text version of your dictation.

You can change the default search engine to something besides Google if you wish. In the Settings menu, pick Safari, then Search Engine. You have the choice of switching the search engine to something more user-friendly if you would like.

You will find that iPads now have an easy way to be muted. As you might know, previous iPad versions did not have this capability. Previously, you could use the lock switch to either mute the audio or lock the orientation. Now, you can quickly mute your iPad by holding the "down" half of the volume button.

Set up phone numbers and emails for FaceTime. It defaults to the email you used when you set up the iPad. If you have more than one email or number, the settings section is where you want to go.

Isn't it irritating when you encounter a hyperlink on your iPad, and you are unable to determine where it will take you? Here's an easy tip to solve this problem. Since hovering over a word isn't possible, you'll need to press and hold the hyperlinked word. That will show you the URL from the hyperlink.

The iPad is great for music, but are you aware of podcasts? Podcasts are short radio programs that can last anywhere from a few minute to a few hours, and are available on pretty much every imaginable topic. If music is something you have had enough of lately, give some podcasts a try. It is almost inevitable that you will find something that you like.

What you've read makes the iPad truly appealing. You'll find that they improve everything you do daily on your iPad. Keep this article handy for future reference.
