It is true that the iPad has become such a phenomenal device right now. What differentiates iPad from other devices is that you cannot expect so many buttons on it. Yes, almost all activities are done through its screen. However, you can still make your work with iPad easier only by following the easy tricks below.
Basically, the iPad runs the same mobile OS as the iPhone, so the tricks given here are applicable for both devices. First off, since there is no dedicated mute button on the iPad, you can hold the “Volume down” button and the sound will be muted at once. Second trick: extra applications can be added to your tray by simply pressing and holding any icon you see on the Home Screen and waiting until the icons start to wobble. Next, drag two more applications to the Dock.
The on-screen buttons on your iPad can also be redefined in General > Home. Moreover, you can save more time by bringing up Spotlight search. Sometimes typing text can be so time-consuming, especially when you are about to type longer text. This takes time especially when your iPad is trying to guess the word you are typing, so you can make it stop guessing by stopping your work and tapping the space bar.
Caps lock is necessary sometimes when you need to type capital letters via the on-screen keyboard. Basically, to type a capital letter, you should first tap the left or right shift key, then go back and tap the letter. This can be desperately slow especially when you need to type all letters in capitals. All you need to do is give a double tap on either shift key and then type the letter as normal.
It is great that you can use this iPhone mobile OS device to read books. When you need to read e-books in portrait mode, the iPad will be able to do that. Another attractive feature this device brings is the option for password protection. To set this password, navigate to Settings > General > Restrictions and press Enable Restriction and define your password, then turn the restriction on.
