Do you like to game? Are you currently attending school? Do you have a hard job? Trying to shed some pounds? Having children? Did you know the iPad can help you with all of that and more? Everything has an app, but your iPad has uses that go way beyond apps. This article will discuss some of the great benefits of owning an iPad.

There is a way that you can check all the running applications that you have at a given time. Simply double-click the Home button. A bar near the bottom of the screen will indicate which apps are in use. You can easily switch to a running app, by just tapping on it in the bar. Swipe downwards to hide the bar again.

You can change alert notifications that you get for Wi-Fi networks with ease. There is a selection in the Settings menu to disable Wi-Fi messages. Choose that and you won’t be bothered with incoming invites.

Many people find it difficult to type on tablets, but it gets easier with time. There is a speech dictation function on your iPad. Simply push home twice and a small microphone will pop up. Dictate your text and click the icon a second time when you are finished.

You view two lines by default when you see new emails. It is helpful sometimes to get a preview of the email contact. Go to ‘mail’ under ‘settings’. Select Contacts under Mail, then select Calendar to alter the options for additional lines in Preview mail.

And now you are in possession of a solid foundation to use as a springboard to future enjoyment of your iPad. Your iPad can be used for a number of things, like figuring out the weather or doing your banking. It will become attached to your hip, and you’ll find it replaces other devices that you’re using.
