I gathered some tips and tricks that many people might not know about unless by accident.

How to move applications or delete applications, most people should know already right? smile.gif


Keyboard

Insert an apostrophe - swipe up on the comma key.

Insert a double quotation mark - swipe up on the period key.

Insert an ellipsis - hold down the period key (ellipsis is "...").

Insert an underscore or bullet - hold down the hyphen key.

Insert other currency symbols - hold down the dollar key, then drag to select.

Insert other URL domains - hold down the period key or the ".com" key, then drag to select.

Insert one symbol and go back to ABC keyboard - hold down the "123" button, drag to the symbol you want, then release.

Insert an accented letter - hold down the letter that requires the accent, then drag to select.

End of sentence - double tap the space bar to get a period and a space.

Navigation

Scroll to top - tap the status bar (the one with the time); does not work for all apps.

Text

Select a word - double tap the word.

Select a whole paragraph - tap the paragraph four times.

Sound

Quick mute - press and hold the volume down button for two seconds.

Applications

Create application folder - hold down an application until it wiggles, then drag it onto another application; you can name the folder

Close running applications - double-click home button, hold down the application you want to close, tap the minus icon.

Force quit an application - hold down the home button for a few seconds.

Others

Take a screenshot of iPad - press the power button and the home button.

Soft reset - hold down both the power button and the home button for a few seconds.


Any other tips? Please share biggrin.gif
