Six Top Secret Tips from the Author
- Trying to get through a bunch of email quickly? Archive or delete unimportant messages quickly by swiping on their subject-line in the Mail app. Need to make room for new stuff? The swipe-to-delete gesture works in several other apps like Videos and iBooks, too.
- Browsing Safari when a bad song comes on? Double-click the home button, swipe the icons to the right, and press fast- forward in the Music controls. (You can even get these Music controls while your iPad is locked!)
- Reading an article in Safari? Double-tap a column of text to zoom into it perfectly. Once you’re finished, jump back to the top of the page by tapping the very top of the iPad’s screen (the status bar).
- Shake your iPad to undo a cut, paste, or even a bit of typing. Just be gentle!
- Want to type quickly, like you do on your iPhone? Just pull the virtual keyboard apart with your two thumbs. You can also push the Split keyboard back together when you’re done.
- Need to switch apps quickly? Swipe across the screen with four fingers, left or right.
