iPadOS Tips and Tricks: Gestures, Home Screen Tweaks, Keyboard Options, and More

 Launched last week, iPadOS provides nearly all the same features as iOS 13, but there are also a few new features designed specifically for the bigger screen, which is why Apple has split iOS and iPadOS into different updates.

iPadOS Tips and Tricks

  • Quick Screenshots  - You can grab a screenshot that opens right in the Markup so that you can start editing and annotating it instantly if you swipe up with the Apple Pencil on the iPad's monitor.
  • Floating Keyboard - On the iPad, there is a new floating keyboard, which can be located anywhere. To get to it, click on the keyboard before the keyboard icon shrinks or long clicks to pull up the "floating" option and then press it. It's a small version of a keyboard that can be positioned on the computer anywhere, great for one-handed use.
  • QuickPath Keyboard -Both iPadOS and iOS 13 have a new native swipe-based keyboard, which the QuickPath keyboard is named by Apple. Rather than typing, to spell a phrase, swipe your fingers between letters. Hate this one? In the Settings app, you can turn it off or just continue using a tap to type, which hasn't gone anywhere.
  • Overhauled Home Screen -On the home screen of the iPad, you can fit more icons, and while the iPad is in landscape mode, the Today View widget can now be permanently placed on the home screen. When you have installed iPadOS, swipe to the right and select "Add to Home Screen." After installing iPadOS, swipe to the right and select "Add to Home Screen." You can also access the Edit widget interface option, and if you pin favourites, those widgets will always be displayed first. 
  • Selecting Text - In iOS and iPadOS 13, there are some new gestures, but most of these are the most effective on a larger iPad screen. Simply move your finger over the text to pick the text you want to select. To select a single word, use a double tap, a triple tap to select a sentence, and a quadruple tap to select a paragraph.
  • Scroll Bar Updates - Grab the scroll bar with a finger to scroll faster than you can with a swipe and drag it up or down to get where you want to go on the screen.
  • Moving Cursor - It is simpler than ever to move the mouse. Paste a finger on it and drag it anywhere you want a note or text to go..
  • Cut, Copy and Paste -There are modern iPadOS gestures for copying and pasting. Pinch three fingers inwards until you see the copy button, pinch three fingers outwards to print, and use the copy gesture two times in a row to cut. 
  • Undo/Redo - When you're typing something up, you can use a three finger swipe to the left to undo and a three finger swipe to the right to redo.
  • Multi-Item Select - To select multiple items, such as items in a list, multiple messages, emails, and more, tap and hold with two fingers and then drag downwards.
  • Slide Over Improvements -You can now drag apps on the left or right side of the device to Slide Over, and you can open several Slide Over apps. Swap with a swipe between them and swipe up and hold to get to an interface where you can see all your Slide Over apps that are open and close the ones you don't need.
  • Multiple Windows -Now in multitasking mode, you can use two windows of the same software side by side, so you can have two Safari web pages open or work on two pages of documents at once. .
  • Multitasking Notifications -There is also a cool feature that allows you to move an incoming notification into a window in Split View. Only drag it over to one side of the device to open it in Split View when you get a notification from an app like Messages.
  • App Exposé - In Slide Over or Split View, an App Exposé feature shows you all of the open windows you have for a particular app. To use it, hold down the dock icon and you'll see all of the windows that are open. You can also click the app icon on the home screen for a long time and pick "Display All Windows."
  • Mouse Support -IPadOS allows you to use a mouse with your iPad, but it's not a main feature — it's an option for usability. If you want to try it out, use the Bluetooth settings to pair a Bluetooth mouse with your iPad and then open the Accessibility settings, select Touch, and allow Assistive Touch.

Night Mode on iPhone: Everything You Need to Know

Image
The newest iPhones from Apple, iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max, are fitted with a new feature called Night mode, designed to take crisp, clear pictures even if lighting conditions, such as at night, are low.   Unfortunately, Night mode is not supported on the   iPhone SE   or   iPhone XR . It remains an exclusive feature for the ‌iPhone 11‌ line of phones. As the name suggests, Night mode allows you to take pictures at night, with lighting that has never been possible on an iPhone before, thanks to new hardware and new machine learning algorithms. Although Night Mode brightens photos, it also preserves the feeling of night time, balancing an image's light and dark elements. For a while now, Android smartphone manufacturers such as Google and Samsung have had unique modes to brighten up evening shots, and Apple is on equal footing with these other smartphone cameras with the 2019 iPhones. What is Night Mode? Night mode is an automatic setting that take...

Best 2021 Xbox controllers: Get the advantage of these third-party and official pads with these

Image
  (Pocket-lint) - The Xbox controller has a pretty remarkable lineage already - following the very unusual design embraced by the original console's chunky gamepad, the Xbox 360 introduced a new type that's stood the test of time. It has been updated only marginally over the Xbox One years, and for the Xbox Series X and S as well, it has remained very similar. That's a testament to a great deal of architecture, but it also has some limitations. Picking up a new controller might be a game-changer, because it's not quite the right shape for you, or whether you want some extra buttons and features.
