      16 Decide whether or not to share your analytic data with developers.In Step 11, you chose whether or not to share analytics data with Apple. Now you’re asked if you want to share analytics with developers. If you agree to share with developers, you’re not just trusting Apple; you’re trusting all those developers, too. When we set up our devices, we often skip this permission.

      17 Tap Continue.Your iPad cycles through a series of screens highlighting new features of iPadOS specific to your iPad model.

      18 Tap Get Started.You are taken to the Home screen! That’s it! You’re now ready to use your iPad.

      

If you ever need to restore your iPad to factory condition, follow the preceding steps to set it up again.

SECURITY USING YOUR FINGER OR YOUR FACE

      Every iPad covered in this book is equipped with either Touch ID, a fingerprint scanner cleverly embedded in the Home button, or Face ID.

      With Touch ID and a gentle press of any designated finger, you bypass your passcode. (Setting up passcode safeguards is a good idea, and is something we touch on in the chapter on settings, Chapter 15.)

      What’s more, you can use your own digit (not the numerical kind) to authenticate iTunes and App Store purchases, and to access your iCloud Keychain passwords or even third-party password keepers. (Go to Settings ⇒ Touch ID & Passcode and make sure that the iTunes & App Store switch is turned on.) You can also use Touch ID to authorize Apple Pay purchases on the web (but not in bricks-and-mortar retail stores).

      Face ID is much like Touch ID in terms of how you use it, but instead of touching your finger to a fingerprint sensor you look into your camera. The camera has a special Face ID sensor that uses infrared and other camera data to carefully and securely measure your face. As of this writing, only recent iPad Pro models come with Face ID. We’ve been using it on iPhone and iPad Pro for years, and we love it.

Locking the iPad

      We can think of several sound reasons for locking your iPad:

       You don’t want to turn it on inadvertently.

       You want to keep prying eyes at bay.

       You have a persistently inquisitive child.

       You want to spare the battery some juice.

      Apple makes locking the iPad a cinch.

      

You don’t need to do anything to lock the iPad; it happens automatically as long as you don’t touch the screen for a minute or two. As you find out in Chapter 15, which is all about settings, you can also set the amount of time your iPad must be idle before it automatically locks.

      Can’t wait? To lock the iPad immediately, press the sleep/wake button.

      

If you have an iPad with a Smart Cover (or a third-party equivalent), opening and closing the cover locks and unlocks your iPad, but the Smart Cover has the advantage of awakening your iPad without making you tap the Home button (though you may still have to enter a passcode).

      Unlocking the iPad is easy, too. Here’s how:

      1 Press the sleep/wake button, or press the Home button on the front of the screen.

      2 Do one of the following:If you have Touch ID, use one of your registered fingers to press the Home button to unlock the iPad and go to your Home screen.If you have Face ID, just look at the camera.If you don't have Touch ID or Face ID, or your iPad was just restarted, press Home with another finger and enter your passcode.See Chapter 15 to find out how to password-protect your iPad.

Mastering the Multitouch Interface

      The iPad, like the iPhone, dispenses with a physical mouse and keyboard in favor of a virtual keyboard — a step that seemed revolutionary several years ago but is just-how-it-is today.

      In the following sections, you discover how to move around the multitouch interface with ease. Later, we home in on how to make the most of the keyboard.

      Training your digits

      Rice Krispies have Snap! Crackle! Pop! Apple’s response for the iPad is Tap! Flick! Pinch! Oh yeah, and Drag!

      Fortunately, tapping, flicking, pinching, and dragging are not challenging gestures, so you can master many of the iPad’s features in no time:

       Tap: Tapping is the single most important element of multitouch interfaces. Tap to open, tap to play, tap to select, tap to shoot (in games). Sometimes, you double-tap (tapping twice in rapid succession), which has the effect of zooming in (or out) of web pages, maps, and emails. Or you tap-and-hold to move something on the screen.

       Flick: A flick of the finger on the screen lets you quickly scroll through lists of songs, emails, and picture thumbnails. Tap the screen to stop scrolling, or merely wait for the scrolling list to stop.

       Pinch/spread: Place two fingers on the screen and spread them apart to zoom in on images, web pages, text, videos, and more. Or pinch your fingers together to make things smaller. These gestures will quickly become second nature!

       Drag: Here’s where you slowly press your finger against the touchscreen without lifting it. You might drag to move around a web page or map that’s too large for the iPad’s display area.

       Drag downward from the top of the screen: This special gesture displays notifications. Press your finger at the very top of the screen and drag downward.

       Drag downward from the top right of the screen: This time, you’re calling up Control Center, a handy repository for music controls, airplane mode (see Chapter 15), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, do not disturb, mute, volume, orientation lock, timer (Clock app), camera, AirPlay, and brightness controls. Check out Figure 2-2 for one view of Control Center.

       Drag downward on any screen without starting at the very top of the screen: This action summons Search, a discussion for later in this chapter.

       Drag from left to right on the first Home screen: You're summoning the Today screen, where you see the appointments and reminders you have coming up, get app suggestions and News stories, and access Search. The today view is available on the lock screen and the Home screens.

       Drag from right to left on the lock screen: This shortcut action summons the iPad’s camera app.

       Swipe from right edge of the screen: You can СКАЧАТЬ
