      FIGURE 2-5: Scroll to the left to see the apps you’ve recently used or are still running.

For starters, there’s a feature called slide over. Launch the first app you want to use and then swipe up from the bottom of the screen to bring out the dock. Drag an app off the dock, and iOS 11 will make a tray on the right side of the screen where you can drop that app. Now it’s running side by side with your first app! This split view mode is shown in Figure 2-6. Drag the gray bar between the two apps to resize them.

      FIGURE 2-6: iPadOS split view in action with Safari on the left and Mail on the right.

      The second way requires you to have Tabs turned on. Go to Settings ⇒ Safari and toggle Show Tab Bar so that it turns green. In the Safari app, you can then drag a tab to the right edge of the screen and release, and a new split view is created.

      We bet you can think of all sorts of reasons to run two apps at the same time. Maybe you’re composing a message to a friend in the Mail app while scrolling through Safari in the smaller panel to find a place to have lunch. Or perhaps you’re sketching in one app while using a photo in another as a reference point.

      When you’re finished with that secondary app, just slide it away by dragging the gray handle in the middle to the right side of the screen. The slide-over feature works with Apple’s own apps and some third-party apps. Apps that don’t support it can still have a second app running on top of them, as described in the preceding tip.

      Picture-in-picture

      There’s a good possibility that your television at home has a picture-in-picture feature that enables you to watch one channel in the main portion of the TV screen while checking out a second channel in a small window on the screen. You don’t really want to miss any of the action in the big game now, do you?

      Since iOS 9, your iPad has had the same feature. The picture-in-picture feature on the iPad works when you’re on a FaceTime video call, watching a video stored on your iPad, or streaming a video from one of the many streaming video services. These topics are reserved for Chapter 8.

      Picture-in-picture couldn’t be simpler. While watching a video, press (not tap) the Home button, or simply swipe up from the bottom of the screen. The video picture shrinks into a small window hanging out in the lower-right corner of the display.

You can pause the video or shut it down by tapping the controls that appear in this diminutive video window. (Tap the window if you don’t see the controls.) If you want the video to take over the entire iPad screen, tap the leftmost picture control inside the video window, shown in Figure 2-7.

      FIGURE 2-7: Like some TVs, the iPad has a picture-in-picture feature.

      Meanwhile, if the video window is blocking a portion of the screen that you want to see, you can drag it to another space.

      Organizing icons into folders

      Finding the single app that you want to use among apps spread out over 15 screens may seem like a daunting task. But Apple felt your pain and added a handy organizational tool: folders. The Folders feature lets you create folder icons, each containing apps that pertain to the name that Apple assigned or you gave to that folder.

      To create a folder, follow these steps:

      1 Press your finger against an icon until all the icons on the screen wiggle.

      2 Decide which apps you want to move to a folder and then drag the icon for the first app on top of the second app.The two apps now share living quarters inside a newly created folder. Apple names the folder according to the category of apps inside the folder.

      3 (Optional) Change the folder name by tapping the X on the bar where the folder name appears and typing a new name.

      To launch an app inside a folder, tap that folder’s icon and then tap the icon for the app that you want to open.

      You have plenty of room for all your apps on the iPad. Indeed, you can put as many as 16 apps inside a folder, stash up to 30 apps or folders per page (not counting up to 15 apps on the dock), and have as many as 15 pages.

      When you drag all the apps from a folder, the folder automatically disappears.

      Printing

      iPadOS’s AirPrint feature allows you to print wirelessly from the iPad to an AirPrint-capable printer, available from all major printer manufacturers.

      AirPrint works with Mail, Photos, Safari, and Books (PDF files). You can also print from apps in Apple’s iWork software suite, as well as third-party apps with built-in printing.

      

An AirPrint printer doesn’t need any special software, but it does have to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the iPad.

      To print, follow these steps:

      1  Tap the share icon, and then tap the Print command.The icon is shown in the margin.

      2 In the Printer Options bubble that appears, tap Select Printer to select a printer, СКАЧАТЬ
