How does that joke about millennials go? We don’t use ringtones anymore because our devices stay muted. Well, that’s certainly true for me. I don’t want to be bothered ever unless I’m the one reaching out and initiating the bothering.
Forgetting your iPad passcode can be a hassle. You could easily get locked out of it because there’s also a limit to how many times you can enter a different four- and six-digit combo. Once you hit that limit, your iPad is disabled.
With the goldfish memory I have, I leave my iPhone in the strangest places and forget where I saw it last. I’ve recovered my phone from the kitchen cabinets, inside dressing table drawers, and the closet. Thankfully, I’ve never had it stolen, but I’d want to be prepared for that, too.
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you need your parents to perform a complicated (well, complicated for them) task on their phone, but they can’t quite follow written instructions? Well, let’s hope your folks are better visual learners.
You can’t really go too far when it comes to phone security, considering everything of importance we put on these compact devices—from bank account apps to our most intimate conversations—and while lock screen protections can keep most people out, they’re not always enough.
We have three Apple Pencils now, and all three pair with your iPad differently. This would have been confusing enough on its own.
Screenshotting on an iPad could be a little confusing since there’s a different way to do it, depending on whether your model has a home button. Your iPad is going to have a home button if it’s an iPad Pro from 2017 or earlier or an iPad Air, iPad Mini, or a standard iPad from 2019 or earlier.
If you want your iPad to go back to looking the way it did when you first got it, you can reset its settings to default without losing your data.
Turning off an iPad looks different for models with and without a home button. Your iPad is going to have a home button if it’s an iPad Pro from 2017 or earlier or an iPad Air, iPad Mini, or a standard iPad from 2019 or earlier. If you’re unsure about which button is which, this Apple Support guide can help.
