Try to keep track of what apps you leave running when you are not using them. Most of the time, an application can remain open while you surf the Internet or attend to other business. If you would like to view the current apps that are running, double click the Home icon. The more you have running, the more battery you'll use, so close those you don't need. Swipe down to get rid of the bar when you are done.

You need not press the camera roll icon to see a video or picture you take. Simple swipe right with a single finger and you will see your video or photo. Swipe in the other direction to see photos you took earlier.

Access the settings menu and limit any mature content that they can view. You can block any material that has been labeled as having adult content and bad language.

It is natural to hold the sides of the iPad when taking a photo. This makes your shutter button move, and you may start wobbling when trying to snap photos. Turn on the orientation lock.

Whether you need to do research, play video games or socialize with friends around the world, the iPad can help you do it. You simply need a good understanding of the iPad including tips like these. Use the tips you just read and spend some time exploring the different features of your iPad.
