USEFUL TIPS AND TRICKS FOR IPAD PRO

The new iPad Pro is the biggest and fastest Apple tablet which is more powerful and accomplished than traditional ones, with a bunch of new features that makes it a sterling all-purpose tool if you're using it for work and for play. You have to take times to explore all these features, so here is a list of cool tips and tricks to get the most out of your iPad Pro.

1. Use Split-Screen multitasking feature

iOS 9 brings a long-awaited Split-Screen multitasking feature to the iPad for the first time with three different multitasking modes including Split View, Slide Over, and Picture in Picture. It’s really powerful on the iPad Pro thanks to the increased screen size and other improvements of the new tablet.

The Split View runs two apps at the same time, with each app taking up half of the screen. With Split View, two apps can be used simultaneously side-by-side and controlled independently, so you can do things like copy and paste content from one app to another while both are active on the screen.

Slide Over can be used within any app by swiping your finger to the left from the right edge of the iPad Pro to bring up a small side pane that shows a second app alongside the first app. Slide Over takes up one-third of the screen, and any app that offers multitasking support will be displayed in the side pane with a special preview view. Swiping downwards on the Slide Over window from the top of the iPad screen to an app from the list.

Picture in Picture is the third multitasking feature which helps you no longer have to quit watching videos or placing FaceTime video calls while checking other apps, just simple by pressing the Home button to send the video to a corner of the iPad Pro’s display.

2. Check the battery status of accessories

A host of accessories connected to your iPad Pro is great and useful, but many of them are powered by batteries so you will not want to be caught out when an accessory you rely heavily upon has run out of juice.

Luckily, it's remarkably easy to make sure that you will never be put in this situation with your iPad Pro. You can to check the power status of the Apple Pencil and any other connected accessories like Bluetooth headphones by swiping downwards from the top of the screen to open up the Notifications shade and have the battery widget activated (which is recommended to be on by default).
