Split the keyboard in half
With the typing keyboard open on any text screen, tap it with two fingers and drag to the sides, as if opening a screen. In this way, the keyboard will be divided in two, arranged on the left and right sides, more adaptable to typing with the thumbs. This feature also allows a greater view of the screen, revealing areas that the full keyboard can hide.

Get a TrackPad
At least in some environments in the iPad, it is possible to use a mouse simulator of those that come in notebooks, also called TrackPad ou Touchpad. To activate it, tap over the typing pad with two fingers and drag them together so that an arrow appears in front of you. This feature arises to nourish the unavailability of native use of a mouse via bluetooth on old models of iPad and it's handy when it comes to selecting a large amount of text or pointing to a very specific position in a word.

Work with multiple screens simultaneously
O iPad has the magnificent resource Split View, which allows you to run two applications at the same time, splitting the screen in half. To make the magic happen, with an app open, drag the screen from the bottom to the top to preview the However,, the bottom shortcuts screen. In it, select an app and drag upwards on one of the side edges so that it sticks to the screen. The same feature can be used between Safari tabs by simply holding a link and dragging it to the side. still, the PiP (Picture in Picture) allows, by simply touching the arrow symbol, we can watch videos on a small screen while performing other tasks.
An additional possibility (and compatible with older models of iPad) is the resource Slide Over. With it, we can position an application screen or folder in front of another, occupying the screen in active mode, while the other is in the background. To access it, with one or two screens open, drag a new item from the However, up on one side.

Amplify the shortcut bar
Unlike the iPhone, which has space for up to four items in the However,, iPad can support 13 to 15 items depending on your device model. To change it by adding or removing items from the However,, just hold and drag the desired icon downwards, fitting it into one of the available spaces. Additionally, the iPad has a space on the right side of this shortcut bar that reveals three of the most recent accesses, amplifying to 18 the maximum range of items to be placed in the However,.

Open recent files quickly
Touch and hold a compatible folder or app for a short moment — not too long to not activate the jiggle (shake, in translation), which is the editing mode for apps on the desktop — and a small window will open containing the last four items used. This possibility guarantees faster access to the documents and files you are working with, making multitasking possible, so expensive for iPad.

Change font size, brightness and color filter
Through the Settings > General > Accessibility section, it is possible to: increase the size of the texts and descriptions that will appear on the iPad in Larger Text; reduce the intensity of the strongest and brightest colors through the Screen Adaptations > Reduce White Point path; and also vary the color palette, making them more favorable for people with dyschromatopsia, by accessing Screen Adaptations > Color Filters.

Use two, four or five fingers at the same time
You can move multiple apps and folders at once on the main screen of iPad. To accomplish this feat, after selecting and dragging an item with one finger, click with another on new items so that they are loaded with you at the same time!
Another possibility to be performed on the screen of the iPad It's touching the screen with four or five fingers and mimicking the pinch-like closing motion to make apps and folders open in the background appear on the screen. This technique also works in Safari, just using two fingers.

Transfer content between iPhone and iPad
A very welcome opportunity in the iPad is the connectivity to the iPhone. If you have both devices logged into the same iCloud account, with Bluetooth turned on and the Wii-Fi of both connected to the same network, you can copy text on one device to paste it on the other. Oh, and this works with images too!

Annotate fast with Apple Pencil
O Apple Pencil has become one of the most dynamic accessories in the iPad, allowing even greater use of the screen in activities such as drawing and annotations, even with the screen locked! To quickly capture a note, simply tap with the Apple Pencil on the locked screen of iPad so that the app Notes, being it properly configured, opens. Practical and agile!

Recognize music with Siri
One last tip, which is also very interesting, is the possibility of using your iPad, or iPhone, as an “by ear” music recognizer. It is not necessary to search for the lyrics and possible names of artists when a sound appears and doubts arise. Just let the music play and, with a tap to call the Crab (by clicking and holding the start button, or above, or even saying “Hey Siri”) ask the following question: “What song is this?”. At this time, the assistant Apple will listen and search for the work played, appearing soon after with the name of the song and even recommending a link to buy it!
