For all those whose price has encouraged them to get the new tablet from Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), and come from Android or an older model (especially those that no longer updated to iOS 11), we left you last week a selection with some of the must-have apps for iPad 2018 and we are going to complete it today with a review of some of its most outstanding functions, especially if we want to use it for work or study.
Edit captures
Although its price may still set many back, the support for the Apple Pencil is one of the great novelties of iPad 2018, so it makes sense that the video begins by reviewing some of its most interesting features, and among the various new features that were introduced to take screenshots with iOS 11, without a doubt it is worth highlighting the editing options, which we access by simply selecting the one we want to annotate.
Take notes quickly
With iOS 11 arrived, many new possibilities were also opened for the app Notes, including a function specially designed for the Apple Pencil that will allow us to directly access it with the locked screen, simply by tapping it with it. In order to use it, all we have to do is enable it in the settings menu in the section dedicated to this app.
Draw and take notes by hand
You also have to know that now with iOS 11 we can draw and take notes by hand directly in the app Notes without the need to enable a special mode for it, being able to jump from one control mode to another immediately. And although it is something that we will use even more, logically, if we have a Apple PencilIt is worth remembering that we do not need it for this.
Scan and annotate documents
Another little novelty from iOS 11 that will be very useful is that we can use the camera natively to scan documents, with an option that will appear by clicking on the "+" button on the keyboard. The document in question will appear directly in the app Notes Also and from there we can write it down as we have seen in the previous sections (sign it or whatever else we need).
Use a more PC-like keyboard
For all those who do not use a physical keyboard more frequently, it will be interesting to know also that with iOS 11 also came a new exclusive mode for him iPad keyboard that allows us to use a key layout more similar to that of a PC, with the numbers and symbols on the same screen. It can be activated in the section dedicated to the keyboard in the section “general”From the settings menu.
Split the keyboard in two
Yes, we are holding iPad with hands the most convenient is probably to divide the keyboard in two, with the keys grouped closer to the edges to make it easier to reach them without having to change hands. It is also activated in the settings menu and is launched by placing two fingers on the keyboard on the screen and moving them outwards.
The application bar
Use the application bar, However,, it is quite simple and surely we will appreciate getting used to doing it, because it will speed up multitasking a lot, making it easier for us to switch from one to another. By default it shows recent apps, but we can customize it simply by dragging the icon of the one we want until it stays fixed on it.
Multi-window
If we combine the use of the dock with the options of multi-window, the agility of multitasking takes another huge leap, since we can be handling up to three apps at the same time (two in split window and a third in a floating window) opening and closing them from the same bar and modifying their dimensions as needed.
Drag and Drop
One last novelty of iOS 11 The one you need to become familiar with to get the most out of multitasking is the “drag and drop”. There is not much to explain here since its use is as intuitive as it seems, and this is its main virtue. Just in case, yes, we are going to emphasize that we can use it with several elements at the same time, leaving one selected with one finger and using another to add more.
The control center
El control center it was renewed a lot also with iOS 11 and it should be remembered above all that now we can customize more deeply. To choose the apps and functions to which we want to have direct access, we only have to go to the section "control center”From the settings menu, click on«personalize»And choose the ones that interest us from the list.
