Five Great iPad and iPhone tips

Peggy Wang over at Buzzfeed recently compiled a list of “19 Mind-Blowing Tricks Every iPhone And iPad User Should Know.”

Here are the top 5 that you will find the most useful!

1. On the iPad: make typing more comfortable by switching your keyboard to thumb mode.

Simply swipe two fingers across the keyboard. This displays a different keyboard, which allows you to type with your thumbs the same way you type on your iPhone.

*** Alternatively, you can press the “dock and merge” button in the bottom righthand corner of the keyboard and drag up. The keyboard will turn into thumb mode, and you can also drag it wherever you want.

2. If you put your phone on airplane mode, it will charge twice as fast.

3. Use this little trick when you want to go back and forth between the alpha and numeric keyboard. Click the “123” button and slide up to the character you want to input. When you let go, the screen will jump back to the alphabet keyboard.

4. Use this simple Siri command for taking naps.

5. Outsmart your autocorrect by typing an extra letter when trying to spell a contraction.
