Camera
Take photos
You can take photos and videos with the iSight camera on the back of iPad and the
FaceTime camera on the front.
Also, with iPad Pro (9.7-inch), you can take Live Photos. Live Photos goes beyond
snapshots to capture life the way it happens—in movement and sound. With
iPad Pro (9.7-inch), you can use the True Tone flash with the iSight camera and the
Retina flash with the FaceTime camera.
Choose a photo mode. Camera has several photo modes so you can shoot stills,
square-format photos, and panoramas. To choose a mode, drag up or down, or tap the
mode labels to choose Photo, Square, or Pano.
Take a photo. Thereʼs more than one way to take a photo:
Open Camera, choose Photo or Square, then tap the Shutter button, or press either
volume button.
Swipe left on the Lock screen to make the camera screen appear, then take the
picture.
Page 142 of 292

Settings > Sounds. Or mute the sound using the volume down button or the Ring/Silent
switch, if your iPad has one. (In some countries muting is disabled.)
Ask Siri. Say something like:

Keep it straight. To display a grid that can help you align shots, go to Settings >
Photos & Camera, then turn on Grid.
Zoom in or out. (iSight camera) Pinch the screen open to zoom in, and pinch closed to
zoom out.
Take a Live Photo. (9.7-inch iPad Pro) With Live Photos turned on, tap the Shutter
button. The camera records what happens just before and after you take your photo,
along with the audio. The screen indicates the duration of the Live Photo exposure. You
can edit Live Photos and add filters to them in the Photos app.
Live Photos works with the iSight and FaceTime cameras. To turn it on or off, tap
(Yellow is on.)
Take Burst shots. (iPad Pro, iPad 5th generation, iPad Air 2, iPad mini 4) With the
camera in Photo or Square mode, touch and hold the Shutter button to take rapid-fire
photos in bursts. The shutter sound is different, and the counter shows how many shots
youʼve taken. Lift your finger to stop. To see the suggested shots and select the photos
you want to keep, tap the burst thumbnail, then tap Select. The gray dots below the
thumbnails mark the suggested photos. To copy a photo from the burst as a separate
photo in Photos, tap the circle in the lower-right corner of the photo. To delete the burst

Settings. Turn on Camera Mode to preserve the last mode you used—Video or Square,
for example. You can also preserve Live Photo settings on iPad Pro (9.7-inch).
Take a screenshot. To capture whatʼs displayed on your screen, simultaneously press
and release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons. The screenshot is added to the Photos
tab in Photos, and you can also view it in the Screenshots album or All Photos album (if
youʼre using iCloud Photo Library).

Shoot video
With Camera you can shoot video, including slow-motion and time-lapse videos.

button, to start and stop recording. You can choose to capture 720p or 1080p video at
30 fps (frames per second). On iPad Pro (9.7-inch) you can also capture 1080p video at
60 fps and 4K video at 30 fps. To change video recording settings, go to Settings >
Photos & Camera > Record Video.
Take it slow. (iPad Pro, iPad 5th generation, iPad Air 2, iPad mini 4) Choose Slo-mo to
capture slow-motion video at 120 fps. Later, when you edit the video, you can set just a
portion of it to play back in slow motion, and the rest plays back at regular speed. On
iPad Pro (9.7-inch), you can choose between 120 fps and 240 fps. To change Slo-mo
settings, go to Settings > Photos & Camera > Record Slo-mo.

want, then tap the Record button to start capturing a sunset, a flower opening, or other
experiences over a period of time. Tap the Record button again to stop. The time-lapse
photos are compiled into a short video.
Page 145 of 292
iPad User Guide
With iOS 9 and later, time-lapse videos have video stabilization, which minimizes the
effect of camera movement during capture.
HDR
HDR (High Dynamic Range) helps you get great shots in high-contrast situations. iPad
takes multiple photos in rapid succession, at different exposure settings—and blends
them together. The resulting photo has better detail in the bright and mid-tone areas.
Use HDR. (iSight camera on iPad 3rd generation and later) Tap HDR. For best results,
keep iPad steady and avoid subject motion.
On iPad Pro (9.7-inch), you can choose HDR Auto so iPad uses HDR when itʼs most
effective.
Keep only the HDR version. Go to Settings > Photos & Camera, then turn off Keep
Normal Photo. In your albums, HDR versions of photos are marked with “HDR” in the
corner.
Note: By default, both the normal and HDR versions of the photo appear in Photos.
View, share, and print
Photos and videos you take on iPad are saved in Photos. With iCloud Photo Library
turned on, all new photos and videos are automatically uploaded and available in Photos
on all your devices with iOS 8.1 or later that are set up with iCloud Photo Library. When

Home overview
Home provides a secure way to control and automate HomeKit-enabled accessories,
such as lights, locks, thermostats, window shades, smart plugs, cameras, and more.
With Home, you can control any Works with Apple HomeKit accessory using iPad.
After you set up your home and its rooms, you can control accessories individually, or
use scenes to control multiple accessories with one command. For example, you might
create a scene called “going to bed” that turns off the lights around the house, dims the
lights in the room “master bedroom” to 30%, then locks the front door and lowers the
thermostat.
If you have an Apple TV (4th generation or later), or iPad that you leave at home, you can
schedule scenes to run automatically at certain times, or when you activate a particular
accessory (such as unlocking the front door). This also allows you, and others you invite,
to securely control your home while youʼre away.
Add and control accessories
The first time you open the Home app, the setup assistant helps you create a home,
where you can add accessories and define rooms. If you already created a home using
another HomeKit-enabled app, youʼll skip this step.
Add an accessory to your home. To add an accessory to Home, make sure the
accessory is turned on, tap
, tap “Add Accessory,” then follow the onscreen
Page 161 of 292
iPad User Guide
instructions. Youʼll need to scan or enter the 8-digit HomeKit setup code found on the
accessory itself (or its box or documentation). You can assign the accessory to a room,
as well as give it a name. The name defines how itʼs shown in the Home app, and also
how you control it using Siri.
Control an accessory. Tap an accessoryʼs button to quickly turn it on or off, or touch
and hold the button until controls appear. The available controls depend on the type of
accessory it is. For example, with some lightbulbs, you can change colors. You can also
control accessories using Control Center.
Assign an accessory to a room. Tap Rooms, tap
, then choose the room the
accessory is currently assigned to. (If itʼs not already assigned, look in Default Room.)
Touch and hold the accessoryʼs button until its controls appear, then tap Details. Tap
Location to assign it to a room.
Rename or edit an accessory. Touch and hold the accessoryʼs button until its controls
appear, then tap Details.
Edit a room. Tap
, tap Room Settings, then choose the room to edit. You can change
the roomʼs name, wallpaper, or delete the room.
Make an accessory a favorite. Touch and hold an accessoryʼs button until its controls
appear, then tap Details. Then turn on “Included in Favorites.” You can access your
favorite accessories from the Home tab or Control Center.
Change an accessoryʼs icon. Touch and hold an accessoryʼs button until its controls
appear, then tap Details. Tap the icon (next to its name) to select a new icon. Not all
icons can be changed, but you can change them for lighting accessories, for example.
Rearrange your favorites. Tap Edit, then drag the buttons into the arrangement you
want.
Add more homes. Tap , then tap Add Home. After you add another home, tap
choose the one you want to view or control.

Create and use scenes
Scenes allow you to control multiple accessories at once. For example, you might define
a “Reading” scene that adjusts the lights, closes the drapes, and adjusts the thermostat.
Home has some typical scenes already defined for you, but youʼll need to edit them
before theyʼll work.
Page 162 of 292
iPad User Guide
Create a scene. Tap , enter a name for the scene (such as “Dinner Party” or
“Watching TV”), then tap Add Accessories. Select the accessories you want this scene to
control, then tap Done. Next, set each accessory to change it to the state you want it to
be when the scene is run. For example, you can set up a scene that turns on lights in the
bedroom, and turns off the kitchen lights, when youʼre going to bed.
Run a scene. Tap a scene to run it. If you donʼt see the scene you want to run, look in a
different room.
Change a scene. Touch and hold a scene, then tap Details.
Make a scene a favorite. Touch and hold a scene, tap Details, then tap Show in
Favorites. Favorite scenes appear on the Home tab and are handy for scenes that arenʼt
automated.
Control your home using Siri
You can use Siri to control your accessories and scenes. Here are some of the things you
might be able to say to Siri, depending on your accessories, how youʼve named them,
and the scenes youʼve created:
“Turn off the lights” or “Turn on the lights”
“Dim the lights” or “Set brightness to 55%”
“Is the hallway light on?”
“Set the temperature to 68 degrees”
"Did I lock the front door?”
If you set up rooms, scenes, or more than one home, you can say things like:
"Iʼm home” or “Iʼm leaving”
“Turn down the kitchen lights”
“Turn on the fan in the office”
“Set my reading scene”
“Turn off the lights in the Chicago house”

Automations and remote access
If you have an Apple TV (4th generation or later), or you set up iPad (iOS 10) that you
leave at home, you can use automations and remote access. Automations can run scenes
automatically based on the time of day, your location, a sensor being activated, or the
action of an accessory. The Apple TV or iPad acts as a home hub, which also allows
remote access to your accessories. Apple TV 3rd generation can also provide remote
access, but does not support creating or editing automations using the Home app.
Use iPad for automations and remote access. Go to Settings > Home, then turn on
“Use this iPad as a Home Hub.” When iPad is in your home, it will run your Home
automations even when your iPhone or iPod touch is not present.
If you have an Apple TV using the same iCloud account as your iPad, it will be paired
automatically and enabled for automation.
Create an automation. Tap the Automation tab, tap Create New Automation, then
choose one of the automation triggers described below.
When arriving or leaving a location. Tap My Location Changes, then set a geofence
and specify if you want the trigger to occur when you arrive or leave the location. You
can also set this automation to only occur after sunset, which is useful for turning on
lights only when theyʼre needed.
At a time of day. Tap A Time of Day Occurs, then choose when you want this automation
to run. If you choose Sunset or Sunrise, the time will vary as the season changes.
When an accessory changes. Tap An Accessory is Controlled, select an accessory,
then tap Next and follow the onscreen instructions. You might use this, for example, to
run a scene when you unlock the front door.
A sensor detects something. Tap A Sensor Detects Something, select an accessory,
then tap Next and follow the onscreen instructions. You might use this, for example, to
turn on lights in a stairway when motion is detected nearby.
Disable an automation. In the Automations tab, tap the automation, then turn off Enable
This Automation.

Use two-factor authentication for security
Two-factor authentication is an extra layer of security for your Apple ID designed to
ensure that youʼre the only person who can access your account, even if someone knows
your password. Itʼs built into iOS 9 and later, and OS X 10.11 and later.
Turn on two-factor authentication. Turn it on when asked while setting up iPad. Or, go
to Settings > [your name] > Password & Security, then tap Turn On Two-Factor
Authentication.
When asked, verify your identity with a six-digit verification code (as described below).

then follow the onscreen instructions. You can add multiple fingerprints (both of your
thumbs and forefingers, for example, and one for your spouse).
Note: If you turn iPad off after setting up the Touch ID sensor, youʼre asked to confirm
your passcode when you turn iPad back on and unlock it the first time. Youʼre also asked
for your Apple ID password for the first purchase you make in the iTunes Store,
App Store, or iBooks Store.

iCloud Keychain
iCloud Keychain keeps your Safari website user names and passwords, credit card
information, and Wi-Fi network information up to date across all of your approved
devices (iOS 7 or later) and Mac computers (OS X 10.9 or later). iCloud Keychain is
secured with 256-bit AES encryption during storage and transmission, and its data
cannot be read by Apple.
iCloud Keychain works with Safari Password Generator and AutoFill. When youʼre setting
up a new account, Safari Password Generator suggests unique, hard-to-guess
passwords. You can use AutoFill to have iPad enter your user name, password, and credit
card info automatically. To protect your personal information, set a passcode if you turn
on iCloud Keychain and AutoFill.
Note: Some websites do not support AutoFill.
Page 229 of 292
iPad User Guide
iCloud Keychain can also keep the accounts you use in Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and
Messages up to date across all of your iOS devices and Mac computers.
To learn more about iCloud Keychain, see the Apple Support article Frequently asked
questions.
Set up iCloud Keychain. Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Keychain. Turn on
iCloud Keychain, then follow the onscreen instructions.
When you set up iCloud Keychain, you create an iCloud Security Code. You can use your
iCloud Security Code to authorize additional devices to use your iCloud Keychain. Itʼs
also used to verify your identity so that you can perform other iCloud Keychain actions,
such as recovering your iCloud Keychain if you lose all your devices.
Set up iCloud Keychain on additional devices. Set up iCloud Keychain for each device
that you want to add. When you turn on iCloud Keychain on an additional device, your
other devices that use iCloud Keychain receive a notification requesting approval for the
additional device. After you approve the additional device, your iCloud Keychain
automatically begins updating on that device.
To approve iCloud Keychain on an additional device when you donʼt have access to your
other devices, follow the onscreen instructions to use your iCloud Security Code.
Forgot your iCloud Security Code? If you enter the wrong iCloud Security Code too
many times when using iCloud Keychain, your iCloud Keychain is disabled on that device,
and your keychain in iCloud is deleted. To reset or create a new iCloud Security Code,
see the Apple Support article If you enter your iCloud Security Code incorrectly too many
times.
Find your iPad
If you misplace your iPad, the Find My iPhone app can help you locate it and protect your
data. Use the Find My iPhone app on another iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch—or use the
Find My iPhone web app on any Mac or PC—to locate your iPad on a map, lock it
remotely, play a sound, display a message, or erase all its data. Find My iPhone includes
a feature called Activation Lock that prevents anyone else from activating and using your
iPad, even if itʼs completely erased.
You can also use Find My iPhone to locate your AirPods, your Apple Watch, and your
other iOS devices.
Note: For more information about Find My iPhone, refer to the Help in the app.
Page 230 of 292
iPad User Guide
Allow Find My iPhone to locate your iPad. Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud, then
turn on Find My iPad. Also turn on Send Last Location to have iPad send its last location
prior to the battery running out. (See iCloud if you need help setting up iCloud.)
Important: To use these features, the Find My iPad setting must be turned on before
your iPad is lost. iPad must be able to connect to the Internet for you to locate and
secure the device.
Use Find My iPhone. On iPad or another iOS device, open Find My iPhone. Or on a
computer, go to the Find My iPhone web app. Sign in, then select the device you want to
locate.
Play Sound: Play a sound at full volume for two minutes, even if the ringer is set to
silent.
Lost Mode: Immediately lock your missing iPad with a passcode and display a custom
message on the screen with a contact number. Find My iPhone tracks and reports the
location of your iPad, so you can see where itʼs been.
When iPad is in Lost Mode on devices that support Apple Pay, Find My iPhone
attempts to suspend the ability to pay with credit and debit cards used for Apple Pay.
Erase iPad: Protect your privacy by erasing all the information and media on your iPad
and restoring it to its original factory settings. Activation Lock prevents anyone else
from activating and using your iPad, even after you erase it with Find My iPhone. On
devices that support Apple Pay, erasing iPad also removes the ability to pay with
credit and debit cards used for Apple Pay.
Before you sell or give away your iPad, you should completely erase it in Settings, which
removes Activation Lock. The next owner can then activate and use the device normally.

VoiceOver
VoiceOver
VoiceOver describes aloud what appears onscreen, so that you can use iPad even if you
are blind or have difficulty seeing the screen.
VoiceOver tells you about each item you select. The VoiceOver cursor (a black outline)
encloses the item and VoiceOver speaks its name or describes it.
Touch the screen or drag your finger over it to hear the items on the screen, including
icons and text. To interact with items, such as buttons and links, use VoiceOver gestures.
When you go to a new screen, VoiceOver plays a sound, then selects and speaks the first
item on the screen (typically in the upper-left corner). It lets you know when the display
changes to landscape or portrait orientation, when the screen becomes dimmed or
locked, and is active on the Lock screen when you wake iPad.
Note: VoiceOver is available in many languages. Go to Settings > General > Language &
Region to choose a language.

Learn VoiceOver gestures
Important: VoiceOver changes the gestures you use to control iPad. When VoiceOver is
on, you must use VoiceOver gestures to operate iPad—even to turn VoiceOver off.
When VoiceOver is on, standard touchscreen gestures have different effects, and
additional gestures let you move around the screen and control individual items.
VoiceOver gestures include two-, three-, and four-finger taps and swipes. For best
Page 241 of 292
iPad User Guide
results using multifinger gestures, let your fingers touch the screen with some space
between them.
You can use different techniques to perform VoiceOver gestures. For example, you can
perform a two-finger tap using two fingers on one hand, or one finger on each hand. You
can even use your thumbs. Some people use a split-tap gesture: instead of selecting an
item and double-tapping, touch and hold an item with one finger, then tap the screen
with another finger.
Try different techniques to discover which works best for you. If a gesture doesnʼt work,
try a quicker movement, especially for a double-tap or swipe gesture. To swipe, try
brushing the screen quickly with your finger or fingers.
In VoiceOver settings, you can enter a special area where you can practice VoiceOver
gestures without affecting iPad or its settings.
Practice VoiceOver gestures. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver,
then tap VoiceOver Practice. When you finish practicing, tap Done. If you donʼt see the
VoiceOver Practice button, make sure VoiceOver is turned on.
Here are some key VoiceOver gestures:

double-tap and hold gesture tells iPad to interpret the next gesture as standard. For
example, you can double-tap and hold your finger on the screen until you hear three
rising tones, and then without lifting your finger, drag your finger on a slider.
Two-finger double-tap: This gesture initiates an action or halts or pauses an action in

prefer to use one finger on each hand, simultaneously flick up with one finger and flick
down with the other.
Page 244 of 292
iPad User Guide
Choose your rotor options. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver >
Rotor, then select the options you want to include in the rotor.
The available rotor options and their effects depend on what youʼre doing. For example, if
youʼre reading an email, you can use the rotor to switch between hearing text spoken
word-by-word or character-by-character when you swipe up or down. If youʼre browsing
a webpage, you can set the rotor to speak all the text (either word-by-word or characterby-character), or to jump from one item to another of a certain type, such as headings or
links.
When you use an Apple Wireless Keyboard to control VoiceOver, the rotor lets you adjust
settings such as volume, speech rate, use of pitch or phonetics, typing echo, and reading
of punctuation.

finger. VoiceOver speaks the key when itʼs selected, and again when the character is
entered.
Touch typing: Touch a key on the keyboard to select it, then lift your finger to enter
the character. If you touch the wrong key, slide your finger to the key you want.
VoiceOver speaks the character for each key as you touch it, but doesnʼt enter a
character until you lift your finger.
Direct Touch typing: VoiceOver is disabled for the keyboard only, so you can type just
as you do when VoiceOver is off.
Move the insertion point. Swipe up or down to move the insertion point forward or
backward in the text. Use the rotor to choose whether you want to move the insertion
point by character, by word, or by line. To jump to the beginning or end, double-tap the
text.
VoiceOver makes a sound when the insertion point moves, and speaks the character,
word, or line that the insertion point moves across. When moving forward by words, the
insertion point is placed at the end of each word, before the space or punctuation that
follows. When moving backward, the insertion point is placed at the end of the preceding
word, before the space or punctuation that follows it.
Move the insertion point past the punctuation at the end of a word or sentence. Use
the rotor to switch back to character mode.
When moving the insertion point by line, VoiceOver speaks each line as you move across
it. When moving forward, the insertion point is placed at the beginning of the next line
(except when you reach the last line of a paragraph, when the insertion point is moved to
the end of the line just spoken). When moving backward, the insertion point is placed at
the beginning of the line thatʼs spoken.
Change typing feedback. By default, VoiceOver speaks characters as well as words
when you type. To hear no feedback, hear characters only, or hear words only, go to
Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Typing Feedback, then choose an
option.
Use phonetics in typing feedback. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
VoiceOver > Phonetic Feedback. Text is read character by character. VoiceOver first
speaks the character, then its phonetic equivalent—for example, “f” and then “foxtrot.”
Delete a character. Use
with any of the VoiceOver typing styles. VoiceOver speaks
each character as itʼs deleted. If Use Pitch Change is turned on, VoiceOver speaks
deleted characters in a lower pitch.

Hearing Devices, you need to pair them with iPad. To start, open the battery door on
each hearing aid. Next, on iPad, go to Settings > Bluetooth, and make sure Bluetooth is
turned on. Then, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing Devices. Close the
battery doors on your hearing aids and wait until their name appears in the list of devices
(this could take a minute). When the name appears, tap it and respond to the pairing
request.
When pairing is finished, you hear a series of beeps and a tone, and a checkmark
appears next to the hearing aids in the Devices list. Pairing can take as long as 60
seconds—donʼt try to stream audio or otherwise use the hearing aids until pairing is
finished.

Switch Control
Switch Control overview
If you have a motor impairment, Switch Control lets you control iPad using one or more
connected physical switches. Use any of several methods to perform actions such as
selecting, tapping, dragging, typing, invoking multitasking options on devices that
support them, and even free-hand drawing. You use a switch to select an item or location
on the screen, and then use the same (or different) switch to choose an action to
perform on that item or location. Three basic methods are:
Item scanning (default), which highlights different items on the screen until you
select one.
Point scanning, which lets you use scanning crosshairs to pick a screen location.
Manual selection, which lets you move from item to item on demand (requires
multiple switches).
Whichever method you use, when you select an individual item (rather than a group), a
menu appears so you can choose how to act on the selected item (tap, drag, or pinch, for
example).
If you use multiple switches, you can set up each switch to perform a specific action and
customize your item selection method. For example, instead of automatically scanning
screen items, you can set up switches to move to the next or previous item on demand.
You can adjust the behavior of Switch Control in a variety of ways, to suit your specific
needs and style.
Add a switch and turn on Switch Control
You can use the following as a switch:
An external adaptive switch: Choose a Bluetooth switch or a Made For iPhone switch
that plugs into the lightning port.
The iPad screen: Tap the screen to trigger the switch.
Add a switch and choose its action. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch
Control > Switches. If you use only one switch, it is your Select Item switch by default.
Page 268 of 292
iPad User Guide
If youʼre adding an external switch, you need to connect it to iPad before it will appear in
the list of available switches. Follow the instructions that came with the switch. If it
connects using Bluetooth, you need to pair it with iPad—turn on the switch, go to
Settings > Bluetooth, tap the switch, then follow the onscreen instructions. For more
information, see Bluetooth devices.
Turn on Switch Control. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control, then
turn on Switch Control. Or triple-click the Home button. See Accessibility Shortcut.
Turn off Switch Control. Use any scanning method to select and tap Settings >
General > Accessibility > Switch Control, then turn off Switch Control. Or triple-click the
Home button.
Basic techniques
Whether you use item scanning or point scanning, the Switch Control basics are the
same.
Select an item. Trigger your Select Item switch when the item is highlighted (item
scanning) or under the crosshairs (point scanning).
Perform an action on the selected item. Choose a command from the control menu
that appears when you select the item. The layout of the menu depends on how you
configure tap behavior. (To choose an option, go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
Switch Control > Tap Behavior.)
With Default on: The control menu usually includes only the Tap button and the More
button (two dots at the bottom). If youʼre in a scrollable area of the screen, a Scroll
button also appears. To tap the highlighted item, trigger your Select Item button
when Tap is highlighted. To see additional action buttons, choose More at the bottom
of the menu. If you have multiple switches, you can set one up specifically for
tapping.
With Auto Tap on: To tap the item, do nothing—the item is automatically tapped when
the Auto Tap interval expires (0.75 seconds if you havenʼt changed it). To see the
control menu, trigger your Select Item button before the Auto Tap interval expires.
The control menu skips the Tap button and goes right to the full set of action
buttons.
With Always Tap on: Tap to select the highlighted item rather than display the control
menu. Wait until the end of the scan cycle, then tap a button to display the control
menu.
Page 269 of 292
iPad User Guide
Note: Always Tap applies only when you choose item scanning. When point scanning,
the default behavior applies.
Work with recipes. A recipe lets you temporarily assign a special action to a switch. For
example, you can choose a recipe to turn pages in iBooks or control a game. To create,
edit, or launch a recipe, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control >
Recipes.
Dismiss the Scanner Menu without choosing an action. Tap while the original item is
highlighted and all the icons in the control menu are dimmed. The menu goes away after
cycling the number of times you specify in Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch
Control > Loops.
Perform screen gestures. Choose Gestures from the Scanner Menu.
Scroll the screen. Select an item in a scrollable part of the screen, then:
With Auto Tap off: Choose the Scroll Down button (next to the Tap button) in the
Scanner Menu. Or, for more scrolling options, choose More, then choose Scroll.
With Auto Tap on: Choose Scroll from the control menu. If many actions are available,
you might have to choose More first.
Tap the Home button. Choose Home from the Scanner Menu.
Perform other hardware actions. Select any item, then choose Device from the menu
that appears. Use the menu to mimic these actions:
Double-click the Home button for multitasking
Open Notification Center or Control Center
Press the Sleep/Wake button to lock iPad
Rotate iPad
On iPad models with a side switch, flip the Side Switch to mute iPad volume
Press the volume buttons
Show the Search screen
Press and hold the Home button to open Siri
Triple-click the Home button

iPad User Guide
Shake iPad
Press the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously to take a screenshot
Swipe down from the top with two fingers to speak the screen (if you have Speak
Screen turned on)
Use Switch Control on another iOS device. Ensure that you sign in to iCloud with the
same Apple ID on the other iOS device, then choose the other device from the menu.
Item scanning
Item scanning alternately highlights each item or group of items on the entire screen until
you trigger your Select Item switch. If there are many items, Switch Control highlights
them in groups. When you select a group, highlighting continues with the items in the
group. When you select a unique item, scanning stops and the control menu appears.
Item scanning is the default when you first turn on Switch Control.
You can choose from three scanning styles—auto scanning, manual scanning, and
single-switch step scanning. Auto scanning automatically highlights items, one after the
other. With manual scanning, you use one switch to highlight an item and another to
activate it. Single-switch step scanning uses a switch to move the highlight from item to
item. If you take no action after a period of time, the highlighted item activates.
Select an item or enter a group. Watch (or listen) as items are highlighted. When the
item you want to control (or the group containing the item) is highlighted, trigger your
Select Item switch. Work your way down the hierarchy of items until you select the
individual item you want to control.
Back out of a group. Trigger your Select Item switch when the dashed highlight around
the group or item appears.
Dismiss the control menu without performing an action. Trigger your Select Item
switch when the item itself is highlighted. Or choose Escape from the control menu.
Hear the names of items as they are highlighted. Go to Settings > General >
Accessibility > Switch Control, then turn on Speech. Or choose Settings from the control
menu, then choose Speech On.
Slow down or speed up the scanning. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch
Control > Auto Scanning Time.

Point scanning
Point scanning lets you select an item on the screen by pinpointing it with scanning
crosshairs.
Switch to point scanning. Use item scanning to choose Point Mode from the control
menu. The vertical crosshair appears when you close the menu.
Select an item. Trigger your Select Item switch when the item you want is within the
broad, horizontal scanning band, then trigger again when the fine scanning line is on the
item. Repeat for vertical scanning.
Refine your selection point. Choose Refine Selection from the control menu.
Return to item scanning. Choose Item Mode from the control menu.

Simulate pressing the Home button. Tap the menu button, then tap Home.
Lock or rotate the screen, adjust iPad volume, or simulate shaking iPad. Tap the
menu button, then tap Device.
Perform a swipe or drag that uses 2, 3, 4, or 5 fingers. Tap the menu button, tap
Device > More > Gestures, then tap the number of digits needed for the gesture. When
the corresponding circles appear on the screen, swipe or drag in the direction required
by the gesture. When you finish, tap the menu button.
Perform a pinch gesture. Tap the menu button, tap Custom, then tap Pinch. When the
pinch circles appear, touch anywhere on the screen to move the pinch circles, then drag
them in or out to perform a pinch gesture. When you finish, tap the menu button.
Create your own gesture. You can add your own favorite gestures to the control menu
(for example, touch and hold or two-finger rotation). Tap the menu button, tap Custom,
then tap an empty gesture placeholder. Or go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
AssistiveTouch > Create New Gesture.
Example 1: To create the rotation gesture, go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
AssistiveTouch > Create New Gesture. On the gesture recording screen that asks you to
touch to create a gesture, rotate two fingers on the iPad screen around a point between
them. (You can do this with a single finger or stylus—just create each arc separately, one
after the other.) If it doesnʼt turn out quite right, tap Cancel, then try again. When it looks
right, tap Save, then give the gesture a name—maybe “Rotate 90.” Then, to rotate the
view in Maps, for example, open Maps, tap the AssistiveTouch menu button, and choose
Rotate 90 from Custom. When the blue circles representing the starting finger positions
appear, drag them to the point around which you want to rotate the map, then release.
You might want to create several gestures with different degrees of rotation.
Example 2: Letʼs create the touch-and-hold gesture that you use to start rearranging
icons on your Home screen. This time, on the gesture recording screen, touch and hold
your finger in one spot until the recording progress bar reaches halfway, then lift your
finger. Be careful not to move your finger while recording, or the gesture will be recorded
as a drag. Tap Save, then name the gesture. To use the gesture, tap the AssistiveTouch
menu button, then choose your gesture from Custom. When the blue circle representing
your touch appears, drag it over a Home screen icon and release.
If you record a sequence of taps or drags, theyʼre all played back at the same time. For
example, using one finger or a stylus to record four separate, sequential taps at four
locations on the screen creates a simultaneous four-finger tap.

Exit a menu without performing a gesture. Tap anywhere outside the menu. To return
to the previous menu, tap the arrow in the middle of the menu.
Move the menu button. Drag it anywhere along the edge of the screen.
Touch Accommodations
If you have trouble using the touchscreen or Home button, use Touch Accommodations
to change how your device responds to your touch.
Choose how long you must touch the screen before a touch is recognized. You can
configure iPad to respond only to touches of a certain duration. Go to Settings >
General > Accessibility > Touch Accommodations, turn on Hold Duration, then use the
Gesture Delay plus and minus buttons to choose a duration (the default is 0.10 seconds).
Choose the duration in which multiple touches are treated as a single touch. If you
have trouble touching the screen just once, turn on Ignore Repeat. Then, if you touch the
screen several times quickly, iPad treats the touches as one. To change the amount of
time between touches before iPad treats them as one, go to Settings > General >
Accessibility > Touch Accommodations, turn on Ignore Repeat, then use the Gesture
Delay plus and minus buttons to adjust the timing.
Choose the location where iPad responds to the first or the last place you touch. Go
to Settings > General > Accessibility > Touch Accommodations, then choose a Tap
Assistance option (Use Initial Touch Location or Use Final Touch Location).
When you choose Use Initial Touch Location, iPad uses the location of your first tap—
when you tap an app on the Home screen, for example. Choose Use Final Touch
Location, and iPad registers the tap where you lift your finger. iPad responds to a tap
when you lift your finger within a certain period of time. Use the Gesture Delay plus and
minus buttons to adjust the timing. Your device can respond to other gestures, such as
drags, if you wait longer than the gesture delay.
Choose how iPad responds when you press and hold the Home button. Go to
Settings > General > Accessibility > Home Button, then choose Siri or Off.

Radio frequency exposure iPad uses radio signals to connect to wireless networks. For
information about radio frequency (RF) energy resulting from radio signals, and steps you
can take to minimize exposure, go to Settings > General > About > Legal > RF Exposure,
or go to the RF Exposure website.
Radio frequency interference Observe signs and notices that prohibit or restrict the
use of mobile devices (for example, in healthcare facilities or blasting areas). Although
iPad is designed, tested, and manufactured to comply with regulations governing radio
frequency emissions, such emissions from iPad can negatively affect the operation of
other electronic equipment, causing them to malfunction. Turn off iPad or use Airplane
Mode to turn off the iPad wireless transmitters when use is prohibited, such as while
traveling in aircraft, or when asked to do so by authorities.
Medical device interference iPad contains components and radios that emit
electromagnetic fields. iPad also contains magnets along the left edge of the device and
on the right side of the front glass, which may interfere with pacemakers, defibrillators,
or other medical devices. The iPad Smart Cover, iPad Smart Case, iPad Pro Smart Cover,
and iPad Pro Smart Keyboard also contain magnets. These electromagnetic fields and
magnets may interfere with pacemakers, defibrillators, or other medical devices.
Maintain a safe distance of separation between your medical device and iPad, the iPad
Smart Cover, the iPad Smart Case, the iPad Pro Smart Cover, and the iPad Pro
Smart Keyboard. Consult your physician and medical device manufacturer for information
specific to your medical device. If you suspect iPad is interfering with your pacemaker,
defibrillator, or any other medical device, stop using iPad.
Not a medical device iPad is not designed or intended for use in the diagnosis of
disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of
disease.
Medical conditions If you have any medical condition that you believe could be
affected by iPad (for example, seizures, blackouts, eyestrain, or headaches), consult with
your physician prior to using iPad.
Explosive atmospheres Charging or using iPad in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, such as areas where the air contains high levels of flammable chemicals,
vapors, or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders), may be hazardous. Obey all
signs and instructions.
Repetitive motion When you perform repetitive activities such as typing or playing
games on iPad, you may experience discomfort in your hands, arms, wrists, shoulders,
neck, or other parts of your body. If you experience discomfort, stop using iPad and

High-consequence activities This device is not intended for use where the failure of
the device could lead to death, personal injury, or severe environmental damage.
Choking hazard Some iPad accessories may present a choking hazard to small
children. Keep these accessories away from small children.
Important handling information
Cleaning Clean iPad immediately if it comes in contact with anything that may cause
stains or other damage—for example, dirt or sand, ink, makeup, soap, detergent, acids or
acidic foods, and lotions. To clean:
Disconnect all cables and turn iPad off (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button, then
slide the onscreen slider).
Use a soft, lint-free cloth—for example, a lens cloth.
Avoid getting moisture in openings.
Donʼt use cleaning products or compressed air.
The front of iPad is made of glass with a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic (oil-repellant)
coating. This coating wears over time with normal usage. Cleaning products and abrasive
materials will further diminish the coating and may scratch the glass.
Using connectors, ports, and buttons Never force a connector into a port or apply
excessive pressure to a button, because this may cause damage that is not covered
under the warranty. If the connector and port donʼt join with reasonable ease, they
probably donʼt match. Check for obstructions and make sure that the connector matches
the port and that you have positioned the connector correctly in relation to the port.
Lightning to USB Cable Discoloration of the Lightning connector after regular use is
normal. Dirt, debris, and exposure to moisture may cause discoloration. If your Lightning
cable or connector become warm during use or your iPad wonʼt charge or sync,
disconnect it from your computer or power adapter and clean the Lightning connector
with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquids or cleaning products when cleaning the
Lightning connector.
Certain usage patterns can contribute to the fraying or breaking of cables. The Lightning
to USB Cable, like any other metal wire or cable, is subject to becoming weak or brittle if
repeatedly bent in the same spot. Aim for gentle curves instead of angles in the cable.
Regularly inspect the cable and connector for any kinks, breaks, bends, or other damage.
Should you find any such damage, discontinue use of the Lightning to USB Cable.

Cellular data settings
To activate cellular data service on iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular models), turn cellular use on or
off, or add a Personal Identification Number (PIN) to lock the SIM card, go to Settings >
Cellular Data. With some carriers, you can also change your data plan.
Note: Contact for help with cellular network services and billing, contact your wireless
service provider.
If Cellular Data is off, all data services will use only Wi-Fi—including email, web browsing,
push notifications, and other services. If Cellular Data is on, carrier charges may be
incurred. For example, using certain features and services that transfer data, such as
Messages, could result in charges to your data plan.
Turn Cellular Data on or off. Go to Settings > Cellular Data, then turn Cellular Data on or
off. The following options may also be available:
Monitor and manage your cellular data network usage: You can see which apps use
cellular data and turn off the option, if you want.
Turn LTE on or off: Turning on LTE loads data faster.
Turn Data Roaming on or off: Turning off Data Roaming avoids carrier charges when
using a network provided by a different carrier.
Set up Personal Hotspot: Personal Hotspot shares the Internet connection on iPad
with your computer and other iOS devices. See Personal Hotspot in this guide.
Turn Wi-Fi Assist on or off: If Wi-Fi connectivity is poor, Wi-Fi Assist uses cellular
data to boost the signal.
Note: Using data over a cellular network may incur additional fees.
Set whether cellular data is used for apps and services. Go to Settings > Cellular
Data, then turn cellular data on or off for any app that can use cellular data. If a setting is
off, iPad uses only Wi-Fi for that service. The iTunes setting includes both iTunes Match
and automatic downloads from the iTunes Store and the App Store.
Activate, view, or change your cellular data account. Go to Settings > Cellular Data,
tap View Account, then follow the onscreen instructions.
Lock the SIM card. Go to Settings > Cellular Data > SIM PIN. Locking the SIM card with a
PIN means you need to enter the PIN to use a cellular connection on iPad.

VPN settings
A VPN (virtual private network) provides secure access over the Internet to private
networks, such as the network at your organization. You may need to install a VPN app
from the App Store that configures iPad to access a network. Contact your system
administrator for information about the app and settings you need.
Profiles settings
Configuration profiles define settings for using iPad with corporate or school networks or
accounts. You might be asked to install a configuration profile that was sent to you in an
email, or one that is downloaded from a webpage. iPad asks for your permission to install
the profile, and displays information about what it contains, when you open the file. You
can see the profiles you have installed in Settings > General > Profiles & Device
Management. If you delete a profile, all of the settings, apps, and data associated with
the profile are also deleted.
Sell or give away iPad
