Get tips on using iOS 11
The Tips app helps you get the most from iPad.
Get Tips. Open the Tips app. New tips are added frequently.
Get notified when new tips arrive. Go to Settings > Notifications > Tips.
Get started
Turn on iPad
Turn on iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
If iPad doesnʼt turn on, you might need to Charge and monitor the battery.
Turn off iPad. Normally, you leave iPad on all of the time, but if you need to turn it off,
press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the slider appears, then drag the slider.
Install the SIM card
An Apple SIM card, an embedded Apple SIM, or a third-party SIM card is used for your
cellular data connection. All iPad Wi-Fi + Cellular models include a SIM card tray. Some
models also include an embedded Apple SIM (except in China). In some regions, other
iPad Wi-Fi + Cellular models may include a preinstalled Apple SIM card.
If you change carriers or if no SIM card is installed, you may need to install or replace the
SIM card. Apple SIM card kits are available for purchase at Apple Retail locations in
countries with participating carriers. For more information, see the Apple Support article
Use Apple SIM with Wi-Fi + Cellular models of iPad.
Eject the SIM card tray. Insert a paper clip or the SIM eject tool (sold separately) into
the small hole of the SIM card tray on the right side of iPad, then press firmly to eject and
remove the tray. Place the SIM card in the tray—the angled corner determines the correct
orientation—then insert the SIM card tray back into iPad.
Cellular data also requires a wireless data plan. See Sign up for cellular service.
Important: A SIM card or an Apple SIM is required to use cellular services when
connecting to GSM networks and some CDMA networks. Your iPad is subject to your
wireless service providerʼs policies, which may include restrictions on switching service
providers and roaming, even after the conclusion of any required minimum service
contract. Contact your wireless service provider for more details. Availability of cellular
capabilities depends on the wireless network.
Set up iPad
With only a Wi-Fi connection, you can easily set up iPad. You can also set up iPad by
connecting it to a computer and using iTunes.
WARNING: To avoid injury, read Important safety information before using iPad.
Prepare for setup. To make setup as smooth as possible, have the following items
available:
The name and password (if applicable) of your Wi-Fi network
Your Apple ID and password; if you donʼt have an Apple ID, you can create one during
setup
Your credit or debit card account information, if you want to add a card to Apple Pay
during setup on supported models
Your previous iPad or its backup data, if youʼre upgrading to a new device
Your Android device, if you want to Move to iOS from Android
Set up iPad. Turn on iPad, then follow the setup assistant.
If you have another iOS device with iOS 11 or later, you can securely copy many of your
settings, preferences, and iCloud Keychain to your new iPad. Hold your other device near
your new iPad, and wait for automatic setup to begin.
Note: The Find My iPhone app helps you locate and protect your iPad if itʼs lost or stolen.
The app automatically turns on when you sign in with your Apple ID during iPad setup;
the app includes a feature called Activation Lock, which prevents anyone else from
activating and using your iPad, even if itʼs completely erased. (See Find your iPad.) Before
you sell or give away iPad, you should erase and unlock it so that the next owner can
activate it.
Use iPad for business. If your iPad is deployed or managed by a company or other
organization, see an administrator for setup instructions. For general information, go to
the Business website.
Use iPad for education. If your iPad is deployed or managed by a school, see a teacher
or administrator for setup instructions. For general information, go to the Education
website.
Configure settings
The Settings app
The Settings app is accessible from the Home screen. You use it to configure many of the
settings on iPad. For example, to choose a different wallpaper, tap Settings, then tap
Wallpaper (Settings > Wallpaper). You can also use Settings to:
Manage your Apple ID
Change your device passcode
Choose different sounds for notifications
Configure privacy controls
Find out how much free storage remains on iPad
Enable restrictions
Search for a setting. Open Settings, swipe down to reveal the search field, then enter a
term—alert or password, for example.
Sign up for cellular service
If your iPad has an embedded Apple SIM or an Apple SIM card (available on supported
models), you can choose a carrier and sign up for cellular service right on iPad.
Depending on your home carrier and your destination, you may also be able to travel
abroad with iPad and sign up for cellular service with a carrier in the country youʼre
visiting. This isnʼt available in all regions and not all carriers are supported; for more
information, see the Apple Support article Use Apple SIM with Wi-Fi + Cellular models of
iPad, or contact your carrier.
Sign up for cellular service. Go to Settings > Cellular Data, then tap Set Up Cellular
Data and follow the onscreen instructions.
Set up cellular service in another country. When traveling to another country, you can
choose a local carrier rather than roaming. Go to Settings > Cellular Data, tap Choose a
Data Plan, then select the plan you want to use.
If you have a third-party SIM card, contact your carrier to set up cellular service.
Connect to the Internet
iPad connects to the Internet whenever necessary by using Wi-Fi or your carrierʼs cellular
network, if available. When an app needs to use the Internet, iPad tries the following, in
order:
Connects to the most recently used available Wi-Fi network
Shows a list of Wi-Fi networks in range and connects to the one you choose
Connects over the cellular data network (Wi-Fi + Cellular models)
Note: If a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet isnʼt available, apps and services may transfer
data over your carrierʼs cellular network, which may result in additional fees. Contact your
carrier for information about your cellular data plan rates. To manage cellular data usage,
see Cellular data settings.
Connect to Wi-Fi
If
appears at the top of the screen, youʼre connected to a Wi-Fi network. iPad
reconnects when you return to the same location.
Configure Wi-Fi. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi, then turn on Wi-Fi.
Choose a network: Tap one of the listed networks, then enter the password, if
required.
Ask to join networks: Turn on Ask to Join Networks to be notified when a Wi-Fi
network is available. Otherwise, you must manually join a network when a previously
used network isnʼt available.
Join a closed Wi-Fi network: Tap Other, then enter the name of the network. You need
to know the network name, security type, and password.
Adjust the settings for a Wi-Fi network: Tap
next to a network. You can set an
HTTP proxy, define static network settings, turn on BootP, or renew the settings
provided by a DHCP server.
Note: Some networks may offer different information.
Forget a network: Tap
next to a network youʼve joined before, then tap Forget This
Network.
You can also use Control Center to make changes to your Wi-Fi connection. See Control
Center.
Set up your own Wi-Fi network. If you have an unconfigured AirPort base station turned
on and within range, you can use iPad to set it up. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi, then look for
“Set up an AirPort base station.” Tap your base station, and Setup Assistant does the
rest.
Manage an AirPort network. If iPad is connected to an AirPort base station, go to
Settings > Wi-Fi, tap
next to the network name, then tap Manage This Network. If you
havenʼt yet downloaded AirPort Utility, tap OK to open the App Store, then download it.
(This requires an Internet connection.)
Date and time
The date and time are usually set for you based on your location—take a look at the Lock
screen to see if theyʼre correct.
Update the date and time automatically. Go to Settings > General > Date & Time, then
turn on Set Automatically. iPad gets the correct time over the network and updates it for
the time zone youʼre in. Some networks donʼt support network time, so in some regions
iPad may not be able to automatically determine the local time.
Set the date and time manually. Go to Settings > General > Date & Time, then turn off
Set Automatically.
Change the time format to 24-hour time. (not available in all regions) Go to Settings >
General > Date & Time, then turn on 24-Hour Time.
Language and region
Go to Settings > General > Language & Region to set:
The language for iPad
The preferred language order for apps and websites
The region format
The calendar format
The temperature unit (Celsius or Fahrenheit)
To add a keyboard for another language, go to Settings > General > Keyboard >
Keyboards. For more information, see Use international keyboards.
Apple ID
Your Apple ID is the account you use for just about everything you do with Apple—
including storing your content in iCloud, streaming from Apple Music, and buying content
from the App Store, iTunes Store, and iBooks Store. You can sign in to all Apple services
with a single Apple ID and password.
Sign in with your Apple ID. If you already have an Apple ID, use it to sign in when you
first set up iPad, and whenever you need to sign in to use an Apple service. If you didnʼt
sign in during setup, go to Settings > Sign in to your iPad.
If you donʼt have an Apple ID, you can create one wherever youʼre asked to sign in—for
example, the App Store, iTunes Store, or iBooks Store. Itʼs best to have only one Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID settings. Go to Settings > [your name] to update your contact
information, change your password, upgrade your iCloud storage, manage Family Sharing
and subscriptions, and more.
iCloud
Safely store your photos and videos, documents, and more in iCloud so theyʼre available
even if you lose your iPad.
Set up iCloud. If you havenʼt already signed in with your Apple ID, go to Settings > Sign
in to your iPad. If you donʼt have an Apple ID, you can create one.
Content stored in iCloud is pushed wirelessly to your other devices where youʼre signed
in to iCloud with the same Apple ID.
iCloud is available on devices with iOS 5 or later, on Mac computers with Mac OS X 10.7.5
or later, and on PCs with iCloud for Windows 5 or later (Windows 7 or later is required).
You can also sign in to iCloud.com from any Mac or PC to access your iCloud information
and features like Photos, Find My iPhone, Mail, Calendar, Contacts, iWork for iCloud, and
more.
Note: iCloud may not be available in all regions, and iCloud features may vary by region.
For more information, go to the iCloud website.
With iCloud, you can:
Store your photos and videos: If you use iCloud Photo Library to store all your photos
and videos, you can access them from any device with iOS 8.1 or later, a Mac with
OS X 10.10.3 or later, a PC with iCloud for Windows 5 or later, and on iCloud.com
when you sign in with the same Apple ID. Use iCloud Photo Sharing to share photos
and videos with only the people you choose, and let them add photos, videos, and
comments.
Keep your mail, calendars, notes, contacts, and reminders up to date: All your info
stays up to date everywhere—on your Mac, your iOS devices, and on iCloud.com.
Note: If you enable iCloud for apps such as Music, Photos, Calendar, and Contacts on
your iPad, you canʼt use iTunes to sync them with your computer.
Store and retrieve your documents: Store documents on iCloud Drive in the Files app
and access them from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC.
Back up your data: Back up iPad to iCloud automatically when iPad is connected to
power and Wi-Fi. iCloud data and backups sent over the Internet are encrypted. See
Back up iPad with iCloud Backup.
Share with your family: With Family Sharing, up to six family members can share
iCloud storage on plans with 200 GB or more.
Keep tabs on your browsing: See the Safari tabs you have open on your other iOS
devices and Mac computers. See Browse the web.
Find your iPad: Use the Find My iPhone app on another iOS device—or use the Find
My iPhone web app on any Mac or PC—to locate your missing iPad on a map, lock it
remotely, suspend or remove the ability to pay using Apple Pay, play a sound, display
a message, or erase all the data on it. Find My iPhone also includes Activation Lock,
which requires your Apple ID and password to disable Find My iPhone, erase iPad, or
reactivate your device. See Find your iPad.
Find your friends: Use Find My Friends to share your location with friends and family.
Store and access your passwords and credit card information: iCloud Keychain keeps
passwords and credit card information up to date across all your designated devices.
With iCloud, you get a free email account and 5 GB of storage for your mail, documents,
photos and videos, and backups. Your purchased music, apps, TV shows, and books
donʼt count against your available storage space. You can purchase additional storage
right from your device.
Upgrade your iCloud storage. Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Manage
Storage > Change Storage Plan. For information about upgrading your iCloud storage,
see iCloud Help.
For more information about iCloud, go to the iCloud website. For support information, go
to the iCloud Support website.
Set up other mail, contacts, and calendar accounts
In addition to the apps that come with iPad and that you use with iCloud, iPad works with
Microsoft Exchange and many of the most popular Internet-based mail, contacts, and
calendar services.
For information about setting up a Microsoft Exchange account in a corporate
environment, see the Apple Support article Set up Exchange ActiveSync on your iPhone,
iPad, or iPod touch.
Set up an account. Go to Settings > Accounts & Passwords, then tap Add Account.
You can add contacts using an LDAP or CardDAV account, if your company or
organization supports it. See Add contact accounts.
You can add calendars using a CalDAV calendar account, and you can subscribe to
iCalendar (.ics) calendars or import them from Mail. See Use multiple calendars.
Move to iOS from Android
During setup, you can migrate your content automatically and securely from your Android
device.
Download the Move to iOS app. On your device running Android version 4.0 or later, see
the Apple Support article Move from Android to iOS and download the Move to iOS app.
Move your data from Android during setup. When setting up iPad, on the Apps & Data
screen, select Move Data from Android. On the Android device, turn on Wi-Fi, open the
Move to iOS app, then follow the steps.
Note: You can use the Move to iOS app only when you first set up iPad. If youʼve already
finished setup and want to use Move to iOS, you must erase your iOS device and start
over, or move your data manually. See the Apple Support article Move content manually
from your Android device to your iOS device.
Connect iPad to your computer
By connecting iPad to your computer, you can sync content from your computer using
iTunes and back up with iTunes. You can also sync with iTunes wirelessly.
To use iPad with your computer, you need:
A Mac with a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port, or a PC with a USB 2.0 port, and one of the
following operating systems:
OS X 10.9 or later with iTunes 12.5 or later
Windows 7 or later with iTunes 12.5 or later

Connect iPad to your computer. Use the included Lightning to USB Cable.
Unless iPad is actively syncing with your computer, you can disconnect it at any time.
Look at the top of the iTunes screen on your computer or on iPad to see if syncing is in
progress. If you disconnect iPad while itʼs syncing, some data may not get synced until
the next time you connect iPad to your computer.
Sync iPad
You can transfer information and files between iPad and your other iOS devices and Mac
computers, using either iCloud or iTunes.
iCloud stores your photos and videos, documents, music, calendars, contacts, and
more and keeps them up to date on all your iOS devices and Mac computers where
youʼre signed in with the same Apple ID. See iCloud.
With iTunes, you can sync music, videos, photos, and more between your computer
and iPad. After you sync, the content on your iPad matches the content in your iTunes
Library on your computer. iTunes is available from the iTunes website. For more
information, see the Apple Support article Sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with
iTunes using USB.
You can use iCloud or iTunes, or both, depending on your needs. For example, you can
use iCloud to automatically keep your contacts and calendars up to date on all your
devices, and use iTunes to sync music from your computer to iPad.
Note: If you use iCloud for features such as music, photos, calendar, and contacts, you
canʼt use iTunes to sync their associated media and data.
Back up iPad
You can back up iPad using iCloud or iTunes. To decide which method is best for you, see
About backups for iOS devices.
Tip: If you replace your iPad, you can use its backup to transfer your information to
the new device. See Restore iPad.

backs up iPad daily over Wi-Fi, when iPad is connected to a power source and locked. (To
lock iPad, press the Sleep/Wake button. iPad also locks automatically if you donʼt touch
the screen for a minute or so.)
iCloud backups are encrypted automatically so that your data is protected from
unauthorized access both while itʼs transmitted to your devices and when itʼs stored in
iCloud. Purchased content, iCloud Photo Sharing, and My Photo Stream content donʼt
count against your 5 GB of free iCloud storage.
When you back up iPad using iCloud, you canʼt simultaneously use iTunes to
automatically back up iPad to your computer. However, you can use iTunes to manually
back up iPad to your computer. See Back up iPad with iTunes.
iCloud backups donʼt include:
Data thatʼs already stored in iCloud, such as contacts, calendars, notes, iCloud
Shared Streams, My Photo Stream, iCloud Photo Library, and the contents of

Make requests
Talking to Siri is a quick way to get things done. Ask Siri to set an alarm, find a
destination, book a ride or a table, or send a love note. Siri can even change the lighting
in a room with HomeKit-controlled lights. And the more you use Siri, the better it knows
what you need.
Note: To use Siri, iPad must be connected to the Internet. See Connect to the Internet.
Cellular charges may apply.

the onscreen keyboard.
Change a message before sending it: Say “Change it.”
Ask Siri to translate. (beta) Siri can translate a phrase from English to Chinese, Spanish,
French, German, or Italian. Ask Siri “How do you say” followed by the phrase and
language to which you want to translate. Siri speaks the translation out loud, which can
help you with pronunciation.
Change the voice for Siri. (not available in all languages) Go to Settings > Siri &
Search > Siri Voice. Choose a male or female voice for Siri or even change the accent.
Adjust the volume for Siri. Use the volume buttons while youʼre interacting with Siri. For
voice feedback options, go to Settings > Siri & Search > Voice Feedback.
Prevent access to Siri when iPad is locked. Go to Settings > Siri & Search > Allow Siri

Tell Siri about yourself
If you tell Siri about yourself—including things like your home and work addresses, and
your relationships—you can get personalized service so you can say things like, “Send a
message to my husband.”
Tell Siri who you are. Fill out your info card in Contacts, then go to Settings > Siri &
Search > My Information and tap your name.
Tell Siri how to say your name. Say something like “Learn to pronounce my name.”

then sign in to iCloud with the same Apple ID on all your devices. Everything about you is
encrypted, so your personal information remains private.
Note: Siri uses Location Services when your requests require knowing your location. See
Location Services.
Proactive intelligence
Siri learns from you, and can sometimes anticipate what you want and make suggestions
before you make a request or ask a question. Your personal information—which is
encrypted and remains private—stays up to date across all your devices where youʼre
signed in to iCloud using the same Apple ID. As Siri learns about you on one device, your
experience with Siri is improved on your other devices.
Based on how you use your iPad, Siri makes suggestions for what you might want to do
next. Siri might help when you:
Create email and events: When you start adding people to an email or calendar event,
Siri suggests the people you included in previous emails or events.
Leave for an event: If your calendar event includes a location, Siri assesses traffic
conditions and notifies you when to leave.
Type: As you enter text, Siri can suggest names of movies, places—anything you
viewed recently. If you tell a friend youʼre on your way, Siri can even suggest your
estimated arrival time.
Search in Safari: (iPad Air 2 and later) Siri makes suggestions based on what you were
just reading.
Confirm an appointment or a book flight on a travel website: (iPad Air 2 and later) Siri
asks if you want to add it to your calendar.
Read News stories: As Siri learns which topics youʼre interested in, theyʼll be
suggested in News.
Siri and apps
Siri works with many of the apps on iPad, including FaceTime, Messages, Maps, Clock,
Calendar, and Music. For example, you can say things like:
“FaceTime Mom”
“Do I have any new texts from Rico?”
“Set an alarm for 8 a.m.”
To get personalized service for requests like “FaceTime Mom,” tell Siri about yourself and
your relationships. See Tell Siri about yourself.
More examples of how you can use Siri with apps appear throughout this guide.
Use Siri as your personal DJ. Apple Music knows your tastes. So when you tell Siri to
play some music, youʼll hear a song you love. Siri can also answer music trivia questions
like “Whoʼs the drummer in this song?” See Start Apple Music trial.
Listen to the latest news. (not available in all regions) Say something like, “Hey Siri, play
some news.” You can also ask for business, sports, or music news.
Use Siri with third-party apps. Some apps from the App Store also support Siri. These
include apps that let you book a ride, send a message, search photos, place calls, and
track your workouts. Look for apps that support Siri in the App Store.
Turn off Search & Siri suggestions. Go to Settings > Siri & Search, then turn off Search
& Siri suggestions for specific apps.

shared file with access set to “Only people you invite,” you can change the permission for
an individual without affecting the permission of others. You can also remove their access
to the file. Touch and hold the file, tap Share, tap
, tap the personʼs name, then tap an
option.
Stop sharing a file. If youʼre the owner of a shared file, you can stop sharing it. Touch

the alert is dismissed, and the file is removed from the participantʼs iCloud Drive. The link
to the file no longer works. If you later share the file again and set the access to “Anyone
with the link,” the original link will work. If the access is set to “Only people you invite,”
the original link will work again only for people you reinvite to share the file.
