[@zachmurfin4324]

I find that using my thumb and first two fingers for the copy/paste gesture (like you're picking something up and putting it down) works a lot easier than using my middle 3 fingers. Lots of stuff in this video I didn't know, thanks!!

[@Allezfrance18]

Hi Brandon ! There’s one thing I found out not long ago. If you want to get the Degree symbol ° ( I thought it was missing on the keyboard 😅 ) just tap and hold the 0 (Zero) and it will show up. This was driving me crazy since my first iPhone !

[@jackyharuhiko]

That’s so cool! On a keyboard, just press Option + 0 and we will get the degree symbol too.

[@Allezfrance18]

0:54 or you can press the select button and drag select the images you want to delete/ send/ add to an album, it’s essentially helpful for bigger amounts of images.

[@Shaaydiia07]

You’re still able to add them to separate app, just drag until you’re done selecting your images, press down on the bottom image and they’ll all group together like it shows in the video. 😊🤍👍

[@winc06]

So much I don't know. Thanks. I would be grateful for some more of these.

[@BrandonButch]

I'll work on another!

[@mon_sky6637]

My life will get SO MUCH easier after this video ❤

[@shepherd8531]

Brandon, you made my day 😃. I'm tired of looking for new OS and app features on every iDevices and each time Apple updates OS. I learnt more watching your vidéo than in the past year. Many thanks 🙏.

[@dineshshah1891]

You are absolutely right . I didn't know many of the features you demonstrated . Thank you very much. Learnt a lot. Please keep it up.

[@dayinalife4633]

Brandon., Thankyou. Brilliant, efficient, effective, and very helpful . Thank you

[@agentfletcher]

Tip one is an equal or more amount of clicks depending on where the app you need to import the photos is located on the home screen.

[@BrettBranchRealtor]

I can’t get “space it out” to work. Is that an iPad os 18 thing or some other setting to enable? I just get ink dots where I’m tapping and holding…

[@Uluc994]

Well, I am very surprised that I didn't know any of these before... Cool stuff!

[@plzt]

I don’t seem to be able to start notes from the off Lock Screen - totally black as shown in the vid. It only works when I click the power button then tap. Am I missing something? M1 iPad Pro, iPadOS 18 developer. Thanks!

[@plzt]

I figured it out in case anyone comes looking - you have to have gone to Accessibility, then Touch, the turn on Tap To Wake

[@Greg-fg1rd]

the pen tap and spacing...is that only on the newest iPads? I have an 11 inch pro and pencil and it did to work.

[@AZ-nv3hu]

Awesome, Part 2 pls. Thank you.

[@MargoFromTheDesert]

Thanks for the great tips, Brandon! I appreciate your moderate pace and varied tone of voice. Nice!

[@pierremaurice8246]

How did you add the fifth number row? 😮

[@VampireOnline]

Woah! Drawing a square and holding it works on iPhone as well! It used to be so much easier to get those, but I didn't know that trick! Thanks!

[@jeffhale1189]

Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day.

[@mic9657]

6:18 You can pinch apart on the keyboard and it will split it to each side so you can type with your thumbs too

[@BrandonButch]

not on the iPad Pro

[@jackyharuhiko]

@@BrandonButchApple disabled it since the first 12.9 inch super big ass iPad Pro from 2015.

[@dotstermfs]

I do miss this though

[@jackyharuhiko]

@@dotstermfs same here. I always thought that it was still there until I tried.

[@dotstermfs]

@@jackyharuhiko Yeah it would be nice to have an option to enable it somewhere in settings. I didn’t use it ALL the time but there were definitely some times where it was a nice option to have!

[@babsiegirl3731]

How do you get the keyboard with the numbers on top? I have pro 4th generation. Thanks.

[@joepvans5035]

Only iPad Pro 12.9” models can enable number row for the keyboard by default. No other iPad lineup can. Annoying, isnt it?

[@BrandonButch]

it's for larger-sized models only

[@babsiegirl3731]

@@BrandonButch thank you. Maybe some update will add it to the smaller model, I hope!!

[@dushyant025]

@@joepvans5035 Honestly i like the current one better (which has numbers lined up with qwerty... so u can easily down swipe on that to get it... also the whole keyboard has those swipe down symbols in these ones making them a bit faster than in the video)

[@joepvans5035]

@@dushyant025 yeah it's just preference of course, but Apple should just give us options

How did you get the top row on the keyboard?

Can pls tell when will the new ipad 11 gen wil come out

[@koolenboer]

Great video Brandon! Recently sold my iPad Pro 2018 and got a open box iPad Pro M2. To be honest the 2018 pro was still great for everyday tasks 😊

[@v3n0s]

Mindblowing the format of external drives on ipad…🤯

[@thebountycaptain]

Great Video!! Just when I think I always master Apple products and iOS, I always learn something new from you!

[@BrandonButch]

That's the goal! 🙌

[@ritagraham6703]

Wonderful tips! Yes, more, please. These worked great on my iPad Mini 6

[@Bruceneuman]

Love these tricks videos. Can’t understand why so many of Apple’s best features remain hidden. Glad you are around to uncover them. 😊

[@KiltedGreen]

Why would Apple add a feature and then hide it? Who benefits from that? They’re not hidden, they are in Apple’s user guides but you haven’t read them. Most people don’t read user guides so the less obvious features become “hidden secrets”.

[@Joha-bib]

I deactivated these 3 and 4 finger gestures because if I activated them almost always accidentally because using the back button in Goodnotes is very easy

[@BryanRunPhuket]

Great video I actually learned a lot 😁👍👍👍

[@AON_20.24]

Nice. Definitely was a few I didn’t know about. 💯

[@DomoMartin]

Very helpful. Thank you!

[@joshuahagan9739]

Just got my first iPad since the 2nd gen that I stopped using 10 years ago. This video was super helpful. Thank you.

[@brotherdubious]

Hey Brandon, I love your vids but one thing I noticed is that I basically have to turn my volume down 50% whenever I watch them because the audio is so loud compared to most other content I watch on here. Not sure if others have noticed the same thing.

[@MayMay01213]

Yes it always much louder 😅

[@CookieCookie-x7e]

Same but like 15% more down

[@Mikel8v]

This is an awesome, clear, quick, video - thanks so much. Learned a few I didn’t know and reminded of a couple useful I’m not using. Liked the short length but would love a part 2 and will head over to check your other offerings. New fan of yours for sure.

[@deeps.]

7:30 THANK YOU! I have an ipad 10 and its so frustrating not having the number rows. That swipe is gonna save me a lot of time

[@BV35]

Great Vid Brandon, glad I found your channel.i am still trying to decide between the 11” and 13. Is that a 13”? Seems like the additional real estate helps with multitasking and productivity, for example surfing in one window and taking notes on the other. Thanks!

[@cptnquick]

6:44 With the small sized keyboard, you can swipe with your finger or Apple Pencil to type.

[@benbryceholden1]

That text selection hack at 8:23 is sweet.

[@BrandonButch]

right!? I use it multiple times a week!

[@NathanWesley-j5q]

Wow, didn't expect to learn so many tricks, I use my iPad to write a lot and this was actually helpful! Great video, liked!!

How do you get a external drive to show up? I have a scandisk that is encrypted that I use on my Mac for backups but it wont show up on my iPad 18.1 beta 6. Is it because it’s encrypted?

[@davidnagy510]

Yes I can’t use all the tips you have thanks for the videos they’re very helpful

[@michaelpallante2869]

I just received the M4 iPad Pro and I love it. Had the 12.9” M1 and loved that one too. Traded it in for the new one. The screen is amazing and I love that is so thin and light. Waiting for my Zugu case.

[@Maybalen1979]

Good stuff 👍👍 that I can learn something new, such as at the 10:30 The finger-swipe corner gestures are not available when Stage Manager is enabled - however, the Pencil corner gestures remain accessible while Stage Manager is active. 😅😅

[@paulstejskal]

Brandon, side question, are you still caseless? If so, how do you hold onto your phone? Is it slippery?

[@BrandonButch]

It’s not slippery at all. Been caseless for a few months now

[@paulstejskal]

@@BrandonButch ah was wondering. My phone has been warmer in the summer months here in KS so trying to keep the battery health as high as possible. :) Thanks.

How do you have number row on the keyboard ? I don’t on my iPad Pro 11 M4… is it only on the 13 inches ?

[@FemaleVillageElder]

Yes.

[@error-zf9tj]

These are just great!!!

[@Jacob_GHG]

Should i get the 11“for school?

[@AlvinaMuneer]

yeah! it’s a good size! i use the 12.9” personally but i am an illustrator so i need the screen space. it’s also good for taking notes with the apple pencil but i’m buying the magic keyboard since it’s too tiring to write so many notes by hand(especially if you want them to be aesthetically pleasing). so see what model fits your budget and what accessories you want with it😊

[@leenqu1n]

One option I miss from the keyboard is the divided keyboard. There use to be three options: the normal keyboard, the floating keyboard and the divided one they removed it a while ago.

How to make Number appear outside on the top keyboard :(😢

[@McGaby1203]

only for 13 inch ipads including the air, it’s automatic

[@OmarTheOmar1.0offical]

Even for 12.9 inch ipads

[@OmarTheOmar1.0offical]

Because the 11-inch is small and that if the numbers keys are always available, it will take the half of the screen and you need to scroll down to continue typing

[@DeReKiOs]

Why I don’t have tab caps lock and shift on my iPad ???😢

I’m using the iPad 6. I’m try to decide what kind to get next. I’ve had 2 regular iPads and I want to try something new! At first I wanted the latest iPad Air, but now I’m liking the iPad Pros. Maybe a refurbished iPad Pro??

[@FemaleVillageElder]

A refurnished M1 would be excellent. Don’t get anything extra really except hover on the M2 (and MAYBE a little more battery life). Get a 1 tb so you will have extra ram to future proof it for the Apple intelligence features to come.

[@ryn1192]

If you live in the US or Canada, Best Buy is currently selling the Brand New iPad Air (M1) for $399. That is a fantastic deal for that device. You could also get a refurbished iPad Pro for higher price than this if you want ProMotion though.
