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!!

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.

Thank you for highlighting your tips in the transcript. So many producers neglect to do this making the tips hard to locate in the transcript for easy reference.

[@twiddowson]

This was by far the BEST tips and tricks video I have ever seen. Especially the first few tips. Most just rehash the same stuff that everyone already knows. THANK YOU!

[@mmsquare1273]

M2 iPad Pro 12.9. I’m a new user. You video has been extremely helpful. It’s frustrating going from PC to my new device. I love Coreldraw but haven’t found that on iPad

[@this_katharsis2227]

Damn I actually learned some new tricks. Good video

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!

[@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 🙏.

[@MargoFromTheDesert]

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

[@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.

[@rogeroshea3490]

Great video Brandon - love your Apple weekly videos 😀 -Great tips especially copying photos that I didn’t know Question how do you have the Numbers permanently showing in iPad keypad ? Tks

[@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 😊

[@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”.

[@samramirez4595]

Just saved this video. So many things to learn. Thank you, 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.

[@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.

[@GerardHammond]

iPad daily user since the beginning and didn’t know these. Awesome

[@winc06]

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

[@BrandonButch]

I'll work on another!

[@rjrentie1107]

same i truly need more hidden tricks

[@impetuousvirgo3410]

I’ve been using my iPad Pro 11 (2020) more often than I ever have & I feel so terrible I hadn’t been using it 😓. I hope I still have time, updates, & no battery issues to come.

[@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!!

[@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.

[@MoneyDoc8989]

I consider myself an iPad “expert”, but I always learn something new from you. You are amazing. Part 2 please!!

[@BrandonButch]

Thanks, glad to hear it! I’ll start working on it soon

[@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.

[@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! 🙌

[@MotoNORMative]

Forget a like. These great tips earned you a subscription dude. THANKS! I’m on the go and do 85% or more of my computing on my iPad. You just made my life a lot easier!

[@robertstad8796]

I have been using an iPad for ages and learned some very nice new tricks. So yes a part 2 video please.

[@rickcoburn4231]

Very good…I have been using an iPad for years and thought this video would be a rehash of other videos…boy, was I wrong. Very well done with unique tips!

[@ritagraham6703]

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

[@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

[@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

[@jimaspinii7579]

I just discovered this 4 month old video. Is there already a part 2 created? This is wonderful !!!

[@Shaaydiia07]

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. 😊🤍👍

[@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.

[@pathanianushka]

@Brandonbutch great video!! But in mine there is no shift or tab button!! Moreover can we use right n left click using just keypad

[@Sinclair7563]

13” iPad Air bought in May 2024. Fantastic tips, many I did not know about. Please show more. Great videos with clear explanations. Apple should pay you 💵

[@frances7885]

I have an iPad 12 pro and love it, do you have tips for Procreate? I will just love my iPad more with a few of your tips! Thank you.

[@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!

[@denhouse1]

Just got the iPad 13 inch and I would love to see another video of your tips and tricks awesome

[@FNJ720]

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.

[@georgeroukas7399]

This was great. I’ve been using iPads since they first came out and learned a few great tricks. Thanks!

[@v3n0s]

Mindblowing the format of external drives on ipad…🤯

Amazing Video Brandon thanks a lot for the video , please get some more videos for the iPad as this was really helpful as your videos are really simple to understand , Thanks again

[@mon_sky6637]

My life will get SO MUCH easier after this video ❤

[@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

[@ginnyperott8212]

I would really like to see a part 2 of this video. It was so awesome!

[@lorianderson199]

Great job. I have a hard time with the gestures. But, since I use an external keyboard and pencil I don’t worry about it.

[@johnclarke6647]

I like the one finger gesture😊

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

[@davidnagy510]

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

[@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.

[@AZ-nv3hu]

Awesome, Part 2 pls. Thank you.

[@RachelleKS]

Good morning, thank you for your awesome videos! The tip where your spacing handwriting, I am not getting that to work! Every time I press my Apple Pencil it just activates handwriting and make some mark. I’m doing this in my Notes app, on a screenshot that I have saved in notes. What am I doing wrong because I love that feature!

[@cva5616]

Really awesome! Many thanks! Hope to see more of these stuff. By the way, watching the video on new 13 IPad 2024!

What is the watch band you’re wearing? Great video!

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.

[@ashd691]

Thanks very much I am new to my iPad was regretting it until the keep downloaded option great stuff!

[@pierremaurice8246]

How did you add the fifth number row? 😮

[@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…

[@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

[@MyDogSteppedOnaBeee]

Props for the tricks! I believe you can swype to text with the mini keyboard on the iPad

[@Uluc994]

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

[@joffalab]

I’m using new iPad Pro 13. That was a great video, wasn’t away of most of those tips!

[@sowza1]

Some good tips! Wish the 11” could have a swipe to separate the keyboard or even finger drag to type. I don’t use an external keyboard. Nor do I want one. The mini has it….

[@anuarruslanuly4523]

You can also just swipe with 2 fingers to select stuff instead of pressing select

[@stratman103]

Great video Brandon. I really wish they would enable swipe type on the iPad keyboard. I have the M1 Air 5th Gen 11".

[@FireFoxDestroyer]

You can do that by making it a floating keyboard

[@jeffhale1189]

Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day.

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

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

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)

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😊
