Turning screenshots into PDF's is a game-changer. Great job pointing out who simple the task is to accomplish. I need to try that on my iPhone more often because I forget the feature is even possible. Same goes with full page PDF's. Keep up the great work!

[@Ginnyvelarde]

As always….. very informative. At age 77, I don’t understand it all, but there is always something I find helpful. Thanks for sharing !

[@herb601]

We have something in common. I too am 77!!! 🙂

[@alastairmc]

Beat you! I'm 78!@@herb601

[@edwardowens7944]

I am 81. Let’s not use age as an excuse.

[@dianeweeks352]

I just finished leafing through all six hundred and some pages of the user guide for my new iPad and found quite a few things I hope to explore further, which I took screen shots of and put them in photos for reference later. I found that most things it can do I am not interested in since at 84 I have narrowed my hobbies to those I really enjoy.

[@TayWoode]

I doubt a 7yr old would understand either, theyve had it shown to them just like things you could do at 7 couldn’t be done by one today

[@g2me194]

Unbelievable, as an old guy I consider myself pretty savvy with computers. But this blew my mind. I didn’t know any of the features you showed. Just happened to see you channel. I’ll have to watch several more times. Great job. What else do i not know. Getting old is exciting when you can learn new things.

[@maggiemae987]

I believe it’s so much fun now for a few reasons. One, we’re too tired to hiking and the such, and for the second one I’m speaking For Me, I will learn something “New” that I already knew….just forgot. 😂😂😂 I have to take screenshots with my phone if there’s quite a few steps In completing a task. 😏 😊

[@SuziePenguin]

Switching between the regular keyboard and the floating keyboard with a long press is a game changer for me, serious thanks for this video. Please keep the iPad videos coming. I find your voice soothing and your explanations helpful and easy to implement.

[@dragonballjiujitsu]

I've been using an iPad for years and still learned some new things from this video. Thank you!

[@suzispringfield7376]

Young Tom! I’m applying to be your standby Nan! Excellent clear, concise and informative videos … thank you so much!

[@paultrewin5871]

You never cease to amaze me with the quality of your information. And so easy to watch too. Thank you so much. I have an iPad Air and I use about 1% of its capabilities. More now, thanks to you.😀

[@dsigetich]

I gather some folks didn’t know about the swipe down feature on the keyboard. You could also mention that some keys, if pressed and held, pop up any accents that apply. I don’t know them all, but pressing and holding a gives 11 accent options, e gives 9, and n produces four accent options.

[@Rinnara21]

This couldn’t have come in more handy as tomorrow I’ll be picking up my very first iPad. Will definitely be trying your great tips 😊

[@christienelson1437]

Being patients and practicing every day will make using your iPad enjoyable. Make it fun and you will love it.

[@zolingroden3587]

THANK YOU!!!!! Your video are so helpful. There are so many things I did not know I could do with the iPad and thanks to your videos I can pass this information along to my 80 year old mother.

[@slc1161]

I have arthritis and learning the swipe option and the alternate keys are a game changer for me! Thanks!

[@k-cmccann9594]

Wow. So much productive information. Thank you.

[@ChristopherBriscoe]

PRICELESS! As a know-at-all, who uses his iPad several times an hour, I knew about 2 of these things. Many thanks for this.

[@hovelad]

Yet again a few items I didn't know despite using iPads for years! Thanks.

[@tutubeos]

I didn’t know the screenshot from the corner. Great! I was using Siri to take those

[@helencooper286]

Great video, but even better: you make a written version! I hate the current trend to make everything a video, and you’re the only person I’ve come across in this field who offers written options. Thank you!

[@MKRotty]

Just discovered your channel and have learned SO much, including using the swipe function on the floating keyboard!!! You are the BEST!!

[@toriasummers2670]

Thank you soooooooooooo much for an incredibly helpful video. As others here, I've been an iPad user for many years and didn't know most of the tips you shared - I'm so very grateful, my iPad can now be put to more use, keep the excellent videos coming - from another new subscriber 🙂

[@BigSaaSsolutions]

Thank you. Very helpful. Screenshot is now so much easier. Your awesome

[@letiziasparks2902]

Thank you for the informative video, I'm still navigating through all the useful function on my iPad mini 6 at the 1 year mark, I learned some new functions and that will increase my productivity. I wish everyone well!

[@Egg1311]

This was really helpful thank you

[@BonanzaRoad]

Thanks for this very informative video…jam packed with useful tips!

[@GodblessAmerica856]

I loved the screenshot swipe! Thanks so much!

[@SylvainMenard]

Thank you for these fantastic tips.

[@mariposa1933]

ALL THE PDF INFO is amazing. Thank you! 🙏

[@chrisstout8451]

There are extra characters and symbols underneath the shown keyboard characters. Hold on the keys and it will display these. Not all keys have extra characters. I find the 0 held is nice because you can get to the temperature (degrees) symbol. “°”

[@Marauder92V]

You keep amazing me with the knowledge you have of these products. Keep up the great work!

[@tallkeesh]

This was great… more of these please!

[@StephenEhrlichPhotos]

I have been watching your videos for years. Always helpful. Thanks!!!

[@Diana-007]

Really great tips and your voice is so relaxing! Thank you.

[@RobloxLynysk]

Yup swipe typing works for me!

[@rhondaandrus7481]

❤My favorite tips were the PDF & Split Screen View options 🎉 Thank you for such an informative video!

[@ernestoecheandia6965]

Excellent piece! I understand why iPhone get the most love but I learn the most when you address iPad and Macbook. Thanks mate!!

[@user-kc2zn7vs8p]

WOW!! Very enlightening and informative. Obviously, I haven't even begun to tap into the capabilities of my Ipad. Thank you for the video.

[@Teeum5]

Thanks for this video which showed some features I didn’t know.

[@marceloriffo1988]

this is a great compilation of features !!!

[@carl7105]

I've got so many tips from you thanks, lovely first instruction and a lovely calming voice :)

[@Dannsandiego]

Brilliant! Thank you so much.

[@cachi-7878]

I knew a few of these but some are really handy, like the screenshot swipe, which is pure gold! Thanks honest Abe.

[@ulaus4629]

Thank you. I did learn a few things.

[@user-bb9zs9xw6g]

1:49. Love your videos!! You speak very well to understand things. I have trouble with so many people who talk to fast. Your tips are fantastic! I plan to try them to make things easier. I especially enjoyed the scanning tip and the multi tasking. Need this badly. My sister is taking on a business and I will tell her your tips and to watch you. Last thing, I would like to know more about the shortcuts app. I have been using them but need help on some aspects. Thanks so much!!

[@cheska9999]

Thank you! The screen shot info is a life changer for me!

[@user-es2ju9np9s]

Thank you for producing these tips. I have just got a basic iPad (9th generation) and this helps me to understand how to configure it.

[@kennykolourinc1250]

excellent video I have learned a few things that will help me work with my iPad plus I will be going back to your video to learn some more…thank you

[@joanabraham2780]

This was fabulous and hugely helpful!

[@marthapelletier530]

Thank you for this.

[@ronjon7942]

This was brilliant. Scanning to pdf in Files just removed a particular app from all my ipads - always a good thing. I had no idea for most of your tips, and the few I was aware of, I had no idea of the refined tuning that could be done. Loved and sub’ed. I seem to be on my tablets constantly; this episode will save me so much time, as well as letting me do things I thought could only be done on MacOS.

[@andrus54]

Did not know about holding the drawing and it will clean it up. Thank you this is cool and useful.

[@Bevieevans8]

I've watched a few of your videos now relevant to me and all have been helpful thank you. You now have another subscriber 😊

[@Fiawordweaver]

COOL FEATURE TO MAKE A SMALL FLOATING KPAD. Corner swipe screen shot-brilliant. Pairing-brilliant 🎉THANK YOU!!!🎉🎉🎉

[@peterhulance5390]

Thank you. Some tips I wasn’t aware of and as I use my iPad in the workplace this will greatly improve my productivity.

[@andrew5959]

Excellent tips for the mini !!!

[@Bioluvskatz]

Quite a few that caught me by surprise! Thanks so much!!

[@vwood2]

Fantastic tutorial! Though I’m a long time user, several of these tips were new to me. Thanks 🙏🏼

[@stephen6378]

Clear concise and learnt something new , thanks

[@jusadude7162]

Wow!! I learned so much. Thank you!!

[@debbiehekel2871]

I am so glad to learn about the easy way to switch between floating and docked keyboard.

[@reuben3454]

Great presentation ! very informative and helpful. Thanks 🙏.

[@gerhardschelkmann3228]

Thx a lot. Great video 👍

[@robertbe2520]

This is brilliant! Thanks.

[@kingpuppet5881]

Thanks for the tips. Love your Chanel.

[@abbaming2406]

No way! Thank you for these tips!❤

[@GeorgeMCMLIX]

Brilliant video!! I’ll be watching this several times as so much useful content 👍🏻 Thank you 🙏🏻 Also subscribed.

[@whbunn]

Long time iPad user, I learned so much. Thanks

[@PatNetherlander]

Great content mate. Didn’t know a few of them. Many thnx!

[@JimGriffin]

Wow...awesome video! I've kinda struggled with getting the most out of my iPads...so this is going to help tremendously! 👍 😎 👏 Thanks! Great channel BTW...always something of interest! 💯

[@youdodat2]

Wow! Using the split keyboard! Pretty cool. Thanks.

[@joeserna9533]

Very useful tips... thanks a million.

[@fbelluco-zw7cj]

KZbin doesn't often recommend good new channels, but when it does it's channels like this one here! Great useful content! You got yourself a new follower!

[@Penny1563]

Thank you! I’ve had an iPad for years and did not know these! Awesome!!

[@cprhroaehssneteonr5488]

Another thing with guided access: if you enable TouchID/FaceID for it in settings, you can double click the top button to use that to get out of guided access quickly.

[@Phxshadowz]

Thank you for this video !!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Wow! Some really good tips in this video. Lots of stuff I had no idea about. 👍

[@danaoldenburg4772]

Cool stuff! (Especially the floating keyboard!)

[@shiranmallikarachchi7820]

Worth video.learned lot.thanks ❤

[@CarlMadsen]

Awesome thank you. Didn't realize about the external webcam or the shelf on split view, thanks again!

[@jaime922]

thanks for this video, these are the best tips I heard in a long time!

[@TomRamseur]

I can’t believe I didn’t know this stuff. Period. Thank you very much!

[@magnificentmuttley2084]

Mate, I don’t know your name but thank you, for one of the most informative videos I have seen. This is why KZbin was created, to entertain, teach and communicate but also to help. Great instructional video. You have provided a lot of great tips there and I intend to probably use all of them at some point. Definitely worth a like and subscription. I intend to go through your entire catalogue now! Best regards from the Giant’s Causeway coast. 😄👍☘️

[@jerrymoreno1714]

Great tips and informative vid!

[@cu4wur6023]

Extremely helpful. I need to watch it again but definitely an eye opener. I have an iPad Pro and to a certain extent too afraid to try out these features incase I can’t get but off the screen 🤣 Thank you 🙏🏻

[@jon10231]

Giod job. There were several things I learned. Changing marks to designed shapes will be really useful as I mark up pictures all the time. Thanks

[@dh2970]

Swipe Text!!! - I have been Google searching for that one for years and never found it. Thanks!!

[@DanielHarrisCodes]

I’m hoping they bring it to the docked keyboard at some point. Would be really useful on larger iPads like the 12.9 Pro. I get used to it on my Surface Pro and when I switch to my iPad realise I have to use the floating keyboard

[@dh2970]

@@DanielHarrisCodes Agreed!!!

[@kcnairnair7299]

This is wonderful! Have been using my iPad wrong, all along. Thank you!

[@sonagray3176]

Great vid….I turned on Accessibility Shortcut: AssistiveTouch and Multitasking & Gestures for Screenshots

[@OO7JAMS]

Excellent video 👏 Great hidden gems

[@jonchalk3855]

The swipe down on the top row (keyboard) is very handy and also explained by sometimes I accidentally type a number. Now I know. The scan to PDF is really handy. Especially when my third-party scanning apps misbehave. The ability to turn a messy circle, square, or other basic shapes into a "perfect" shape is a great thing to know. The corner gesture is also very useful. However, the ability to press and hold the keyboard icon does not do anything on an iPad 6th gen. Glad I watched this video. I learned several new things today. Once I have spare mice, I will try the trick. Thank you.

[@_drift3r_]

The split keyboard is awesome!

[@nejaziB]

This is awesome

[@shirleyw8720]

Fantastic thanks!

[@fasttwitchmedia149]

I finally figured out resizing the floating keyboard!!!!

[@christienelson1437]

The tips about the keyboard is awesome for me. Often interactive sites that involve filling out forms become impossible to use when the keyboard is in the way.👍🏻❤️🙏💕

[@RojamZane]

🤯Corner swipe to create screen cap... 🤯 Drawing arrows... 🤯highlighting in straight lines... I've had iPad since the very first and thought I was pretty much up on the features as they've been added. Everyday is a school day - excellent content.

[@standupmoto]

Thanks mate👍 Very helpful.

[@akfisher7138]

the pdf scanning tip staright to your folder of choice is cool...great for digitising documents.

[@hettytravels]

Very good!

[@juthamartsangpukdee819]

I love this video so much because I’m on iPad and this is so useful😊

[@istiquritconsultant]

So informative 🎉

[@elisabethlafontaine8979]

Thank you for this video - that’s the most useful thing I’ve found in 7 years of having an iPad!

[@redbank542]

Learnt a lot there thanks
