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

[@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!

[@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. 😏 😊

[@MrHhesser]

Yes so true.

[@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.😀

[@suzispringfield7376]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@MKRotty]

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

[@BigSaaSsolutions]

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

[@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 🙂

[@hovelad]

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

[@GodblessAmerica856]

I loved the screenshot swipe! Thanks so much!

[@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!

[@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.

[@BonanzaRoad]

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

[@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.

[@andrus54]

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

[@Fiawordweaver]

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

[@ernestoecheandia6965]

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

[@mariposa1933]

ALL THE PDF INFO is amazing. Thank you! 🙏

[@Teeum5]

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

[@ulaus4629]

Thank you. I did learn a few things.

[@tallkeesh]

This was great… more of these please!

[@sonagray3176]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@youdodat2]

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

[@debbiehekel2871]

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

[@Dannsandiego]

Brilliant! Thank you so much.

[@StephenEhrlichPhotos]

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

[@tutubeos]

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

[@rhondaandrus7481]

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

[@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

[@Marauder92V]

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

[@RobloxLynysk]

Yup swipe typing works for me!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

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

[@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.

[@SylvainMenard]

Thank you for these fantastic tips.

[@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!!

[@cachi-7878]

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

[@Diana-007]

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

[@CarlMadsen]

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

[@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.

[@cheska9999]

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

[@marceloriffo1988]

this is a great compilation of features !!!

[@fasttwitchmedia149]

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

[@reuben3454]

Great presentation ! very informative and helpful. Thanks 🙏.

[@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.👍🏻❤️🙏💕

[@danaoldenburg4772]

Cool stuff! (Especially the floating keyboard!)

[@joanabraham2780]

This was fabulous and hugely helpful!

[@vwood2]

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

[@Rigel_Chiokis]

I've had my Apple mini keyboard paired to my iPad Pro for many years now. It makes it much easier to type stuff (considering I learned to type before there were personal computers).

[@TomRamseur]

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

[@kingpuppet5881]

Thanks for the tips. Love your Chanel.

[@carl7105]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@jusadude7162]

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

[@Egg1311]

This was really helpful thank you

[@whbunn]

Long time iPad user, I learned so much. Thanks

[@stephen6378]

Clear concise and learnt something new , thanks

[@marthapelletier530]

Thank you for this.

[@joeserna9533]

Very useful tips... thanks a million.

[@Penny1563]

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

[@Bioluvskatz]

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

[@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!!!

[@andrew5959]

Excellent tips for the mini !!!

[@kcnairnair7299]

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

[@HannesHeinsar]

Very useful. Though i know many trick, but there were several new.

[@valeriemanners7796]

Scanning within files is a great tip! Wish I would have known this sooner!

[@abbaming2406]

No way! Thank you for these tips!❤

[@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! 💯

[@PatNetherlander]

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

[@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. “°”

[@MicrobyteAlan]

Thanks interesting, as a longtime iPad’r, I found things I didn’t know.

[@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!

[@_drift3r_]

The split keyboard is awesome!

[@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 🙏🏻

[@DanielNoblett1111]

Excellent stuff! I have owned several iPad mini over the years, lots of stuff I didn't know.

[@jaime922]

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

[@gerhardschelkmann3228]

Thx a lot. Great video 👍

[@Amybaumgart]

I SO APPRECIATE your videos!! Question - you mentioned a usb c web cam, can one also use the iPhone like we can on our Mac?

[@robertbe2520]

This is brilliant! Thanks.

[@estherturner2232]

Thank you so much for all the information. Some I will definitely use some not thank you☘️☘️

[@orbie667]

This is cool! Im on mobile or ipad and i find this very helpful!

[@Phxshadowz]

Thank you for this video !!

[@GeorgeMCMLIX]

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

[@bjones4097]

I found this very useful, especially the Bluetooth device bit at the end as I prefer using a mouse to touchscreen.

[@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 😊

[@andrejstemmle606]

Thanks 4 this very interesting and informative video. It seems that the "Split Keyboard" doesn‘t work on the M1 iPad Air 5 as well. But it works on my 3rd. iPad 9th. Generation. Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭

[@standupmoto]

Thanks mate👍 Very helpful.

[@Jorda5s]

Guided access is pretty cool when presenting photos to my clients it would be really helpful. Does it also hide notifications?

[@akfisher7138]

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

[@evans3332]

How to scan a document into a pdf and the setting to swipe from bottom left to take a screenshot game changer. Thank you for all the tips.

[@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.
