There is no denying that an iPad is an amazing tool. You can type, sing, draw or record yourself in action; the possibilities are virtually endless!

Which apps are running? Sometimes, the current apps will not be visible in the foreground. Click the Home button twice to see which are open right now. The more you have running, the more battery you’ll use, so close those you don’t need. Swipe your finger in a downward motion to close the window.
