Keep an eye on the apps currently running on your device. You’ll find they quickly build up in numbers. If you would like to view the current apps that are running, double click the Home icon.

Tablet typing isn’t simple. A simple way to enter text is to use the speech dictation function. Just double click your home button and you’ll then want to tap on the microphone icon. Record yourself talking, tap the microphone button again and a transcription of your speech will appear.
Shortcuts will help you send messages quickly. For example, tapping the space bar twice when typing a sentence will add a period and a space. That removes the need for you to manually do this, and you have more time to message friends.
