iPhone and iPad Basics

Version 1.0, published September 30, 2024
iPhones and iPads were intended to be easy to use, but over the years, a lot of complexity has crept in. As a result, most of us-even those who have been using these devices for years-jump through unnecessary hoops to perform basic tasks and overlook helpful but less-than-obvious features. This book walks you through everything you need to know to navigate your device with ease.
Apple doesn't include an instruction manual with iPhones or iPads, assuming that you'll search the web to learn how to do anything you can't easily figure out. That's a pity, because it spells frustration for new users and means a great deal of your fancy device's power may go unused. Josh Centers is here to help with iPhone and iPad Basics, a friendly guide to all the information Apple never gave you.
Do you know the difference between the Lock Screen and the Home Screen? What Control Center is and how to customize it? How to use a share sheet? What to do when you get too many annoying notifications? How to find apps in a sea of icons? Ways to run multiple apps at the same time on an iPad? Those are just a few of the topics Josh explains in detail.
