Читать книгу iPad and iPad Pro For Dummies - Paul McFedries - Страница 37

As I discuss in Chapter 1, by default your iPad comes with two Home screen pages, indicated by the row of two tiny dots that appear just above the dock. After you start adding apps from the App Store (see Chapter 10), that row might expand to three or more dots. Each dot denotes a Home screen page, each of which can contain up to 30 additional icons (depending on your iPad model), not counting the additional icons on your iPad’s dock. You can have up to 15 Home screen pages. You can also have more or fewer icons on your dock, but I can’t think of a decent reason why you’d want to ditch any of them. In any case, more on these in a moment.

Here’s what you need to know about navigating among the Home screen pages:

 To navigate between pages, flick from right to left or left to right across the middle of the screen or tap directly on the dots. The number of dots you see represents the current number of Home screen pages on your iPad. The all-white dot denotes the page you’re currently viewing. Flicking from left to right from the first Home screen page brings up the aforementioned Today screen.

 Make sure you flick and not just tap, or you’ll probably open one of the apps on the current screen instead of switching pages.

 If your iPad has a Home button, press the Home button to jump back to the Home screen. You can also swipe up from the bottom of the screen. Doing so the first time takes you back to the last-viewed Home screen page. A second time takes you to the first Home screen page.

  You can now put as many as 15 apps and as few as none on the dock. The dock also shows the three most recently opened apps on the right side of the divider line, making for a quick return to an app. (If you don't see recent apps on the dock, launch Settings, tap Home Screen & Dock, and then tap the Show Suggested and Recent Apps in Dock switch to on.) You can access the dock from an open app by swiping up a short way from the bottom of your screen.
