Additional Tips for Managing Your Apps
Use the Offload Feature
If you’re looking to free up storage space on your iPad, you can use the “Offload App” feature. This will delete the app from your device, but keep the app’s data and documents. This way, if you decide to reinstall the app in the future, your data will still be there. To use this feature, go to Settings > General > iPad Storage. Scroll down to find the app you want to offload and tap on it. Then, tap “Offload App” and confirm.
Organize Your Apps
If you have a lot of apps on your iPad, it can be helpful to organize them into folders. To create a folder, press and hold an app icon until it starts to wiggle. Then, drag the app on top of another app and release. This will create a folder with both apps inside. You can rename the folder by tapping on the name and typing in a new one. You can also drag and drop apps into different folders to keep them organized.
Use the App Library
The App Library is a new feature introduced in iOS 14 that automatically organizes your apps into categories. This can be helpful if you have a lot of apps and don’t want to spend time organizing them into folders. To access the App Library, swipe left on your home screen until you reach the last page. Then, swipe left again to access the App Library. You can also search for specific apps in the App Library by typing in the search bar at the top.
