There are so many great things about our iPads, and some of them are easy to overlook or forget. We’ve put together ten of our favorite hints, tips, and shortcuts, and we think you’ll want to study and learn them all.

Use Do Not Disturb for Others

You probably think of the do not disturb (DND) feature as a way of keeping your iPad from bugging you while you are sleeping, in a meeting, or just don't want to be bothered. But DND can also help you be considerate to your family, roommates, or fellow office workers. If you're going to leave your iPad behind when you go somewhere, activate do not disturb to keep your notifications from bothering everyone else! You can activate DND by swiping down from the upper-right corner of the screen to open Control Center and then tapping the quarter moon icon, as we explain in Chapter 15.
