HOW TO: Schedule Do Not Disturb
01ZOOM THE PAGE
Tap the View menu button ( AA) and use the two different A buttons to quickly adjust the zoom level for that tab alone (or use command + - and command + +). This level is used for all new tabs for the site until you make a further change.
02DEFINE SETTINGS
Still in the View menu, tap Website Settings. In the pane that appears, you can define the settings and permissions for the current site. Use Settings ≥ Safari or return to this pane to adjust your changes in the future.
03FIND IN PAGE
Finding terms within a page now works like Safari for Mac. Type a term in the address bar, and tap ‘Find “[term]”’ (or use command-F if using a keyboard). All matches will be highlighted, so you needn’t cycle through them.
04FIND IN TABS
Got a million tabs open? Fairly sure one of them contains something you need to get to? Type a search term in the address bar. Switch to Tab will provide a single-tap means of getting at the relevant web page.
05ARRANGE TABS
Long-tap a Safari tab in iPadOS and you get access to a tab management menu. Within, you can copy the tab’s URL, close other tabs, or opt to arrange your tabs by title or website. Useful for getting a bit more organised.
06SAVE ALL TABS
Previously, long-tapping the bookmark button only let you add the current tab as a bookmark – or send its contents to Reading List. Now, you can also add the set of current open tabs to a user-named bookmarks folder.
07AUTO- CLOSE TABS
If over time you tend to end up with dozens of open tabs, and want rid of the clutter, head to Settings ≥ Safari. In the Tabs section, tap Close Tabs, and choose how quickly open tabs should be consigned to history.
08DRAG- OPEN LINKS
Tapping a link on iPad has long opened a web page in Safari. But you may now prefer opening a link alongside your existing app in Split View. To do so, tap and hold the link and drag it to the left or right of the screen.
09SMART SHARE
Tap the Share button. You’ll see a small Options button underneath the tab’s name. Tap that and Safari enables you to define how you’d prefer the page to be sent when sharing it – including as a minimal Reader PDF.
10DOWNLOAD FILES
Downloads are finally handled in a sensible manner. Tap the downloads button to see what’s downloading, and the magnifying glass to view the file in iCloud Drive/ Downloads (you can change this location in Settings).
11USE SHORTCUTS
If you’ve a physical keyboard connected to your iPad, tap and hold ç. Yep, there are loads of new keyboard shortcuts, again showcasing Apple’s desire to make its iPad browser desktop-grade. Commit them all to memory!
12GRAB FULL PAGES
It used to be a pain to stitch together multiple screen grabs of lengthy web pages. Now, take a grab, tap it before it slides off-screen, and select Full Page. You’ll see the entire web page, ready to send as a PDF.
