Customize IPad

Arrange your apps

Touch and hold any app on the Home screen until it jiggles, then drag apps around. Drag an app to the edge of the screen to move it to a different Home screen, or to the Dock at the bottom of the screen. Press the Home button to save your arrangement.

Create a new Home screen. While arranging apps, drag an app to the right edge of the rightmost Home screen. The dots above the Dock show which of your Home screens you're viewing.

When iPad is connected to your computer, you can customize the Home screen using iTunes. In iTunes, select iPad, then click Apps.

Start over. Go to Settings > General > Reset, then tap Reset Home Screen Layout to return the Home screen and apps to their original layout. Folders are removed and the original wallpaper is restored.

Organize with folders

Create a folder. While arranging apps, drag one app onto another. Tap the name of the folder to rename it. Drag apps to add or remove them. Press the Home button when you finish.

You can have multiple pages of apps in a folder.

Delete a folder. Drag out all the apps-the folder is deleted automatically.

Change the wallpaper

Wallpaper settings let you set an image or photo as wallpaper for the Lock screen or Home screen.

Change the wallpaper. Go to Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness.

Adjust the screen brightness

Go to Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness and drag the slider. If Auto-Brightness is on, iPad adjusts the screen brightness for current light conditions using the built-in ambient light sensor.

You can also adjust the screen brightness in Control Center.
