Here’s a tip that never fails to amaze my friends and relatives when I show it to them. It may seem a little “meh” when you read about it, but try it and you’ll be sharing this quick “get to home” trick on your iPad, your parents’ iPad, and maybe even the iPad of strangers in the coffee shop.
Just being able to keep your tapping fingers near the screen, without having to drop down to the Home button, is a time and brain saver that should make your workflow on the iPad just that much better in your day to day interaction.
Touch all five of your fingers to the iPad screen when spread out, like a “spider,” and then pinch them in to “the claw.” Seriously, I know it sounds like some weird martial arts move, but do it anyway, and you’ll be hooked.
So, to repeat: pinch all of your fingers in on the iPad screen, from any app you’re in, to go to the Home screen. Simple, easy, and very Apple.
