iPad User Magazine - UK (2020-03)

If you’re bored with

Safari, or tend to

switch device types,

Microsoft’s Edge web browser

is a great option. Now built on

Google’s Chromium base,

Edge is secure, fast and easy

to navigate. Edge also is

available on macOS, Android

and Windows 10, so you can

sign in to your Microsoft

account to sync data (history

and passwords) and easily jump

from one device to another. The

browser comes with built-in

tracking prevention options and

ad blocking, so you can rest

assured that your surfing is

safe and secure. Edge is also

part of Microsoft’s Rewards

programme, enabling you to

earn rewards for using Bing as

your search engine. Other

features include a reading list,

private browsing (InPrivate) and

a customisable favourites bar.

Check your internet

connection in one

tap with SpeedTest.

The app tests upload speed,

download speed, ping and

jitter to give you an accurate

report. You can also view your

IP address, service provider and

location. All results are saved

and can be shared as an image.

Whether you run a

local yoga group or

a lucrative business,

chances are you have a page

on Facebook. If you do, create

events, post updates and reply

to messages all from your phone

with the Pages Manager app. You

can also view page insights, list

jobs, view and reply to messages

and promote posts and adverts.

Having issues with

your Apple kit? Apple

Support is a handy

app that allows you to quickly

identify issues and fixes for

most problems. You can also

call Apple Support or schedule

a Genius Bar appointment

straight from the app. The Apple

Support app includes a handy

guide to iPadOS’ features, with

step-by-step instructions.

Pocket is a great

way to save all the

articles, stories and

web pages you read in a single

place. Save pages with tags, and

read them offline. You can also

have Pocket read out an article.

Upgrade to create a permanent

library, use full-text search and

access premium fonts.

Google’s security app allows

you to log into your Google

account and services using

a one-time code. It replaces SMS codes,

but gives the same level of security with

a code that changes every 60 seconds.
