Screen
Time
You can now set up the
Screen Time feature,
which is a useful
function. Screen Time
shows you how much
time you’ve spent on
your iPad, broken
down by app, across
the last day or seven
days. You can also add
parental controls and
block in-app
purchases. We cover
Screen Time in depth
later in this book. You
can set it up now or in
Settings later.

iPad & App
Analytics
The iPad and App
Analytics screens are
straightforward. They
ask if you want to share
diagnostic information
first with Apple and then
with third-party app
developers. You can
change your decisions
later, in the Settings app.
Go to Privacy >
Analytics and customise
what you want to share.
For now, tap the button
or the link to continue.

Light or Dark
Mode
This is new in iPadOS.
Choose whether you set
your iPad to appear in
Light or Dark Mode by
default. Whichever you
decide, you can change
it later in the Settings
app. There then follows
a series of ’tips’
screens; read and tap
Continue on each. You
then see a screen
saying ‘Welcome to
iPad’. Tap Get Started,
at the foot of the screen,
and you’re done.
Reset to Factory Settings.
If your iPad came second-hand, you might need to wipe
it clean before setting it up again. Here’s how it’s done.
First of all, from the
Home screen, open
the Settings app. Tap
the General link in the
left-hand column, and
then scroll all the way
down to the bottom in
the right link, and tap
the Reset option. On
the next screen, as
shown here, you
should tap the second
option from the top,
which is labelled
Erase All Content
and Settings.
When prompted, you
should enter the iPad’s
passcode. If your iPad
came second-hand,
you might need to get
this from its previous
owner. A pop-up
window appears,
inviting you to continue
with the erase, or
cancel. Tap Erase. Just
to be sure, another
pop-up window now
appears, which again
invites you to continue
to erase, or to cancel.
Tap Erase.
If your iPad is still
signed in to its previous
owner’s Apple ID, you
need to enter the
password for his or her
Apple ID in order to sign
it out before resetting.
Obviously, you need to
get this from the iPad’s
previous owner. Enter
the password, and the
iPad restarts, erasing all
content and settings.
You can then set it up
from scratch, as if it was
fresh out of the box.
