[iPad] Everything You Need to Know About the iOS 11 Stock

 


iOS 11 introduces a new Dock. It is conceptually related to the Mac Dock introduced in OS X, and is surprisingly similar. In fact, the biggest difference may be that so far people seem to love the new iOS 11 Dock, whereas there are still beardos who hate the Mac Dock.

Like its Mac counterpart, the iOS 11 Dock packs in a surprising number of features. Lets take a look at them.

Activating the iOS 11 Dock

The Dock is essentially an app launcher, with a few special powers that differentiate it from the other app launchers on iOS, like the Home screen or the ⌘-Tab app switcher. Like the Docks in iOS 10 and earlier, it stays put when you swipe between home screens, only now it can also be summoned when you're inside an app, by simply swiping up from the bottom of the screen.

This gesture was previously reserved for activating the Command Center, and if you keep on swiping up, the Command Center will still appear (as part of a new "Mission Control" app switcher screen).

Another way to activate the Dock while in an app is to hit a new keyboard shortcut on a connected hardware keyboard: ⌘⌥D. This toggles the Dock, sliding it in and out of the bottom of the screen. This lets you quickly check for any notifications, or just access your apps so you can launch one. You can also, like on the Mac, drag a file onto an app in the Dock, or use a special new medium-long tapto pop open a list of an app's most-recently-accessed files.

Recently-used apps

In iOS 11, the Dock is split into two parts. On the left — the largest part — are all the apps you have put there yourself. This is just like the old pre-iOS 11 Docks. Over on the right is a new section of three apps, which are chosen by Siri. These are most likely the apps you have used most recently, but not always. For instance, I use an app to control a guitar effects pedal over Bluetooth, and whenever that app is connected, Siri keeps it at the far right of the Dock, even when I haven't opened it for a while. You can toggle this section on and off in the Settings app, under Settings>General>Multitasking>Show Recents.

Drag-and-drop Dock

The Dock is nice as a plain launcher, but it can also be used with iOS 11's new drag-and-drop features. Perhaps the most important use is as a source for split-view apps. If you're in, say, Safari, you can swipe up to show the Dock, then drag out an app and drop it onto either side of the main screen. It will open in Slide Over view, as a floating window. To turn this into a full Split-View app, just tap the little drag-line at the top of the window.

If you are already in Split View, then dragging an app into either pane will replace that pane with the newly-dragged app.

That's dragging things out of the Dock, but you can also drag things into the Dock. If you're running the beta, try this: In Safari, drag a link down toward the bottom of the screen, and then activate the Dock (you can use a keyboard if you have one connected, but I find the easiest way is to flick up from the bottom of the screen with the thumb of the hand I'm using to drag the link — this really is an easy one-handed operation).

Then, drag that link over an app in the Dock — Mail, Drafts, Notes, anything capable of receiving a link. Hover over the app icon for a moment, then the app icon will flicker and the app will launch. It's the exact-same way it works on macOS. Now, you can keep dragging the link to the place you want to use it, and drop. That explanation makes it seem more complicated than it is, so here's a GIF showing the process:

Dock extras

In the iOS 11 beta, there is one mystery feature that is far from fully-baked, but looks like it could be a killer time-saver. It's a popover which appears when you do a longish tap on an app that supports files — Files app, several music apps, Readdle's apps, and others — and shows you recently-accessed files. You can tap one of these files to open it, but you can also drag a file right out of that popover to open in another app, or send it by mail, iMessage, etc. This is fantastic, because you don't need to actually open an app to get to its files.

This popover is a marriage of app-centric iOS file management, and a Mac-like file system.

In fact, this may be one of the neatest parts of iOS 11's new focus on files, conceptually speaking. It gives you the flexibility to arrange and access your files like you would on a Mac, but still ties those files to the app that created them. Most iOS users are now accustomed to finding their files inside an app. This popover, available in both the Dock and on the home screen, combines both of these, letting you get your files from an app, but use them elsewhere. It's subtle but brilliant.

Arranging the Dock

Follow Cult of Mac's Apps Channel

To get apps into the Dock, you just press an app until it jiggles, and move it into the the Dock. Nothing has changed there. You can also put a folder of apps into the Dock. You could always do this in previous iOSs too, but there was little point. In iOS 11, though, a folder in the Dock is a great idea. Because the only sane way to grab an app to use in Split View is from the Dock, any apps that aren't there are a pain to find. So, you can make a folder of apps that you don't need taking up permanent space in the Dock, but that you use often enough to need quick access to, and drop it in the Dock. Bonus tip: Dragging a file over a folder opens that folder, so you can keep drilling down to the app you want.

The new iOS 11 Dock is one of its nicest features. It ties together the old and the new, and is at once familiar and surprising. Familiar, because it's the same Dock we've had on the Mac for years, and surprising, because it brings so many Mac-like features along with it.

There's lots of room for growth, too. For instance, the Settings app could pop over a list of popular settings when long-pressed, and apps like Slack could offer up a list of recent chats, or recent alerts. The possibilities are many, but even in its current beta state, the new iOS 11 Dock rocks.

[iPad] 11 Gidden Features in iOS 11

 


Apple on Monday released iOS 11 Public Beta 1, which corresponds with the second developer beta that was released just last week. While many of the eager Apple fans who wanted to test iOS 11 already installed the developer beta (whether or not they actually have developer accounts), plenty more wisely waited until Apple had a beta that was stable enough for public consumption.

iOS 11 is no where close to being release ready, of course, but the first iOS 11 Public Beta is definitely stable enough to check out — plus, it's very easy to roll back to iOS 10.3 if you have any issues. You'll find instructions on how to install iOS 11 Public Beta 1 in this post. Once you've got it on your iPhone or iPad, check out the following nifty hidden features.

Talk to Siri without talking: Finally. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Siri and toggle on the "Type to Siri" option. Now you can communicate with Siri by typing instead of only with voice commands.

View older notifications: When you swipe down from the top of the screen now, you get something called a Cover Sheet instead of the old notification center. Making matters even more confusing is the fact that the Cover Sheet looks almost identical to the lock screen, but it only displays a few recent notifications. Want to see the rest? Just swipe up from the middle of the screen.

FaceTime Live Photos: This is a pretty cool new feature that most people probably won't find on their own. Go to FaceTime in the Settings app and toggle on "FaceTime Live Photos." Then, while you're on a FaceTime video call, tap the shutter button to capture a live screenshot.

Convert anything to a PDF: A new button on the iOS share sheet marked "PDF" lets you convert a webpage, photo, or just about anything else to a PDF. You can also mark it up with notes before saving it.

Stop using Apple's new photo format: In iOS 11, Apple switched to a new HEIF/HEVC photo format it claims takes up much less space without compromising quality. Not buying it? Go to Settings > Camera > Formats and switch "High Efficiency" to "Most Compatible."

Do Not Disturb While Driving: iOS 11 has a new feature that can prevent you from using your phone while driving. It's an awesome idea, which makes us wonder why Apple buried it in iOS's settings. Open the Settings app and go to Do Not Disturb. Then, under "Do Not Disturb While Driving," tap Activate and select Manually (you'll have to enable this feature on your own) or "When Connected to Car Bluetooth."

Handwritten emails: Typing is so impersonal. If you want to spice up your emails, long-press in any open space while you're composing a new message or a reply in Apple's Mail app. Then tap "Insert Drawing."

Background App Refresh options: This is a very cool one. Navigate to Settings > General > Background App Refresh > Background App Refresh and you'll see a new option where you can choose whether to allow apps to refresh in the background anytime, or only when you're connected to a Wi-Fi network. This is yet another great way to conserve battery life and cellular data while you're on the go.

Emergency SOS: Navigate to Settings > Emergency SOS, enable the feature, and input your emergency contacts. Then, anytime you tap the power button five times it'll trigger a call to the police and notify your designated contacts. You can also choose whether or not you want a countdown that will delay the SOS function in case you somehow trigger it by mistake.

Continue a note without unlocking the phone: Apple's new Control Center can give users direct access to notes now, which means you won't even have to unlock your device. In Settings > Notes you can designate an amount of time your most recent note will remain accessible.

Worst hidden feature ever: Okay, this last one is definitely a bizarre one. If your power button ever breaks, iOS 11 lets you turn off your phone in the software. Navigate to Settings > General and there's a new "Shut Down" option near the bottom. How will you turn your iPhone or iPad back on if you're not near a wall outlet? Good question… and you're probably better off bringing your phone into Apple and having it repaired.

[iPad] Re: My iPad won't reboot/>in the market for new mini

 

Thanks everyone for your help. The visit to Mac Outpost proved my suspicion - the iPad was toast!
Now I have to decide between a mini4 or the larger iPad. There is only a difference of $30 or so.
Mac Outpost said both were basically the same.
I am really leaning towards the mini, since I love the size, I already have the cover
