How to Extend the Life of an iPad?

Gadgets too have a life which depletes when used a lot. Laptops, iPad, iPhones, etc couldn’t be expected to work more than their usual working life. Instead, they start slowing down before time. Every time a gadget slows down its speed, you don’t even try to fix it and rather replace it to avoid any annoyance.

Apple’s iPad is expected to run for a longer time, but at some point, it slows down as well and starts reflecting storage alerts all the time.

Below mentioned are the six ways to increase the life of an iPad instead of replacing and investing in a whole new gadget, when the old one can just work fine.

Software Updates

Apple keeps updating the new versions for your devices that fix bugs if any and improves the performance of your gadget. It also introduces new features, and software updates are must for your Apple devices.

You can turn on software update settings automatically, and the steps are:

  • Go to ‘Settings.’
  • Click on the ‘General’ button and then tap ‘Software Update.’
  • Turn on the slider for ‘Automatic Updates,’ that will keep updating your device automatically.

You can update your device manually as well in the ‘Software Update’ tab.

Clear Unused Applications

Your device consists of so many applications and media that is unnecessary. A lot of storage in your gadget can slow down its speed, which is why it is essential to clear such data once in a month. It is not restricted to media and applications, the same goes for gaming folders as well. Large files must be deleted every once in a while.

You can view the space taken by each application or folder, follow the steps below:

  • Go to ‘Settings.’
  • Tap on the ‘General’ button and then go to the ‘iPad Storage.’
  • In a few seconds, all the applications and space taken by them will appear on the screen. You can now analyse what to delete and what to keep.

Use a Keyboard and Trackpad for your iPad

In any case, your iPad’s touch stops working or creating any issues, doesn’t mean you have to replace it with a new one. You can still work with the old iPad, all you need to do is, connect a Keyboard and Trackpad. iPadOS 13.5 supports the working of a Trackpad.

If you’re bored with the gadget you’re currently using, attaching accessories like these will give you a new dimension.

Resolve Battery Issues

The battery creates issues when a gadget is used for a more extended time than its expected period. To keep your gadget’s battery life handy, here are the few tips or tricks to follow:

  • Battery depends upon the brightness of the screen. Turning down your brightness saves battery, and thus, your device can work for an extra few minutes.
  • Closing the applications in the background also affects your gadget’s battery life.
  • Avoid using your device in a scorching environment as it can cause damage to the battery.
  • In case, you’re travelling somewhere and leaving your device behind, which means it’ll not be used for a while, do not leave it completely charged. Instead, leave your device with half the battery.

Keep Your Device Clean

One of the most important things to save your gadget from any harm is keeping it away from dirt. Make sure to clean your iPad ports and buttons for it to function properly.

Use a smooth brush or a cloth to remove the dirt from your iPad and keep it in a case to avoid any wear and tear.

Back up your iPad

Backing up your iPad time-to-time helps a lot. Even if you have an old iPad, backup is important. The steps to backup your device are:

  • Go to ‘Settings.’
  • Click on the profile by your name on the top of the screen.
  • In the iCloud tab, click on the ‘iCloud backup’ option and turn the slider on for the same.

This is how your iPad will automatically backup every night when it’s connected to Wi-Fi and connected to charge.
