After you start adding apps from the iTunes App Store (which you discover in Chapter 11), you may see a row of two or more tiny dots just above the main apps parked at the bottom of the screen. Those dots denote additional Home screens each containing up to 20 additional icons, not counting the 4 to 6 separate icons docked at the bottom of each of these Home screens. You can have up to 15 Home screens. You can also have fewer docked icons at the bottom of the Home screen, but we can’t think of a decent reason why you’d want to ditch any of them. In any case, more on these in a moment.
Here’s what you need to know about navigating among the screens:
✓ To navigate between screens, flick your finger from right to left or left to right across the middle of the screen, or tap directly on the dots. The number of dots you see represents the current number of screens on your iPad. The all-white dot denotes the screen that you’re currently viewing. Flicking from right to left from the first Home screen brings up the aforementioned Today screen.
You can also drag your finger in either horizontal direction to see a different screen. Unlike flicking – you may prefer the term swiping – dragging your finger means keeping it pressed against the screen until you reach your desired page.
✓ Make sure you swipe and not just tap, or you’ll probably open one of the app icons instead of switching screens.
✓ Press the Home button to jump back to the Home screen. Doing so the first time takes you back to whatever Home screen you were on last. Tapping Home a second time takes you to the first Home screen.
✓ The dock – which contains the Messages, Safari, Mail, and Music icons in the bottom row – stays put as you switch screens. In other words, only the first 20 icons on the screen change when you move from one screen to another.
You can add one or two more icons to the dock. Or move one of the four default icons into the main area of the Home screen to make space for additional app icons you may use more often, as described later in this chapter.
