Question

How do I charge my iPad faster

Community Answer

Using a wall charger is the fastest charging method. Make sure you are using the 12W charger that comes with the iPad for the best results. Avoid using your iPad while it's charging, and turn on Airplane Mode for faster charging.

Can I have Snapchat on my iPad?

Community Answer

Although there is no official Snapchat app for your iPad, the iPhone app works just fine, although there are black bars on the sides that make viewing pleasure slightly less comfortable.

Question

How can I stop my battery from draining?

Community Answer

You can reduce the amount battery drainage on your device by simply lowering your brightness, which can give you another 2 hours for whatever you are doing. You can also try to avoid very battery-draining activities, particularly certain games and to a lesser extent videos, and close any apps you aren't currently using.

Question

Can I charge my iPad with another company's cable?

Community Answer

You can buy Apple compatible cables from other companies. I've found working ones at stores like 7 Eleven. It does NOT have to be purchased from Apple, just make sure the package says that it's compatible with your device specifically.
