Browse or Search for Contacts

The Contacts app displays the contacts you have synced to your iPad from an online service, such as iCloud, or created directly on the iPad. You can browse your contacts, viewing either the full list of contacts or only particular groups, or search for particular contacts.

Typically, each of your accounts that includes contacts appears as a group, but you can also create groups on your Mac in your iCloud account. You cannot create or edit groups on the iPad.

Create a New Contact

Normally, you put contacts on your iPad by syncing them from existing records on your computer or on an online service such as iCloud. But when necessary, you can create a new contact directly on your iPad — for example, when you meet someone you want to remember.

You can then sync the contact record back to your computer, adding the new contact to your existing contacts.

Share Contacts via E-Mail and Messages

Often in business or your personal life, you will need to share your contacts with other people. Your iPad makes it easy to share a contact record either via e-mail or via iMessage, the instant-messaging service offered by Apple.

The iPad shares the contact record as a virtual business card in the widely used vCard format. Most phones and personal-organizer software can easily import vCard files.

Alternatively, you can tie each reminder to a due time, arriving at or leaving a location, or both, and have your iPad remind you of each reminder at the appropriate time or place.

Take Notes

Your iPad is a great device for taking notes wherever you go. The Notes app enables you to create notes stored in an online account, such as your iCloud account, and sync them across your devices.

Find Your Location with the Maps App

The Maps app can pinpoint your location by using known Wi-Fi networks or — on cellular iPads — by using GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites or cellular towers. You can view your location on a road map or a satellite picture, either with or without place names. You can switch among map types to find the most useful one. To help you get your bearings, the Tracking feature in the Maps app can show you which direction you are facing.

The Maps app on your iPad can give you directions to where you want to go. Maps can also show you current traffic congestion to help you identify the most viable route for a journey. Maps displays driving directions by default, but you can also display walking and, in some cities, mass transit directions.

Following map directions requires an Internet connection. If your iPad is not a cellular model and you have an iPhone, share the directions to your iPhone before you leave so that you can follow the route.

Similarly, you can add a location to your contacts, so that you can access it either from the Contacts app or from the Maps app. You can either create a new contact or add the location to an existing contact. You can also return quickly to locations you have visited recently but not marked with a favorite or a contact.

Using the Clock App

The Clock app on your iPad provides five helpful time-keeping features. The World Clock feature enables you to easily keep track of the time in different cities. The Alarm feature lets you set as many alarms as you need, each with its own schedule and your choice of sound. The Bedtime feature encourages you to follow consistent times for going to bed and waking; it also provides sleep analysis. The Stopwatch feature allows you to time events to the hundredth of a second. The Timer feature counts down a set amount of time and plays a sound when the timer ends.

Open the Clock App and Set Up the World Clock

The Stop Playing action enables you to play music for a period of time and have it stop automatically — for example, to lull you to sleep.

Using Apple Pay

If your iPad has the Touch ID feature for unlocking the screen with a fingerprint, you can use Apple’s payment service to make payments online using your iPad. All current iPad models and those from the last several years have Touch ID, but older models do not.

Apple’s payment service is called Apple Pay. You can use it at a wide variety of online stores for convenience and security. If you have an iPhone 6 or a later model, such as an iPhone 8 or iPhone X, you can also use Apple Pay to make contactless payments at payment terminals.

The Apple Pay service links with the four major payment networks — Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover — and enables you to use debit cards and credit cards issued on these networks by a wide variety of banks.

The iPhone 6 and later iPhone models can use Apple Pay to make contactless payments at physical sales terminals in retail locations, thanks to the built-in Near Field Communications, or NFC, chip. At this writing, no iPad has an NFC chip, but iPads that have Touch ID can still use Apple Pay to make payments in compatible apps and websites.

Set Up Your Means of Payment

Before you can make a payment with Apple Pay, you must set up your means of payment. To do so, you add the details of your debit card or credit card to Apple Pay.

When you first set up your iPad, iOS prompts you to add a credit card or debit card to Apple Pay. You can add other cards by using the Settings app. Press Home to display the Home screen, and then tap Settings (image) to display the Settings screen. Tap Wallet & Apple Pay (image) to display the Wallet & Apple Pay screen, tap Add Credit or Debit Card, and then follow the prompts. You can either use the iPad’s rear camera to recognize the card’s details or tap Enter Card Details Manually and type in the details.

The iPad may also prompt you to add the credit card or debit card associated with your iTunes account to Apple Pay.

Make a Payment Online with Your iPad

After setting up Apple Pay, you can use it to make payments online using your iPad. You can make payments in various apps, including the Safari web browser. You can make payments to any retailer that accepts Apple Pay.

When an app displays a button with the Apple Pay logo on a payment screen, you can tap that button to use Apple Pay. On the subsequent screen, you use one of the fingers you have registered for Touch ID on Home to confirm the purchase and authenticate your identity.

Make a Payment at a Payment Terminal with an iPhone or Apple Watch

If you have an iPhone 6 or a later model, such as an iPhone 8 or iPhone X, you can use Apple Pay to make payments easily at payment terminals located in retailers, cafés and restaurants, and places such as stations or airports.

Before you can make a payment, you must set up your means of payment on the iPhone. Apple Pay does not sync credit and debit cards from one iOS device to another, so you must add to Apple Pay on the iPhone each card you want to use for Apple Pay. Press Home to display the Home screen, and then tap Settings (image) to display the Settings screen. Tap Wallet & Apple Pay (image) to display the Wallet & Apple Pay screen, tap Add Credit or Debit Card, and then follow the prompts.

To make a payment, you simply bring your iPhone up to the payment terminal, verify the amount displayed on-screen, and place one of the fingers you have registered with Touch ID on Home to approve the transaction and authenticate your identity.

If you have an Apple Watch, you can use it to make payments at payment terminals. Because your Apple Watch is an accessory to your iPhone, Apple Watch picks up the cards you have added to your iPhone; you do not need to add them to Apple Watch separately.
