Powering off your iPad: What you need to know

Your iPad can be turned off using the power button. However, it is not always recommended to shut down the tablet every time after use. You can find all the information about this in this article.

How to shut down your iPad

You can turn off your iPad at any time by pressing the power button. However, it is not necessary to shut down the device every time you are not using it. Instead, simply activate the key lock by pressing the power button only briefly. In stand-by mode, iPads consume little power and can be used again immediately. Also, frequent powering on and off drains the battery. When you turn off the iPad, all apps are closed. Remember to save any projects you have started before turning it off.

How to turn off your iPad

How to properly turn off your iPad depends on whether it is a model with or without a home button.

1. If you have a device with a home button, press and hold the power button to turn it off until the "Turn Off" slider appears on the display.
2. Move the slider from left to right and wait while the iPad shuts down.
3. If your iPad no longer has a home button, turning off the device is possible by pressing the power button and the volume up or volume down button simultaneously.
4. Daraufhin erscheint der Schieberegler auf dem Display, durch den Sie das iPad herunterfahren können.
5. Um Ihr iPad wieder einzuschalten, halten Sie einfach die Power-Taste für einige Sekunden gedrückt.
