iPad Air 11 (2025): Top Tricks, Hidden Features, and Customization Options

Theming and Icon Customization

• 🎨 The iPad Air offers a theming option allowing users to change icons to light, dark, automatic, or a custom tinted color.
• 🌈 This theming feature adapts to a selected color, including using a sampling tool to pick colors directly from the display.
• 📏 Users can adjust icon size, with larger icons removing the text below them and smaller icons retaining it.

Multitasking and Gestures

• 👆 Enable advanced gestures in settings under Multitasking & Gestures, including swiping from the corner for screenshots (bottom left) or quick notes (bottom right).
• 🖼️ Multitasking options include Split View and Slide Over, allowing users to run multiple applications simultaneously.
• ↔️ Split View presents apps side-by-side, while Slide Over offers a smaller app window that can be hidden.

Accessibility Features

• 👁️ The eye tracking feature in Accessibility allows control of the iPad by looking at the screen, though it may lose accuracy over time and require recalibration.
• ⚙️ Users can customize the top button (power button) behavior, including disabling Siri activation when held down.
• ⏱️ Click speed settings can adjust the timing for double or triple clicks of the top button, useful if actions are assigned to these gestures.
