Apple's iPads are designed to be easy to use, but many owners are not getting the best out of the tablet – here are some hidden features that may transform the way you use your iPad.

Some features on the iPad are straight forward – a touch screen is, after all, designed to be easy to use.
More adventurous users have, however, discovered some hidden features that are perhaps not so obvious and have shared them.
Here we provide give you a quick tour of the best hidden features of the iPad and show just what it can do.

Buried under general settings is an innocuous little switch that turns on multitasking gestures. This allows you to use several fingers at once to control the iPad.
Pinching four or five fingers across the screen will return you to the Home Screen of the iPad from any App.
Swiping four or five figures upwards will reveal the multitasking bar, showing which Apps are currently running. Swiping down again will hide it.
Swipe those digits to the left or right will allow you to change Apps at flicking speed.

Those are all nice to know. I'll tell my mom and brother about them, as they use it more than me :P

I knew about the swiping one to chance apps, never heard about the other ones. Lot nicer to know that they have these shortcuts
