Great app but doesn’t fill IPad screen Update! Just found a way to make it bigger although it still doesn’t quite fit the screen. Look for the arrows in the bottom right hand corner of your iPad, not on the open app. There appears to be no way to open the app in full screen, which means you have to watch courses in a.
If you use the newest iPad with the latest iOS, chances are that you noticed a strange occurrence. It would appear that, at random, some apps on the iPad dock have an alarm clock icon. This can be very confusing for even experienced iPad users for two simple reasons:
Even if you are puzzled at this, do not fear! There is a reason and an explanation behind this feature in the new iOS. The following information will break down the purpose for the symbol, as well as instructions for disabling the function if you prefer.
What you Should Expect to Notice
Before we get into further details, here is what to expect related to this new function:
Why Do You See This Happening?
The reason this occurs is due to new functionality that is built in to the latest iOS for iPad. Focused on providing an enhanced user experience, the new iPad uses a number of specific algorithms that track your behaviors and try to “learn” from them.
Not only will it keep track of which apps you use, but it will also take special note of the time of day as well. As you use your iPad more and more, the iOS will compile this information and use it to predict your habits.
In order to visualize what the iOS is accomplishing, imagine the following scenario: Let’s suppose that every day at 10 a.m. you use your iPad to check Twitter. After a couple of days of repeating this pattern, your iPad will pick up on this as a trend.
In response, the iOS will decide to place the Twitter App on your dock with the small alarm clock every morning around 10 a.m. This serves two basic functions. First, it is a reminder of what you typically do at that time during the day. Second, it gives you quicker and easier access to an app that you are most likely to be using at that time.
But if this is more than you care to receive from your iPad, no need to worry! Here is an easy way to disable this function and ensure that it will not bother you in the future:
Furthermore, you can completely disable app suggestions here:
In conclusion, despite the confusing nature of this icon, there is a method to the madness. If you allow your device to “spy” on your habits, it can produce a more personalized experience that is catered to your own patterns of use. And for those who are not a fan of this latest upgrade, the essential “opt-out” function has your back!
