How do I switch off my iPad?

To switch off your iPad, you need to either use the physical buttons or, on some models, you can use the Settings app. Here's how:

Using Physical Buttons:

1. Press and Hold: Simultaneously press and hold either the Volume Up button and the Power button (top button on older models or side button on newer models) or the Volume Down button and the Power button.
2. Slide to Power Off: After a few seconds, a slider will appear at the top of the screen that says "slide to power off." Drag this slider to the right.
3. iPad Turns Off: Your iPad will then power down.

Using Settings (if available):

1. Open Settings: Tap the "Settings" app on your iPad's home screen.
2. General: Tap "General" in the left-hand menu (you may need to scroll down to find it).
3. Shut Down: Scroll to the bottom of the General settings and tap "Shut Down."
4. Slide to Power Off: A slider will appear at the top of the screen that says "slide to power off." Drag this slider to the right.
5. iPad Turns Off: Your iPad will then power down.
