You didn’t know your tablet could do!

A tablet gives you quite a bit more screen space than a Smartphone, but a lot of the text can still be too small for some people. Fortunately, you can bump up the size to something much easier to see.

iPad
Go to Settings>>General>>Accessibility and turn on ‘Bold Text’ and ‘Larger Text.’ You can choose either or both, depending on your preferences. You will need to restart your tablet for Bold Text to take effect.

Android
Go to Settings>>Accessibility. Under ‘Vision,’ tap ‘Font size’ and set it to ‘Large.’ Some tablets include the even bigger ‘Huge’ option if you really want to get crazy.

Did you get a seriously hard question right in Trivia Crack or spell an amazing word in the Scrabble app and want to share it via text message? Maybe your friend posted something unintentionally hilarious on Facebook or Instagram and you want to snag it before it’s edited away. You can take screenshots of your tablet`s screen with a simple button press.

iPad
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button, then press the Home button to take a screenshot or two. You should hear a shutter click every time. The screenshots will appear in your Camera Roll or Saved Photos section.

Android
Press the Power button and Volume Down button at the same time. You should hear a shutter click and/or see a white border flash around the edges of the screen. The image is saved to the Captured Images folder in your Gallery app.

While you can always make the text on the screen bigger (see Point 1 above), sometimes it’s not even looking at the screen. Both iPad and Android can read what`s on the screen and even give additional information you wouldn`t immediately notice otherwise.

iPad
Go to Settings>>General>>Accessibility and turn on ‘VoiceOver.’ You have the option to practice with VoiceOver, set the speaking rate and make other tweaks to make it easier to understand. And you will need to do some playing around to get used to it.

Android
Go to Settings>>Accessibility and tap TalkBack. If you don`t see it, you can download it from the Google Play store. Once you turn it on, your tablet will read whatever you touch on the screen, along with incoming notifications. Hint: To perform a regular swipe gesture, you have to use two fingers instead of one.

If you like to fall asleep listening to music, a tablet makes a great music player, as long as you have it hooked up via Bluetooth to an external speaker like the Komando Connect Speaker. But once you fall asleep, you don`t want it to keep running all night, especially if it isn`t plugged in.

iPad
Go to the Clock app and tap on "Timer," then "When Timer Ends." From here, scroll all the way down to the bottom of the screen and select "Stop Playing." Then just set how long you want the Timer to run.

Android
Depending on the music player you`re using, you may or may not see this option. Samsung`s default music player has it under Settings as ‘Music auto off.’ Google’s Play Music app doesn’t have an auto-off option.

But you can get a third-party app like Sleep Timer which works on a timer, or Music Off, which has a timer or detects your body movements to know when you go to sleep. Warning: If you`re setting your gadget on your bed, make sure it doesn`t get covered. If it does, it can overheat and become a fire hazard.
