How to Customize What the Home Button on Your iPad Does
By default, the Home button on the iPad will take you back to the Home Screen if pressed/clicked once, if pressed/clicked twice it will do the same thing. For those of you that are wondering where the Home button is, it is the button located directly below the screen. If either action, single or double press/click, perform the same action, why not customize the pressing/clicking twice action to do something else? You can change the default action to automatically open the iPod App or open Search. Whichever you choose, follow the guide below to learn how to change this useful setting.
