- Up until recently, all iPad models…had a switch located above the volume buttons…on the right side of the device…that could be used as either a mute-switch…or to lock the orientation of the iPad's screen.…As of this recording, the current line…of iPad minis still have this switch,…but, starting with the iPad Air 2,…that switch has been removed…and Mute and Rotation Lock are…handled a little bit differently.…Let's start by looking at the way you…control these settings on devices…that still have the switch.…Here in my iPad mini I'll go into Settings,…General, and on all iPads with a side switch…you'll find the section here labeled…Use Side Switch To.…
And here you can choose either…Lock Rotation or Mute.…Personally, I prefer to leave Lock Rotation…selected here because, on iPads,…you can always instantly mute your volume…by pressing and holding the Volume Down button…on the side of the iPad.…Notice with Lock Rotation selected…I see the message that Mute Is Available in Control Center.…We access Control Center by swiping up…
