You may find yourself so mesmerized by navigating the iPad with a series of finger moves that you completely forget about the concept of clicking links, especially since you’ve probably use a computer mouse to do that for the past 15 years or so.
Here’s how you handle links on the iPad: Tap them with your finger, much the way you’d click them if you did have a mouse. As you know from desktop-computer browsing, not all links are blue and underlined. Some, in fact, are graphics, like pictures or icons.
Tip
If you hold your finger on a link for a moment—press it rather than tap it—a box pops up identifying the link’s full web address and offering four buttons: You can open the linked page, open it in a new browser tab, add the story to your Reading List (Use the Safari Reading List), or copy the link to the iPad’s clipboard to paste it elsewhere. Cut, Copy, Paste, and Replace Text shows you how to copy and paste text.
