It's easy to stay in touch with the people that matter to you by adding new contacts to your iPad. Here are a few steps to help you out:
Navigate to the home screen of your iPad and tap on the Contacts app. If the app icon is missing, swipe down to find it on the search screen.
Once in the Contacts app, tap the "+" icon in the top right corner. This will open up a new page to add new contacts.
Enter the contact's name, email address, and other details in the appropriate fields. You can choose which fields to show by tapping the dropped down arrow in the top right corner. When you are finished, tap Done to save your contact.
