What To Know
Using Apple ID For App Store And iCloud
An Apple ID is required to download the Fiesta iOS App. However, it can also be used to transfer files and information between a computer and the iPad and track the location of your iPad using Apple’s Find My feature.
There are two main areas that you can sign into an iOS device using your Apple ID: the App Store and iCloud. You can sign into both using the same or different Apple IDs.
While you can sign in with an existing Apple ID, you may not want to sync all information over for security or privacy reasons.
To avoid this, you can either create a separate, unique Apple ID specifically for the iOS Device, or you can disable some or all of the syncing options.
To disable iCloud syncing options:
Open the Settings app
Tap the Profile at the top of the left navigation
Tap iCloud
Toggle off anything you don’t want to appear on the iOS device
What To Know
Automatic Fiesta And iOS Updates
Keeping the iOS device and Fiesta Software up to date is important to ensure you have the latest features and improvements. These updates can be automated within the iOS device’s settings.
Both App Store and iOS updates will only download when connected to WiFi.

How to turn on automatic iOS updates:
