I have a charger with 2 ports; one is 2.1A the other 1.0 A. How do I know which to use for what device?

What devices use the USB AC 2.1 A and what uses the 1.0 A ?

iPad, iPadOS 14

Either will be fine, the 2.1 amp port will charge your phone faster. Your phone will only draw as much current as it needs, you can't damage it by using a higher amperage port.


PS. The output of a USB port is 5 volts DC, not AC.
