iPad owners are in for a real treat later this year with Apple lifting the lid on what new features are coming to these hugely popular tablets. The news has just been revealed during the firm’s opening keynote at its 2021 WWDC Developers Conference and the best part is that most modern iPads will be able to upgrade for free.
There’s a raft of changes but the most popular addition is that Apple will soon allow owners to place widgets anywhere they like on the screen. iPhone owners have been able to do this for some time but, until now, iPad owners could only add widgets to a carousel on the left-hand side of the screen.
With iPadOS 15 that all changes which mean you can place weather, news, entertainment and info-packed widgets anywhere you like. Obviously, there’s a much bigger screen on your tablet so Apple has made the widgets bigger for a more immersive experience.
As you add these large squares, many of your favourite apps can get pushed off the main screen so Apple is also bringing its App Library to the iPad which makes it much faster to find your favourite games or utilities.
Along with this big update to your apps and widgets, there’s plenty more coming in iPadOS 15 including better multitasking. Apple is trying to improve the experience with an updated menu that appears at the top of the screen which then allows you to instantly switch between split view or slideover view. There’s also a new Shelf which allows you to gain quick access to files or websites that you might be viewing.
Another update that users will like is something called Quick Notes which instantly appear with a simple swipe in the corner of the screen. These allow you to jot down a quick telephone number or email address without needing to launch the Note app.
