IPadOS 16 should make iPads feel more like proper desktops. Game Center is getting an activity section on the dashboard so that it's easy to see what games your friends are playing and what achievements they've racked up. Display Zoom on M1-powered iPads lets you increase the pixel density of the display to see more in different apps, while Virtual Memory Swap can expand available memory.Ī lot of iOS 16 additions also make their way to the iPad, including live text support for video, a My Sports section in Apple News with scores and highlights, on-device dictation and more.

If you've got an iPad Pro, you'll be able to take advantage of Reference Mode, which lets the 12.9-inch model match the color requirements in workflows like review and approve, color grading, and compositing - definitely a welcome addition for pros who use their iPad as a second screen. Consider these more steps to make your iPad more like a desktop experience. Apple says that search in Mail will be improved as well.Īpple promises desktop-class apps for the iPad, bringing over features such as consistent undo and redo experience and a better better find-and-replace experience. New Smart Tools let you cancel the delivery of a message before it reaches a recipient's inbox, schedule emails, and resurface emails with a Remind Later feature. Mail is getting some features that sound straight out of Gmail's playbook.
#IWORK FOR MAC REVIEW SOFTWARE#
(A developer API will allow app makers to build weather info into their software as well.) The Weather app has been missing in action from iPads since the dawn of time, but iPadOS 16 brings it to Apple's tablet.

Though Apple explained why only M1 iPads can run the feature, it's still disappointing. It's just a shame it's only available on M1-powered iPads. This feature will no doubt be useful during presentations.
#IWORK FOR MAC REVIEW WINDOWS#
You can create groups of three or four windows on each display and have a total of eight apps running on your iPad and external display. Stage Manager's best feature is how it lets you plug your iPad into an external display so that you can effectively have two screens. You can switch between open apps, with unused apps being moved to the side. Stage Manager allows you to resize windows as you would on a Mac (or PC) and has a visible dock on the screen that makes it easy to access apps. MacOS Ventura's Stage Manager feature is also making its way to iPadOS 16. It's also possible to drop photos, videos and documents into a specific group using the whiteboard feature.Īpple demonstrates how Stage Manager works during WWDC 2022. You can use an Apple pencil to jot down notes or even draw on the aforementioned board. Apple says this feature is great for brainstorming and collaborating. This app lets users interact with a virtual whiteboard. (Like iOS 16, Messages in iPadOS 16 gain the ability to edit and recall messages, mark conversations as unread and watch videos via SharePlay from within the message appl.)Īnother upcoming feature is called Freeform. Sharing that info gives everyone access, and you'll be able to see updates and changes at the top of the Messages window. You'll be able to see who joins a Collaboration session and can also see who is currently updating a document.Ĭollaboration extends to other apps such as Messages, allowing you to share content from Files, Keynote, Numbers, Pages, Notes, Reminders, and Safari, as well as third-party apps in a group chat. It's also possible for group members to edit and add notes to those files. You're able to share documents, photos and videos with a group. One new feature is called Collaboration, which allows you to add and communicate with people on apps like Safari, iWork suite and even third-party apps.

IPadOS 16 brings a slew of new multi-tasking features. Those details will become apparent as we spend time with the beta. We'd imagine some features are dependent on having an M1-powered tablet. It's also worth noting that not every iPad capable of running iPadOS 16 will support every feature. Based on iPadOS 15 compatibility, that means the 2nd generation iPad Air and fourth generation iPad Mini are losing support with the new update.
