We guess that makes some sense, though we would like to see some more "free-form" window behavior from Apple one of these days. To get a 50% split down the middle, you need to hold the iPad horizontally. In vertical orientation, you can only have a 1:2 or 2:1 split. The split, like before, can be adjusted, with some limitations. While technically not "true multitasking," this is an ideal setup for doing things like copy-pasting or reading a source of some sort and taking notes. The first is full screen, clicking the second collapses the app temporarily to one side and asks you to select a second app for a two-app vertical split. Clicking those offers three app "states", for lack of a better term. First off, apps now have three dots near the top of their UI as a constant fixture. However, Apple has worked hard to try and make its features more "visible", apparent and convenient for users. Split screen, or multi-tasking, depending on how you chose to interpret each term's meaning is, naturally present in iPadOS 15 and mostly works just like before. ![]() ![]() And that optional App library shortcut for the Dock is also toggled from here. You can also choose whether to have notification badges on your app icons within App library. Understandably, this is the default behavior for consistency. Here you can choose whether you want newly-installed apps to just be added to the App library or get a shortcut on the home screen, as well. There are also a few behavioral settings related to the App Library, found under Settings->Home Screen and Dock. By default, you get a nifty, automatically categorized folder structure, but you can also search your apps and get a simple alphabetized list to choose from. It is essentially Apple's long-overdue answer to Android's long-standing app drawer. You can get to it by swiping right from your rightmost home screen or from an optional shortcut on the Dock. Your call.īy the way, the familiar slide over widget strip that appears when you swipe left from the leftmost homescreen is still there and functions as before.Īnother great convenience feature that is part of iPadOS 15 is the App library. You can mix and match app shortcuts and widgets or even have home screens dedicated to just widgets. You have the ultimate freedom to experiment and craft something useful to you, personally. Widget can come in different sizes, including a new huge banner size. ![]() No longer are they relegated to their own dedicated slideover area, but you can now place them freely anywhere on the home screens. In no particular order, widgets are now first-class citizens in iOS 15. Only the future will tell.Īnyway, we'll go through some of the more significant new additions and changes. Perhaps in a few years, or maybe Apple just wants to keep the two device categories segmented and continues just offering slightly better iOS app experiences on tablet. Unfortunately, the lofty ambitions of full OSX apps and things like running Final Cut Pro on the iPad remain a pipe dream for now. Not even close to the scale some people were hoping for out of 2021 iPads, now that the top-of-the-line model has Apple's flagship M1 chip inside it and more performance than some of the company's MacBook computers. Not much has changed, yet there are some noteworthy new additions. If you have used an iPad in the last few years, you will find everything largely familiar and feel right at home. The iPad 10.2 (2021) ships with iPadOS 15 out of the box. ![]() Familiar OS, with some quality of life and productivity features
