The 10 best new features of iPadOS 15
Your at-a-glance guide to the most exciting enhancements coming to iPadOS
Multitasking
In iPadOS 15, there is a new tool that
sits at the top of your open apps, and
tapping on it reveals the multitasking
menu. From this menu, you can make
your current app go into split-view and
then open another from your Home
Screen. You can also minimise apps to a
‘shelf’ and come back to them later.
New Notes features
Mentions have been added to Notes,
so anyone you namecheck within a note
will be notified and linked back to the
note – perfect for when you need to
collaborate on shared notes. You can
also add tags to your notes to make
them easier to find thanks to the new
Tag Browser.
System-wide
translation
Thanks to the arrival of the Translate
app, translation is possible from within
any of your other apps, including
Photos. Just tap to highlight foreign
text in images using Live Text, and then
you will be able to get the text instantly
translated, as if by magic.
Updated widgets
While the option to drag widgets to
your Home Screen was introduced
with iPadOS 14, there is now a greater
selection of widgets for your favourite
apps and a new XL size that is better-
suited to the larger dimensions of
the iPad screen. Now you get more
information, at-a-glance.
