Evolved file system
The new Column View in the Files
app makes it easy to drill down through
sub-folders to find exactly what you
want. And when you tap on a file, it’s
previewed along with its metadata,
and Quick Action buttons.5
Full web access
Safari now shows the desktop
version of a website on the iPad,
mapping when a site expects mouse
or trackpad input. That means it also
works properly with sites like Google
Docs. Scrolling is faster too.6
Picture this
The new Photos tab is designed to
surface your best shots and eliminate
clutter. The Days view hides duplicates,
while the Months and Years views show
highlights. Clutter such as receipts and
screenshots is hidden.HomeKit-enabled cameras can now
detect and record activity like people,
animals and vehicles. And recordings are
stored in iCloud, with controls allowing
you to set when cameras stream and
record. This could save money on paying
subscription fees to manufacturers’ cloud
services. If you have a HomeKit-enabled
router, you’ll be able to use the Home
app to control which services HomeKit
accessories can communicate with. You
can add AirPlay 2 speakers to scenes
and automations, and Siri shortcuts
can be added to automations.Find My Kit
Of course, the iPad gets the new Find My
app that combines Find My iPhone (which
has long included iPad, Mac and Apple
Watch) and Find My Friends. The new
Gallery view in Notes, the new Reminders
app and Shortcuts are all in iPadOS.
Mail in iPadOS takes advantage of the
multitasking feature, allowing you to, for
example, drag a compose window next
to your inbox so you can refer to or copy
content from another email address. The
new photo selector allows you to see
your message while you choose a photo
to add, and the new format bar has
options for formatting and attachments.
All the text formatting tools in iOS 13 Mail
are here, as are the features for blocking
senders and muting threads.Safari
Enterprise
The biggest news for Safari
in iPadOS is that it’s now a
full desktop-class browser. That
means it will display sites like Gmail
and Google Docs as well as your
Mac does – a relief for those of us
frustrated by their apps. Apple says
sites are displayed at their optimal
size and scrolling within web pages
is faster and more fluid.
Safari also gets the same new
features as iOS 13. That means a
new start page, Download manager
and Website View menu. You can
also enable camera, microphone
and location access on a per site
basis, choose what size photos to
upload, and save open tabs as
bookmarks. The 30 new keyboard
shortcuts will be particularly useful
on iPad, as will the ability to email
a web page link as a PDF.Apple has enhanced the
enterprise tools in iPadOS,
including User Enrolment for
Bring Your Own Device
environments, which protects
corporate data while maintaining
user privacy, and Automatic
Device Enrolment.
There are a couple more
enterprise features now on board
too. Managed Apple IDs for business
allow admins to manage employee
Apple IDs, giving them access to
iCloud Drive and Notes. And a single
sign-one extension allows them to
use FaceID and TouchID.Guide to iPadOS iOS
