4.2: iPadOS 15

This week I look at some of the most important iPadOS 15 updates that were released on September 20th. Some of the simplest changes are that the App Library and Widgets have now come to the iPad. Widgets and the App Library were on the iPhone with iOS 14 and if you were familiar with them on the iPhone this will not be much of a change. I’ve talked about Multitasking in the past but now Apple has made it so much easier and it’s open to more apps. FaceTime, Messages, and Do Not Disturb (now renamed Focus) have made some minor tweaks but are more improved for productivity. I found some great TikTok resources to demonstrate these updates. Finally, the two best new features are the Quick Note and Live Text in Photos. I have some TikTok resources that demonstrate these changes. Read the overview of these new features in the newsletter, there’s a link to the Apple website to read about all the new features, or you can watch the video or listen to the podcast to learn about the new features in action. You can find links to all the resources in the newsletter found here.
