iPadOS 26 takes a huge leap forward and
pushes the unique capabilities and versatility of iPad even
further.
“iPadOS 26 is our biggest iPadOS release ever, with powerful
features that take the experience to the next level and transform
what users can do on iPad,” said Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior
vice president of Software Engineering. “With a beautiful new
design, an entirely new powerful and intuitive windowing system,
even more features powered by Apple Intelligence, huge improvements
to working with files, and new capabilities for creatives to power
their workflows, iPadOS 26 makes our most versatile device even
more capable.”
A Beautiful New Design
The beautiful new design brings more expressive and delightful
experiences to iPad users, while maintaining the familiarity of
iPadOS. It’s crafted with Liquid Glass — a translucent new material
that reflects and refracts its surroundings, while reacting to user
input and dynamically transforming to bring greater focus to the
content they care about most. It enables a new level of vitality
across experiences like the Lock Screen and Control Center, and
gives users new ways to personalize their Home Screen with updated
app icons that come to life in light or dark appearances, colorful
new light and dark tints, as well as an elegant new clear look. And
updated controls and navigation extend to apps including Mail,
Safari®, Apple TV®, Apple Music®, and more.
An Entirely New Powerful and Intuitive Windowing
System
iPadOS 26 introduces powerful new features that help users work
with, control, organize, and switch between app windows — all while
maintaining the immediacy and simplicity that iPad users expect.
The new windowing system lets users fluidly resize app windows,
place them exactly where they want, and open even more windows at
once.
Familiar window controls allow users to seamlessly close,
minimize, resize, or tile their windows. Window tiling is designed
for the unique capabilities of iPad, and enables users to arrange
their windows with a simple flick. If a user previously resized an
app, it opens back in the exact same size and position when they
open it again. With Exposé®, users can quickly see all their open
windows spread out, helping them easily switch to the one they
need. The new windowing system works great with Stage Manager® for
those who want to group their windows into distinct stages, and
with an external display for those who want even more space to work
across their apps.2
With a new menu bar, users can access the commands available in
an app with a simple swipe down from the top of the display, or by
moving their cursor to the top. Users can quickly find a specific
feature or related tips in an app by using search in the menu bar.
Additionally, developers can now customize the menu bar in their
own apps.
New Features Powered by Apple Intelligence
Apple Intelligence, the personal intelligence system that
delivers helpful and relevant intelligence while taking an
extraordinary step forward for privacy in AI, becomes even more
capable and even more integrated across iPadOS 26. Live Translation
in Phone, FaceTime®, and Messages enables iPad users to communicate
seamlessly across languages. In Messages, incoming texts —
including group messages — are automatically translated into the
user’s preferred language.3 On FaceTime, a user can follow along
with translated live captions while still hearing the speaker’s
voice. And when on a phone call, the translation is spoken aloud
throughout the conversation.4
iPadOS 26 brings users new ways to create Genmoji, giving them
the ability to start with existing emoji and descriptions, modify
personal attributes like hair length or accessories, and select
expressions. Users will also have more control of personal
attributes and expressions in Image Playground, and can tap into
brand-new styles with ChatGPT, like an oil painting style for a
friend’s Contact Poster. For moments when users have a specific
idea in mind, they can tap Any Style and describe exactly what they
want. And Image Playground can now send a user’s description or
photo to ChatGPT and create a unique image.
Shortcuts features new intelligent actions that allow users to
create shortcuts that are more powerful than ever, including
summarizing text with Writing Tools and creating images with Image
Playground. Users can also tap directly into Apple Intelligence
models to provide responses that feed into the rest of their
shortcuts. For example, a student can build a shortcut that uses
Apple Intelligence models to compare an audio transcription of a
class lecture to the notes they took, and add any key points they
may have missed.
Powerful New Ways to Work with Files
iPadOS 26 introduces powerful new ways to manage, access, and
edit files. An enhanced Files app with an updated List view allows
users to see more of their document details in resizable columns
and collapsible folders. To make folders easier to identify at a
glance, Files also offers folder customization options that include
custom colors, icons, and emoji that sync across devices. For
quicker access, users can now drag any folder from the Files app
right into the Dock. Additionally, users can set a default app for
opening specific files or file types.
The Preview App Comes to iPad
Preview comes to iPad, giving users a dedicated app for creating
a quick sketch, as well as viewing, editing, and marking up PDFs
and images with Apple Pencil or by touch. Users can access all of
their PDFs and images in the Files app right from Preview, create
an empty page, use Apple Pencil® to draw and write on it, and use
AutoFill to quickly fill out PDF forms.
New Ways to Work with Apps
Taking advantage of the incredible power of Apple silicon,
iPadOS 26 unlocks the ability to perform computationally intensive
Background Tasks. When users start a long-running process in an
app, Background Tasks will show up with Live Activities, giving
users complete control and a clear sense of what is running. And
developers can use an updated Background Tasks API that allows
users to perform long-running tasks from their apps, too.
iPadOS 26 also brings new audio features that offer more
flexible input and streamlined recording. Users now have better
control over their audio input, with the ability to choose
different microphones for each app, as well as individual websites.
Recorded audio will be made even better with the availability of
Voice Isolation, which blocks ambient noise, and allows clear and
crisp recordings. And with AirPods® 4, AirPods 4 with Active Noise
Cancellation (ANC), and AirPods Pro® 2, studio-quality audio
recording allows users to record their content with great sound
quality and enjoy clear calls.
With Local capture, users can produce high-quality recordings
right from iPad with any video conferencing app, and easily share
audio and video files once the call is over. Echo cancellation of
other participants’ audio keeps the user’s voice front and center,
allowing for a clear recording of their side of the call.
New Apps, Plus More Ways to Communicate
With iPadOS 26, Journal comes to iPad, making it easy for users
to capture and write about the details of everyday moments or
special events. Using Apple Pencil or touch, users can incorporate
drawings and handwriting, along with photos, videos, audio
recordings, places, their state of mind, and more. Users can keep
multiple journals for various aspects of life, and now have access
to a beautiful map view that organizes entries by location.
The all-new Apple Games™ app brings users a new home for gaming,
and iPadOS 26 introduces Game Overlay, which allows users to
quickly see new events and updates, adjust settings, call or invite
a friend mid-game, and more.
The Messages app brings conversation Backgrounds, which lets a
user personalize their chats with stunning designs and create
unique backgrounds that fit their conversation with Image
Playground. Messages also brings Polls and a redesigned details
view that helps users easily navigate what has been shared in a
conversation, and supercharges group chats with typing indicators,
as well as the ability to request and receive Apple Cash®.5
Additionally, the Phone app comes to iPad, and includes updates
like Hold Assist6 and Call Screening.7
Additional iPadOS 26 updates:
- Available in the tool palette, the new reed pen uses
stroke-angle presets to enable a traditional calligraphy experience
with Apple Pencil or touch in apps like Notes, Preview, Freeform®,
and Journal; when using Markup; and in third-party apps using the
PencilKit® API.
- Calculator introduces new 3D graphing capabilities in
Math Notes, allowing users to write an equation with three
variables and create a graph in three dimensions.
- Notes adds the ability to import and export a note into
a markdown file, along with support for capturing conversations in
the Phone app as audio recordings with transcriptions.
- Accessibility features include Accessibility Reader, a
new systemwide reading mode designed to make text easier to read
for users who are blind, have low vision, or have other
disabilities affecting reading; an all-new Braille Access
experience that offers a user-friendly interface for users with a
connected braille display; Share Accessibility Settings to
temporarily use accessibility settings on another person’s device;
and more.
