Everything Apple announced at WWDC 2021: iOS, iPadOS, macOS, AirPods Update

For years the iPad has been a beloved tool in the creative tool community, with apps for drawing, editing photos and working with audio. For so-called knowledge workers (people who spend most of their days writing emails and working on documents), the iPad hasn’t had a very pleasant work environment, with half-cooked apps changing and multi-tasking tools. This is what we have stated in our last period Review of the new iPad Pro. Today, Apple has shown work to address these shortcomings.

With the next update, the iPadOS will get a multi-tasking menu that appears at the top of the screen. Using the tiny pop-up menu, you can take full-screen apps, create a split view with multiple apps, or swipe windows to one side of the screen to access the home screen by tapping everything or two. Switching between split-view applications is elegant and is achieved with a couple of movements. These actions will also work with keyboard shortcuts to use the support for staff to match the knowledge of the iPad with the smart keyboard as a replacement for a laptop.

Other updates: Notes gets more collaboration, has the ability to see recent changes, and allows colleagues to tag in a shared document. Widgets get an update to iPadOS with new larger widgets and new actions that make it easier to organize and manage widgets on the home screen. The Translate app is also being promoted on the iPad, adding text to all your apps, web pages, with the ability to translate messages – everything in the system. Something really special: You can use translation with Apple Pencil to practice writing, so if you want to clear it in Japanese kanji, here is your shot.
