With this update, the iPad becomes a smart device that understands user intent and cuts down on work steps.
Open a conversation in the Messages app and tap the plus icon to reveal a new drawing menu. Through this feature, you can communicate by drawing directly in messages.
With the Apple Pencil in particular, you can draw and explain the location of a specific place, which makes it quite useful.
When you use the iPad like a laptop, you can keep the menu bar always visible on screen or set it to appear only when needed, improving usability.
This update lets you adjust the alarm volume and the system volume separately. Previously, the alarm volume was linked to the ringtone volume, which was inconvenient.
Now you can keep system sounds as they are while adjusting only the alarm sound independently, improving the user experience.
The new photo expansion feature uses AI to widen a photo's aspect ratio and naturally fill in the background. It is especially useful for turning landscape photos with awkward proportions into iPad wallpapers.
Apart from complex portraits, it produces natural-looking results without distortion in most cases, showing strong performance.
When removing objects from a table, you can see the table pattern and even the shadows restored naturally in the removed area.
However, results may vary depending on image quality and subject sharpness.
For photos with LiDAR sensor data, you can change the composition while keeping a sense of depth, making it a fresh and fun feature.
However, performance can drop with flat images such as those downloaded from the web, and it's not yet consistently impressive in every situation.
This makes it easy to use user-customized tools, such as adding a fireworks effect.
The new Safari extensions can be used to filter web information. For example, you can set a red warning banner to appear at the top of any information that is more than a year old, making outdated content easy to spot.
They can also automate tasks such as setting up price-drop and restock alerts for products you want while shopping.
Stage Manager has been significantly improved: the limit on the number of apps shown on one screen has been removed. Previously up to four apps were possible, but now you can keep as many open as you like.
App grouping and transition animations are also more natural, making multitasking across several apps more flexible and convenient.
Apple Intelligence can now be used to build Shortcuts conversationally. Describe the action you want in natural language, and Apple Intelligence automatically connects the necessary actions to create the Shortcut.
This lets you automate complex tasks such as a 'daily routine' or 'writing meeting notes' without needing to understand how Shortcuts are structured.
New Shortcuts triggers have been added for connecting the Magic Keyboard and for external power connection. A specific Shortcut can run automatically the moment you attach the iPad to the Magic Keyboard or plug it into power.
This makes it possible to build more automation scenarios, such as configuring Split View or automatically launching specific apps.
It brings the iPad one step closer from a device that only comfortable for people who set it up carefully to one that adapts to users when they simply say what they want.
Changes like these will broaden the iPad's convenience and appeal, helping more users make easy and efficient use of the device.
