Like iOS 26, Apple Apple’s new liquid glass material accepts shiny, shiny and more transparent than before. However, Liquid Glass is not the biggest change that Apple has made in the iPad software. Multitasking got a much needed revision that allows you to use tad like a Mac if you want to do it.
In iPados 26 windows iPad like Mac Windows. You can open multiple Windows applications, move them on the display, and, if you want, throw them over the other. You can basically put them wherever you want.
Some older iPads are limited to open App App Open windows at once, but if you have a newer model, you can have multiple applications open and run at once and replace between them by clicking. Each pad that is capable of running iPados 26 can use new multitasking functions in a certain capacity.
The updated window is logged in, so when installing iPados 26, you can decide where you want to use on the entire screen or use multitasking. It is great that people who want to use iPad like Mac Finully have this option and the windows system is a much better solution than a slide above and split multitasking.
If you turn on the window and then you want to turn it off later, you can go down to the control center and hit the new switch.
Speaking of moving and division of view, they are gone. The internships manager is still around, so if you use it in your workflow Ipad for grouping various applications and changing workspaces, it is available to you.
Changes in windows in iPados 26 is simple. In the lower right corner of each window is a small “handle” and if you click and drag it, you can change the size of the open window. You can open additional applications from dock or click the home screen.
If you want to move the open application window, drag it from the menu panel at the top. By the way, that’s also new. The iPad applications have MAC -like menus bar, where you can find options in the application, but keep in mind that third -party developers must update their applications to use this feature. You can close the application, minimize the application, or create an application on the full screen using the “traffic light” buttons in the upper left window tad that are borrowed directly from the Mac.
If you press these buttons for a long time, you will see several movements, change changes and open windows. You can move the application to the top, lower, to the left or right of the display or select one of the tile options to display applications on the oven in neat arrangements.
Dock contains an application library that makes it easier to get all the applications you installed on your pad. If you run from the bottom of the display iPad, your open windows are in the new shows to the sides, so you can get a clear view of everything that is open.
To add one more touch similar to Mac, Apple turned the cursor iPad to the arrow. So if you use peripheral, such as a trackpad of a magic keyboard, the cursor now Loks as it does on Mac.
If you do not want to use them from these multitasking functions and preliminary applications tad to make full screens, you can only use pad in the same way as always.
There are other nice features that are worth mentioning in iPados 26 outside multitasking.
- Lines – For iPad files, there is a MAC -style list, so you don’t have to look in a tiled view as before. The columns are sizes and folders can be adapted to colors and emotions. It’s a nice change if you are using the file regularly, but the best part for the user may be the option to select the default application for a specific file type.
- Background tasks – If you download a large file, export a big video file or do something similar that will take a long time, you can run these tasks in the background. For example, for FCP export video, you can start the process, open a different application and see progress via the live activity interface.
- Telephone application – iPados 26 brings the phone application to iPad and works via a Wi-Fi calling on the iPhone associated with your Apple account. This is probably limited to many people, but it is useful to be able to call from pad. Tools such as screening calls, live translation and possession of assistance work on iPad.
On pad there are other useful or entertaining features that are new in iPados 26, but almost are -else is also in ios 26 and is available on iphone. We made iOS 26 reviews that new features in messages, Apple Music, photos, camera and more.
