The iPad receives important news in the update to iPadOS 14, shared in large part with the version for iPhone, iOS 14, but with some exclusives for the Apple tablet. We show you the main changes that we can see on our iPad from this fall.
The listing of Changes for the iPad with the update to iPadOS 14 is long, but we can summarize the main changes in the following list, which we see in this order in the video that accompanies this article:
- Widgets: the iPad receives the widtes of iOS 14, although here the change is less striking since a year ago with iPadOS 13 we already received a more rudimentary but aesthetically similar version of widgets. But the widgets are not more limited in the iPad version, since it is not allowed to place them anywhere on the springboard.
- Application Library: Apple has left the iPad out of this feature, something that we do not know if it will be definitive or simply a failure that will be resolved later.
- More discreet calls and Siri, as in the iPhone version. Calls appear as a notification, with hang-up and off-hook buttons, and Siri appears with the new icon and animation in the lower-right corner, with responses appearing in a mini-window that adjusts to content, not full screen.
- Universal Finder: Apple now allows you to search anywhere in the system, within applications, etc.
- Sidebar in appsSome apps like Photos, Files, Music, and Home get a makeover with a 'macOS' sidebar.
- Messages Get the latest in iOS 14, with the ability to quote messages, mention users, pin chats, and change the icon for group chats.
- Application Music change design aspects such as the new sidebar, the full-screen player or the possibility of opening two simultaneous windows.
- El Handwriting / Scribble recognition It is in my opinion the most remarkable novelty. Now everything you write with your Apple Pencil you can transform it, select it, change color, etc. The system will recognize what you write by hand, and you can use the Apple Pencil to fill in any text box within the system.
These are the main novelties, although there are others like Clips, changes in HomeKit... but we will see that in other videos later.
