Here’s What Your iPad Gets

Collaboration seems to be the buzzword that iPadOS 16 has been built upon — and that should explain the reason behind the introduction of the iCloud shared photo library feature. This option lets users share an iCloud photo library with up to 5 individuals. The new OS version also marks the first time Apple has given users the opportunity to edit a message after it is sent. Other new messaging features include the ability to undo send messages and recover deleted messages, as well as support for audio message playback. There’s also the new availability of the Weather app for iPad devices for the first time. Users also get a handful of Mail-centric features that range from smart search corrections to undo send, and even ones for setting reminders, too.

In addition to these, Apple’s Safari browser has also been expanded with new capabilities, including shared tab groups and support for additional web technologies. iPadOS 16 marks the debut of a multi-tasking-oriented feature called Stage Manager for the iPad. For gamers, the latest update lets them see their achievements and activities using the redesigned Game Center dashboard. As well, the new OS update also supports features like dictation, an improved Siri experience, and a redesigned Home app. One collaborative feature that iPadOS 16 users can’t use just yet, however, is centered around a yet-to-be-released app called Freeform.
