During the openting keynotes for Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2021, the company unveiled several new features for iPadOS 15, which it says should help boost productivity on the tablet computer.

First up on the update list is the introduction of widget support. Widgets have become an integral part of smart devices like iPhones and tablets, and being able to make use of widgets on iPadOS 15 will make it even easier to keep up with all the info you need at your fingertips. Additionally, Apple has changed how widgets work on the iPad, itself, which should allow users to take advantage of larger widgets on the tablet.

The App Library also is making the jump to the iPad with iPadOS 15, which should make it easier for users to organize their apps and content on the iPad. And Apple revealed that you’ll also be able to hide entire pages of your home screen, to make consolidating your pages simpler.

One of the biggest features coming with iPadOS 15 is the introduction of Multitasking. With this new option, users can easily move apps side by side, allowing them to work within multiple apps at the same time. The company also introduced a new dock called "the shelf," which allows you to save multiple pages and side-by-side views at a time, allowing for easy switching.
While Multitasking includes multiple buttons to set up how you want to use it, you can also simply drag and drop one app on top of another from the recent apps menu to create a Multitask window.
Continuing on the productivity push, Apple also is introducing Quick Notes with iPadOS 15, allowing users to take notes quicker than ever. You can create notes on Mac or iPadOS with a swipe up from the corner, and you can always access and edit them later.
In addition, Auto translate is making the leap to iPadOS 15. It will detect the language that someone is speaking, and then automatically start translating it. You don't need to press any buttons. Additionally, the new system will allow for system-wide translation of text.
Finally, Apple is making its learn-to-code app even better by allowing users to build apps directly on the iPad. It also will work with Xcode on Mac, and will feature better code completion and the ability to submit your app directly to the App Store when you’re finished developing it.
iPadOS 15 could be the iPad’s biggest change in years—or its biggest disappointment.
During WWDC keynotes Apple will provide details on its upcoming software updates. Of those, the most interesting could be iPadOS 15. Why? For starters, the iPad missed out on some major changes in iOS 14 last year—home-screen widgets, for example. But more than that, the iPad’s incredible hardware is held back by its software. Even the 2018 iPad Pro has more power than most people can use, and yet the OS still lacks basic features.
Last year, iOS 14 got home-screen widgets. You probably use them on your iPhone. The iPad, which is arguably better-suited to large widgets on the home screen, got a version that only let you add widgets to the sidebar.
But the whole iPad home screen needs a revamp. The app icon grid is a waste of the most precious space on your iPad. Imagine if Apple could somehow bring the power and convenience of the Mac’s desktop and windows to the iPad. In fact, don’t even bother imagining. Designer Vidit Bhargava already did it for you, with his iPadOS concept.
We won’t get too deep into this, but if you’ve ever used the iPad for complex projects, you know using multiple apps together is a royal pain. The big iPad Pro’s screen is almost the same size as the MacBook’s screen, so why not let us have windows, and a desktop as a place to temporarily store files? Speaking of files.
The Files app in iPadOS is just terrible. Connections to external disks are flaky. There’s no progress indicator when copying files, large or small. Just copying/moving a file from one folder to another is an adventure.
"The iPad’s Files app works great for conducting basic file management," Phil Crippen, CEO, told Lifewire via email. "But even doing something as simple as renaming multiple files at once is complicated."
Simply copying Mac’s Finder probably isn’t the answer, but I’m sure plenty of folks would be happy if Apple did just that.
When I asked people to give me their number one request for iPadOS 15, the most common wish was for multiple user accounts.
"I’m dreaming of the day I can have multiple users for the iPad," told Lifewire via email. "It would be so helpful for when my family is traveling and we don’t want to bring multiple devices."
There’s really no excuse. iPad storage is on a par with MacBooks, and now the iPad and Mac use the exact same chip.Apple already allows multiple iPad users in education. We’d like it for everyone else.
"It’s time for Apple to finally allow multiple user accounts to log into an iPad," says Crippen. "I understand that this feature wasn’t possible from a technological standpoint when the early iPad models were released. But the iPad is now powerful enough to support multiple users."
