What’s new on iPadOS 18?
If you’ve been paying attention to the news coming out of Apple HQ this week, you’re probably aware of the monumental shift in software experience that is awaiting iPhone and iPad users this fall. The infusion of Apple Intelligence in iOS and iPadOS 18 holds a lot of promise. While it may still be in beta, AI-based features like audio transcription, writing tools, priority notifications, Genmoji, Image Wand, and more will find a lot of popularity among users.
Another big improvement on the iPadOS 18 is the diverse range of customisation features. Users can now change the app layout, app icon size, and app icon colour, and swap the default controls on the lock screen. On top of that, the new Control Centre is divided into different pages and can be edited to include more tiles.
