![]() Movable widgets and the app library are finally coming to the iPad after iPhone users have been enjoying both features for a whole year now. Apple has also created a whole new suite of keyboard shortcuts for all the windowing options. There’s also a new “shelf” (pour one out for the dock) that lets you look at all your open apps at a glance and drag them together to create a split view pairing. Once you hit the split view option, the app you’re looking at will slide over to let you select a second app from your home screen. Hitting the three-dotted UI element at the top of every app will bring up different windowing options. Improved multitasking is easily the biggest feature coming to iPadOS this year. You’ll also be able to look at buildings with the camera and get augmented reality directions overlaid (like big arrow signs and street names) on top of buildings. There’s also a new navigation mode that’ll give commuters a notification when their stop is coming up. While you’re driving, Apple also promises you’ll see more turn lanes, medians, and bus lanes on your map. For the rest of the world, Apple is working on adding more detail to its overall maps with elevation, commercial districts, buildings, and a new nighttime mode. Later this year, Apple will roll out new fancy Apple Maps of Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Australia featuring 3D modeled landmarks. Weather is getting a visual overhaul that shows more current conditions and access to weather maps for air quality and precipitation. Additionally, Apple is working with hotels and lock companies to create digital key cards you can use to access hotel rooms and offices. Apple Wallet will soon allow you to add a Digital ID that will even be recognized by the TSA. What’s more, the camera will also be able to recognize objects and scenes. The iOS camera app is getting new OCR features called Live Text that allows you to point the camera at almost any text so you can select, copy, and paste it as digital text. In the Messages app, Apple Music playlists and Apple News stories are also getting a newly styled preview in Messages. The Photos, Apple Music, News, Safari, Podcasts, and Apple TV apps on your iPhone now feature a new "Shared with You" section to help find everything that’s been shared with you. Notifications have been redesigned with bigger icons while the new Notification Summary basically bundles together all your low-priority notifications (from store apps and social networks) while promoting news in a bigger preview. Your friends, family, and other contacts will see a do not disturb status under your name if anyone tries to text or call you. It also reorganizes your home screen with the apps it thinks you’ll need. Focus will essentially cut down the number of notifications you get and only shows the ones it thinks you need. IOS 15’s new Focus feature lets you set up different modes of availability while you’re working, on personal business, working out and other activities.
