The first change is already visible in the home, which has more space for the app grid, makes it possible to organize with a greater number of apps per page. With a gesture from the left, it is possible to activate the “Today View” function to position your widgets directly on the main screen of the tablet, including information such as recent headlines, weather and calendar, among other things.
Apple has also brought improvements to iPad multitasking. It was already possible to use two applications open at the same time, but now two instances of the same app can be opened side by side, such as Notes.
