Apple updated its iWork applications Pages, Numbers and Keynote for iOS 13 and iPadOS this evening.

One of the new main functions is of course the dark mode - if the dark mode is activated system-wide, the apps recognize this and switch to the dark style accordingly. Furthermore, Apple has added support for multitasking with today's update - access to external drives is now also possible. You can find all the new features in Pages, Numbers and Keynote in our list below. (Photo by dolgachov / Bigstockphoto)
