Apple has now updated its entire iWork range, although some of the new features are only available from iOS 15 and macOS Monterey.
Apple has now officially updated Pages, Numbers and Keynote for iPhone, iPad and Mac. With the latest versions users can instantly translate selected text into up to 11 languages and insert the translation into a document, spreadsheet, or presentation with a single click. This feature requires a Mac running macOS Monterey, which is currently in beta and will be available to all users over the next few weeks. The new macOS updates also include the redesigned icons that were discovered in the macOS Monterey beta last month. iOS 15 introduced cross-app drag and drop, allowing users to move images, text, files, and more between apps on the iPhone. This feature is fully supported by the latest versions of Pages, Numbers, and Keynote for iOS. You can find the update descriptions below. ((Photo by Brandon Romanchuk / Bigstockphoto))
