According to a new Bloomberg report, Apple is developing some important improvements to the iPad home screen. These are set to be introduced as part of the next major operating system, iOS 15 or iPadOS 15.
Apple will likely unveil the next generation of its operating systems at WWDC 2021 introduce, including iOS 15 and iPadOS 15. According to Bloomberg, the major iPadOS 15 update includes the addition of widgets to the iPad home screen – just like iOS 14 enabled widgets on the iPhone home screen. report According to reports, this is the biggest change to the iPad home screen in history. iPhone users, meanwhile, will benefit from an "updated" lock screen interface. Further details on the redesigned iPad home screen have not been revealed yet. However, iPad users can expect a significant overhaul of the iPad software now that a new generation of the iPad Pro line has been introduced. While the new iPad Pro with M1 brings plenty of processing power, the operating system remains limited in important areas such as efficient app multitasking. A new home screen system could allow users to get the most out of Apple's latest devices.
iOS 15 & iPadOS 15: Is Apple expanding notification features?
But that's not all, as Bloomberg notes. The new notification features will allow users to customize notification settings based on their current activity: like driving, working, sleeping, or other categories. For example, the iPhone could be set to only make a sound when the user is not at work. A smarter automatic response system for notifications is also in development. In line with Apple's ongoing focus on privacy and security, iOS 15 will also include new alerts that let users know when apps are secretly collecting data about them, according to the report. The company is also said to be working on new features for iMessage that would compete more closely with WhatsApp. But according to Bloomberg, these features are still in early stages, so they may be unveiled later than expected.
