With iPadOS 17, the iPad experience is increasingly different, but for the better!
The iPadOS 17 update stood out by delivering an overall revamp in UI design with a more sleek, minimalistic and aesthetic take on it, along with other features that were discovered in the earlier ones. beta versions. Interestingly, several are ideal for the iPad Pro to be seen as an increasingly effective computer replacement, at least for some users.
Let’s see below what these updates are which will officially reach all users but in doing so they will change the experience and usability of your iPad.
window game
You still have floating windows, however, there is a big change in the feel of these. In iPadOS 16, Apple concentrates the most recently opened app and removes other apps in use. Now with iPadOS 17, the window can be placed anywhere on the screen and remain in that section even if you open another window simultaneously.
The second change is that the size of the windows has increased considerably. Today, there are only a few default window sizes that every application can use. Soon it will seem different and almost endless. This will be great for those used to a normal macOS experience.
external webcam
In this beta version of the software, Apple has introduced support for external cameras, which allows users to connect DSLR cameras, webcams and other compatible devices directly to the iPad Pro. You can directly connect the webcam with a USB-C cable or dongle, then the device will use the external camera by default.
One thing to consider is that As of iPadOS 17 Beta 2, this new feature only works in the FaceTime app. Most likely, the Apple company is planning to introduce a new API so apps like Zoom, Teams, and Google Meets can take advantage of this feature.
Notes app improvements
In Notes, the biggest update will be the ability to use the app as a PDF editor. You can therefore import a document in this format and modify it as if you were on the computer. You will be able to highlight, edit, strikethrough, annotate and even use the auto-complete features. You can also share the PDF and work on it in real time with another person.
Another notable novelty of the new operating system will be be able to link notes in the app. Something that is attractive and quite productive. This utility will allow you to establish links between ideas, concepts or past projects, creating easy access to other notes, simply by touching a link. Thus, users can seamlessly navigate between connected notes.
Safari Profiles
Maintaining order and organization in an electronic device is essential for good navigation and even to be more efficient in the activity you carry out. With iPadOS 17, Safari profiles work in a more focused way; with which separate browsing environments can be created depending on the purpose. Whether for business, personal, or research-related tasks, the user can create and manage multiple profiles, each with its own set of passwords, bookmarks, and saved history.
This feature is super useful for those who share an iPad. If you close someone’s work profile, you can then access your hobby profile without having to mix up or damage the tasks the other person has been working on.
Increased speed with AirDrop
The AirDrop service, which is used to transfer files between compatible computers and iOS devices via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, will now be faster. For what Sending videos, photos and other documents from your iPhone to your iPad, for example, will be as fast as the blink of an eye.
