iPadOS 15: widgets on the home screen

iPad widgets can now be presented on the home screen and notes can be taken from any app.

Apple has presented innovations for its iPad operating system iPadOS at WWDC 2021. It’s supposed to allow for more multitasking.

Widgets moving to the home screen

Until now, the iPad had widgets, but they were hidden on the left side of the screen. Now, they can be placed on your home screen. This even works in sizes that take advantage of the iPad's screen.

On top of this, split screen multitasking and multitasking in general have been improved.

More interactive and systemwide notes

The iPad can serve well as a notepad. But having to close your current app, then open the Notes app and open a new notepad to take notes is tedious.

The Quick Note feature allows you to tag your coworkers and friends via @mention and can be accessed from any app. This also works with macOS, but not with iOS.
