iPadOS 26 delivers even more ways to make the most of your iPad. Make it unique to you with these features.

A beautiful universal design crafted with Liquid Glass makes apps even more delightful—and your Home Screen and Lock Screen more personal and expressive. In addition to choosing a dark appearance or adding a color tint, you can now give your app icons and widgets a clear look—and tie that to a specific Focus filter or wallpaper. You can also make app icons larger (and remove the app name below) for a minimalist look. Try it with the widgets and icons from these great apps.

iPadOS 26 introduces powerful new ways to organize and switch between app windows. Open even more windows at once, fluidly resize app windows, and tile them with a flick.

Find what you’re looking for faster with customized folder colors, icons, and emoji in the supercharged Files app. To help streamline your workflow, select a default app to open specific files or file types.

Swap out the controls at the bottom of your Lock Screen for super-quick access to the actions you need most—like taking a note when an idea strikes, launching your favorite streaming service, or quickly opening a photo album.

Get more done with interactive widgets on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. Mark a task as complete, play or pause a song or podcast, or access your Home controls.
