This app lets users interact with a virtual whiteboard. (Like iOS 16, Messages in iPadOS 16 gain the ability to edit and recall messages, mark conversations as unread and watch videos via SharePlay from within the message appl.)Īnother upcoming feature is called Freeform. Sharing that info gives everyone access, and you'll be able to see updates and changes at the top of the Messages window. You'll be able to see who joins a Collaboration session and can also see who is currently updating a document.Ĭollaboration extends to other apps such as Messages, allowing you to share content from Files, Keynote, Numbers, Pages, Notes, Reminders, and Safari, as well as third-party apps in a group chat.

It's also possible for group members to edit and add notes to those files. You're able to share documents, photos and videos with a group. One new feature is called Collaboration, which allows you to add and communicate with people on apps like Safari, iWork suite and even third-party apps. IPadOS 16 brings a slew of new multi-tasking features. Those details will become apparent as we spend time with the beta.

We'd imagine some features are dependent on having an M1-powered tablet. It's also worth noting that not every iPad capable of running iPadOS 16 will support every feature. Based on iPadOS 15 compatibility, that means the 2nd generation iPad Air and fourth generation iPad Mini are losing support with the new update. In the fine print of its iPadOS 16 announcement, Apple says that the software update will work with the iPad (5th generation and later), iPad mini (5th generation and later), iPad Air (3rd generation and later), and all iPad Pro models.
