Quote:Apple's developer event, WWDC, kicks off today, and with it came the announcements of new versions of its operating systems. After iOS 14, the company announced iPadOS 14, the operating system that powers its iPad devices.
 
Being that the two operating systems share a lot of the same components, all of the updates in iOS 14 also apply to iPadOS 14, including new widgets and the new App Library screen. There's also a new Translate app; pined contacts and inline replies in iMessage; new features for Apple Maps, including improvements to bike routes; and app clips, which let you use a subset of features from an app in a pinch, without having to install the app.
 
As for iPadOS-exclusive features, Apple is making improvements to the way apps can be designed for iPad devices. For example, many of Apple's apps now have a sidebar that provide quick access to all the features in the app. There are also new dropdown lists and menus that make features more readily available.
