iPadOS 26: Apple Supercharges Tablets with Mac-Like Features
Dynamic window resizing, a menu bar, and Liquid Glass redesign headline the latest iPad software update.
CUPERTINO, Calif. – Apple unveiled iPadOS 26 at WWDC 2025, touting it as the most meaningful software update ever for the iPad. The update brings dynamic app window resizing, a desktop-style menu bar, and a fresh “Liquid Glass” redesign, aiming to provide iPad users with a more Mac-like experience.
The rumors of a Mac-like multitasking overhaul have become reality. The new windowing system allows users to “seamlessly close, minimize, resize or tile [their] windows.” Resizing is now fully flexible, achieved by dragging a handle. Tiling options are also available, and the system remembers window positions upon reopening apps.
The Exposé feature, familiar to Mac users, is also included, displaying open windows in a tiled array for easy navigation. Background tasks, indicated as live activities, will continue uninterrupted.
A Mac-Style Menu Bar Comes to iPad
A key addition is the menu bar, a staple of macOS. It provides familiar menu entries like file, Edit, View, Window, Format, Arrange and Help for the active app. it can be accessed via touch by swiping down from the top or by clicking with a cursor when using a trackpad or mouse.
The Preview app is also coming to iPadOS 26, enabling users to view and edit PDFs, mark up documents with the Apple Pencil or touch, and utilize AutoFill for PDF forms.
The Files app receives an update with an enhanced List view, displaying more document details, resizable columns, collapsible folders, and the ability to set default apps for specific file types.Dragging folders to the dock, similar to macOS, is now possible.
A History of Productivity Enhancements
The productivity overhaul builds upon years of smaller improvements. While the iPad supported physical keyboards from its inception, trackpad support didn’t arrive “until 10 years later.” IPADOS 15 “added a context menu” for window management,and the initial Stage Manager offered a more sophisticated multitasking surroundings. However, these changes where incremental, leaving power users wanting more. The new iPadOS 26 features represent a significant advancement.
The productivity updates will be available on all iPad models, including the iPad Pro, Air, entry-level model, and iPad mini.
