Apple recently released official updates for iOS 17 and iPadOS 17, and the update content for these two versions is usually similar. iPadOS 17 adds many new functions and features to iPad that are designed specifically for tablet devices. These functions and features are specially designed for iPad and are very useful when used as a tablet.
iPadOS 17 introduces a newly designed lock screen that can be customized in new ways to display photos and add various widgets to easily access relevant information. In addition, iPadOS 17 will also introduce interactive widgets that can be placed on the home screen to provide users with more operational options. For example, users can play music, view stock quotes, or control smart home devices directly on the home screen.
iPadOS 17 will also support Live Events, allowing users to share their screen, music, or games in a video call just like on iOS.
The new "information" function will bring a new "stickers" experience, which can display all the user's stickers in a centralized manner.
In Notes, users can more easily work with full-size PDFs and document scans. The "front stage scheduling" function has been further improved, allowing users to adjust the window position more flexibly and supporting external monitor cameras.
In addition, iPadOS 17 also updates the Safari browser, keyboard, "Music" and Air Play.
It is worth mentioning that the "Health" App is available on iPad. For years, Health apps were limited to iPhone users. However, in iPadOS 17, iPad users will also be able to access their health data without relying on their phone. The app has been redesigned to fit the iPad's larger screen, and all health data already stored on your iPhone is available via iCloud.
Some users said that after updating the iPad, the notification sound of the App message notification changed; some users also said that the update of the lock screen interface was not of much use. As soon as the screen lit up, facial recognition was solved directly. The most praised version of this update is the "Health" App, which allows iPad users' health data to be visualized and analyzed, helping users better understand and manage their health status, and pay attention to and improve their physical health.
