Apple’s iPadOS 26 brings Journal, Games, Preview, and Phone apps to your iPad, alongside a new bold look and multitasking upgrades.

At Apple’s WWDC 2025, most of the design buzz centered around a new UI material called “Liquid Glass.” It’s shiny, it refracts light, it’s very Apple. Apple’s VP of Human Interface, Alan Dye, called it the company’s “broadest design update ever,” and it’s definitely a very different look and feel across all of Apple’s devices.

At WWDC 2025, that all changed thanks to what Apple calls "An entirely new powerful and intuitive windowing system." In iPadOS 26 (yes, Apple decided to rename iPadOS 19), users can now easily switch between app windows and organize them like never before.
