Apple released iPadOS 13.4 for the iPad and iOS 13.4 for the iPhone yesterday. We have already had a look at what is new in iOS 13.4, and now we get to explore some of the new features in iPadOS 13.4.
The iPadOS 13.4 software update comes with some features which are specific to the iPad, and we get to have a look at these in a new video from Zollotech.
Enhanced Mouse and Trackpad Support
As we can see from the video, there are lots of new features in the iPadOS 13.4 software update. One of the most significant additions is the improved support for mouse and trackpads. This feature transforms the iPad into a more versatile device, bridging the gap between a traditional tablet and a laptop. The cursor appears as a small circle that highlights UI elements, making it easier to navigate through apps and perform tasks with precision. This is particularly useful for productivity apps like Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, where precise control is essential.
New Memoji and Visual Changes
There are also a range of other new features, including nine new Memoji. These new Memoji options allow users to express themselves in more personalized ways, adding a fun and creative element to messaging. The new Memoji include various hairstyles, headwear, and even new age options, making it easier for users to create an avatar that closely resembles them.
The Files app has also seen some changes. It now supports iCloud Drive folder sharing, which allows users to share entire folders with other iCloud users. This feature is particularly useful for collaborative projects, as it enables multiple users to access and edit the same set of files in real-time. Additionally, the Files app now supports external drives more seamlessly, making it easier to transfer files between the iPad and other devices.
The Mail app has received some visual changes as well. The toolbar has been redesigned to make it more intuitive and user-friendly. The new layout includes easier access to commonly used functions like reply, delete, and compose, streamlining the email management process.
Additional Features and Improvements
Beyond these major updates, iPadOS 13.4 includes several other enhancements. For instance, the update brings improvements to the Safari browser, including better tab management and enhanced security features. Users can now close all tabs more easily and enjoy a more secure browsing experience with improved tracking prevention.
Another notable feature is the new keyboard shortcuts for the Photos app. These shortcuts make it easier to navigate through photos, edit them, and organize albums, enhancing the overall user experience.
The update also includes various bug fixes and performance improvements, ensuring that the iPad runs more smoothly and efficiently. These optimizations contribute to a more stable and reliable user experience, making the iPad even more enjoyable to use.
The new iPadOS software is now available to download, and you can install it by going to Settings > General > Software Update. This update is a significant step forward for the iPad, adding new functionalities and improving existing ones to make the device more powerful and versatile.
