\n\u201ciPadOS powers our most versatile device and enables users to do so many things on iPad, and now with iPadOS 17, we deliver an experience that\u2019s even more personal and capable,\u201d said Craig Federighi, Apple\u2019s senior vice president of Software Engineering. \u201cWith interactive widgets on the Lock Screen, updates to PDFs and Notes, as well as enhancements to Messages and FaceTime, iPadOS gives users even more ways to get things done easier and faster than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Personalized and Beautiful Lock Screen Experience<\/b><\/p>\n

\nTaking full advantage of the iPad display, users can now customize the Lock Screen to make it more personal, useful, and beautiful. Rich new photo features allow users to set their favorite images on the Lock Screen and stylize them in new ways. Users can select a photo from their personal library, a dynamic set of photos that shuffle throughout the day, or a Live Photo\u2122 for a smooth slow-motion effect whenever they wake iPad.<\/p>\n

\nUsers can choose a wallpaper from the Lock Screen gallery that will look stunning on the large canvas of iPad, pick from a set of expressive font styles and colors to customize the look of the date and time, or create unique designs with their favorite emoji and color combinations.<\/p>\n

\nLive Activities\u2122 comes to iPadOS, allowing users to stay on top of things that are happening in real time right from the Lock Screen, such as a sports game, travel plans, or a food delivery order.<\/p>\n

More Powerful Widgets<\/b><\/p>\n

\nWidgets get interactive in iPadOS 17, allowing users to get tasks done with just a tap. For example, users can turn on the lights, play a song, or mark a reminder as complete in the moment, right from a widget. And with updates to WidgetKit, developers can build interactivity into their widgets.<\/p>\n

\nInteractive widgets are now available on the Lock Screen and Home Screen, making it easy to take action and get helpful information at a glance. On the Lock Screen, widgets blend seamlessly with the wallpaper with adaptive tinting to optimize for legibility.<\/p>\n

Working with PDFs Is Even Easier<\/b><\/p>\n

\nEntering information in PDFs is now easier than ever. iPadOS 17 uses machine learning to identify fields in a PDF so that users can quickly add details, such as names, addresses, and emails from Contacts.<\/p>\n

Notes Introduces a New PDF Experience<\/b><\/p>\n

\nA big update to the Notes app gives users new ways to organize, read, annotate, and collaborate on PDFs. In iPadOS 17, PDFs appear full width, making it easy to flip through pages, make a quick annotation, or sketch directly in the document with Apple Pencil\u00ae. Users can now review and mark up PDFs and scanned documents right in their note, and with live collaboration, updates appear in real time when users are sharing a note with others.<\/p>\n

Messages Gets More Interactive with Enhanced Communication Tools<\/b><\/p>\n

\nMessages offers new ways to connect,including a stickers experience with emoji stickers, and the ability for users to create Live Stickers from their own photos by lifting a subject from the background. Users can also add effects to Live Stickers that help bring conversations to life. Available from the keyboard, a new drawer gathers all of a user\u2019s stickers in one place for easier access across iPadOS.<\/p>\n

\nNew Messages features include an expandable menu that appears with a simple tap for easy access to the user\u2019s most frequently used iMessage apps. The search experience is improved with filters \u2014 including people, keywords, and content types \u2014 that allow more specificity in finding exactly what users are looking for. Users can now easily jump to their last-read message in an active group chat, and replying to a message inline is even simpler and quicker by swiping on a message bubble.<\/p>\n

\nAudio messages are transcribed automatically so users can read them in the moment or listen later. When a user shares their location in Messages, it shows up live in the conversation until the sharing session is over.<\/p>\n

More Expressive Ways to Communicate with FaceTime<\/b><\/p>\n

\nIn FaceTime, users can leave an audio or video message when someone doesn\u2019t pick up the call.<\/p>\n

\nFaceTime calls also get more expressive with Reactions, such as hearts, balloons, fireworks, laser beams, rain, and more. The new effects can be activated through simple gestures, and third-party video-calling apps can take advantage of them as well.<\/p>\n

\nIn an exciting update to Apple TV 4K\u00ae, FaceTime now extends to the biggest screen in the home.Powered by Continuity Camera, users can initiate a video call directly from Apple TV\u00ae, or start the call on iPad and then hand it off to Apple TV to see friends and family on their television. With Center Stage\u2122, users will have perfect framing even as they move around the room.<\/p>\n

Safari Helps Users Be More Productive<\/b><\/p>\n

\nImprovements to Safari\u00ae allow users to be more productive than ever. With Profiles, users can keep their browsing separate between topics like work and personal. Each profile has their own history, cookies, Tab Groups, and Favorites, and it\u2019s easy to switch between them.<\/p>\n

\nPrivate Browsing now allows users to lock the window they\u2019re viewing with Face ID\u00ae or Touch ID\u00ae, and removes trackers used for cross-site tracking. The search experience gets even better with increased responsiveness, more relevant search suggestions, and easier-to-read suggestions.<\/p>\n

The Health App Comes to iPad<\/b><\/p>\n

\niPadOS 17 brings the Health app to iPad, giving users new ways to see their health data in rich detail. With an optimized design for the iPad display, Favorites has a new look, and users can receive insights into their health data with Trends, Highlights, and detailed interactive charts. Now, iPad users can also track and manage their medications, use Cycle Tracking, log their momentary emotions and daily moods, view their available health records from multiple institutions, and more \u2014 all in one central, secure, and private place.<\/p>\n

\nHealth and fitness developers can now use HealthKit on iPad, opening up new opportunities to create innovative experiences in their apps that incorporate data users choose to share, with rigorous privacy and data security protocols from the Health app.<\/p>\n
