More languages will be coming by the end of this year: Danish, Dutch, Norwegian, Portuguese (Portugal), Swedish, Turkish, Chinese (traditional), and Vietnamese.
Does this work on ipads without mission control (ios 18 multi window mode i forgot name).
Curios how this will work on ipad 9
The details.
Stage Manager.
My 6th gen mini simply didn’t have enough power for that, so I’m assuming it’ll get fucked in the ass again by this OS.
My 6th gen gained windowed mode and Stage Manager with iPadOS 26. Not sure whether Apple will remove it again in a future Beta version, though.
I might hold back the update i legit just use my ipad for pdf note taking and watching youtube om safari
