See what’s new in iPadOS 18

With iPadOS 18, enjoy new ways to work with Apple Pencil, experience more immersive games and customise your iPad like never before.

Up your game with Game Mode

Activated automatically when you launch a game, Game Mode minimises background activity on your iPhone or iPad for smoother gameplay and more consistent frame rates. Game Mode also gives wireless game controllers and AirPods better responsiveness by dramatically reducing latency. It all adds up to a sharper, more immersive experience in Genshin Impact , Return to Monkey Island , Assassin’s Creed Mirage and other favourites.

Customise your Home Screen

Now you can arrange apps and widgets in any open space on the Home Screen. Place your Notes app right above the Dock for easy access, or keep faces in your wallpaper clear of icons. You can also give app icons and widgets a light or dark look – or even a monochromatic tint – and tie that to a specific Focus filter. Check it out with these apps – their icons look great in the new hues.

Take control of your controls

In the redesigned Control Centre, you can now resize icons, group them as you like and customise the layout. You can also add controls that are useful to you – such as taking a note when an idea strikes, launching your favourite streaming service or quickly opening a photo album.

Lock or hide your apps

Lock an app to require Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode for access, or hide the app by moving it into a locked folder. In both cases, the app won’t appear in search, notifications or other places others might find them.

Some features may not be available in all regions or languages.
