Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and ipad os 15 has finally released it's
available to the public right now everywhere around the world at the exact same time
as long as you have a supported device which means a device that supports ipad os 14 you'll be able
to install this update it's supported on the ipad air 2 ipad mini 4 ipad 5th generation and newer
all of those devices can install ipad os 15. now if you're not able to install it you're not seeing
it you're wondering how do i get it go to your settings and under settings tap on general then
tap on software update and you should see it there if you're still not seeing it make sure you turn
off automatic update and then check again and you should see it once you check for an update again
then you'll be able to install it now you may have already seen that this is a fairly large install
it's about five gigabytes or so depending on the device you're coming from so if you're coming
from ipad os 14 or any of those versions or maybe even ipad os 13 it could be about five gigabytes
however it will overwrite the old storage and it won't take up additional space once it's
done generally so that's a pretty large update and there's some significant changes in this
now along with this apple also released ios 15 a watch os 8 and tv os 15. unfortunately mac os
monterey is not available at this time which means one of the major features of ipad os is not here
yet universal control that allows you to use your mouse cursor to go from your ipad to a
mac or from a mac back to your ipad that feature is not yet available unfortunately but they did
add quite a few new features now i'm going to cover the features that are specific to the ipad
in a separate video i covered over 300 changes to ios 15 and so all of those changes
most of them pertain to ipad as well but i'm going to cover just the ipad specific changes
in this video if you want to see everything else including everything with messages and facetime
notifications focus and more i'll include a link to the other video in the description
below now the first thing they've added is very simple many people have wanted this
and if you go to your settings and battery you'll see that we now have low power mode
it's been available on iphone for some time they've now added it to ipad so that's a small
change but something people may appreciate also people have been asking is there new wallpapers in
ios 15 and ipad os 15 and so far there are no new wallpapers so you'll see nothing really new here
there's some new ones that pertain to the new ipad and ipad mini that they've announced but nothing
really new in ios 15 as far as wallpaper goes now as far as new features that they've added well
they've added the app library and you may have already seen it down here in the bottom right
tap on it you've got the app library just like you do on ios you have an app library on ipad os now
and you can take it off of the dock if you don't want it here and instead just scroll
through until you get to the end and it will pop up so scroll to the end and it pops right up
again you can go into your settings go under home screen and dock and then you can turn off show app
library in dock and it disappears i actually like it but if you don't like it it will you
can turn it off and you can also just access it by scrolling you cannot remove it all together
so it's a nice little addition that i know a lot of people wanted since they added it with ios 14.
now in ipad os you can hide pages as well so if we go into jiggle mode press and hold tap on the dots
on the bottom and now we can hide a page so we can hide them we can move them around just like we
can on ios so that has been added as well another thing they've added that you may have already seen
here are some new widgets we can now place widgets throughout the the home screen anywhere we want
now they still sort of auto arrange themselves but we can now change where they're placed and there's
also different sizes and new widgets available overall so if we go again into jiggle mode press
on the plus in the upper left you'll see we have some new ones we have app store of course we have
calendar clock contacts files find my game center and also some additional ones for maps and music
and then notes photos podcasts some of these were here before but you can see all of the different
ones that are available now and there's a new size for many of them also so i showed you the podcast
one already we have a giant size that's also available in music so we have a larger size there
and files has that as well so we can go to files and you'll see there's a larger one there also
game center also has a larger size and additional styles so it can be individualized or show you the
latest games so there's a lot of changes in this update with widgets and they've finally
brought them so you can put them anywhere on your screen in ipad os 15. now we can still
swipe in from the left and have widgets here as well if we don't want them on the home screen
but we can't stick those widgets here on the home screen anymore so there's no option under home
and screen to actually stick them to the left so they've changed that up a little bit but again
you can slide in and place them there now you may have already noticed there's a weather widget on
the home screen but unfortunately there's no app associated with it they did not bring over the app
from iphone so if you open it it just goes to the weather channel so that's something
they haven't changed for some reason and i wish they'd bring it to ipad but they haven't so far
now another thing they've done that's really nice that was confusing for many before
is multi-tasking they've updated this to make it a little bit simpler and you can see that here on
the ipad os homepage at the top there are three dots at the top of your screen the three dots
indicate what you can do with your windows before you could do split view and more and you can use
the same gestures you did before maybe we want to bring in music and drag it over here but now
we have an easier way to control this by tapping on the three dots we can now make it full screen
put it off to the side with a sidebar or make it full screen like that tap the three dots again and
again bring it into the other version here where we have split view and it says choose another app
so we've got music maybe we'll open the browser here and it will bring it in it makes it a little
bit easier to multitask and gives you more context as to what's going on of course you can still
bring in your little tabs on the side or slide over maybe we'll bring in pages and we can bring
it in here we can just drag it into our split view or we can bring in a sidebar as well so maybe we
want to have slide over here we can do that also so it makes it really easy to customize and move
it around you can grab the three dots move the the sidebar over here if you want to and it makes it a
lot easier so you have slide over you can stack slide over and just spin through them pretty
quickly as a carousel so all of those things have been updated they've also added a new thing called
shelf so if you go into documents maybe on this document here it just says ios 15 is out if i
tap the three dots at the bottom it will show me any other windows that are open for the app shelf
so you'll see it says ipad os 15. i can tap on it and open it then it brings up the keyboard again
tap the three dots and you'll see any of them that are open this works in different apps that
support the app shelf so that's something that's new of course we can create a new window as well
and add additional shelves so it's really nice to have all of your windows in one place and if
we go into the app switcher here as well you'll see we have all our apps of course now maybe if
we go into this one we'll bring in safari over here on the side now if i go into multitasking
you can see my windows here and i can close them right from here i can swipe them off the screen
and they expand back so that has been updated as well multitasking has been greatly improved and
it's much clearer on how everything operates now so it's much easier to just have multiple windows
and your split view and everything else with slide over and more now a new feature that
apple has brought to iphone that they're also bringing to ipad but in a slightly different way
is live text and if we go into maybe at a photo here this is actually a photo or a screen shot
that i took of the release of ipad os 15 it understands text within any photo so as long as
you have a supported device you can highlight text you can copy select it look it up or translate it
it recognizes text within everything you also have visual lookup as well so it understands
context so maybe we look for a flower and this is the same photo i used in my ios 15 video that i
took a photo of tap on i and if it understands it it'll show where it is give more context about it
and sometimes visual lookup will work now you can see it's not working on this photo if i go to the
world trade center here you'll see that we've got a little star in the upper left of the eye
tap on the eye it understands that it's a landmark and then it will give us results
about that landmark you'll see it says one world trade center it's a photo i took a few years ago
so not everything works immediately it does have to calculate what's going on it uses it on the
device itself and understands it and sometimes can take some time to understand what's in the photo
so you'll see here there's no little star next to the eye so it can't use visual lookup but if it
has that star you're good to go now safari gets an update as well and it has similar tabs similar to
what the iphone does but everything's at the top so if we tap on the plus and maybe add another tab
maybe we'll go into well we'll just go to apple here on this site as well to give you
an idea you'll see we have multiple tabs here and while that's not particularly new if we go home
we can change the way it looks so we'll go to settings then we'll go down to safari and under
safari if we scroll down we now have a separate tab bar or compact tab bar this is the new look
that they have with ipad os 15. so you can go into the compact tab bar where it will place them at
the top so you can switch between them this way so that has been updated they've also brought
extensions to safari you can also voice search within safari so that's active with the microphone
here on your keyboard or you can tap the microphone in the upper right and just search for
google.com and it will go right to the website so you have those options as well and there's
even a redesigned sidebar with your tab groups so there's new tab groups where you can have
multiple tabs within a specific group if you want to do that and of course your bookmarks reading
lists and history or shared with you that's shared in messages all of that has been updated in ipad
and it looks pretty much like what we have on iphone now with ios 15 but they've given you
those additional customizations now within mail they've updated it as well so if i go into mail
you'll see here's the inbox and i can now place them in the center if i want to see
these full screen if i press and hold on the email you'll see that it says open in new window
now it's in the middle so i have that option and then if i tap on the three dots i can make it full
screen as well and bring it full screen so we have similar multitasking options like we did before
and now we just have it in the center if we want to open in a new window and have it front and
center so they've updated that to be a little bit different it's not a huge change but you can do
this with other things like notes as well now in ipad os 15 we have a new feature called quick note
swipe in from the bottom right and we have a quick note where we can create a new one
and maybe notate something we're thinking about maybe we're on a website
and if we go on a website you'll see that we can add the link to the website and when
we come back to this website it will remember so we'll add a link it remembers this here and then
we can drag different photos and things into the note itself or different links so maybe i want
this one here we'll drag that over and it remembers the link to the new ipad air
so it remembers all of those things of course you can use markup and more in here you can say ipad
it's very messy but you get the idea so you can have the option to mark this up
now if i swipe this over to the side here maybe i go back and hit done maybe i go to the new watch
here you'll see that it keeps the note in the bottom right and if i go to maybe another tab
and i open up something like apple again go to the main screen it disappears now if i go back to ipad
it shows back up so it remembers what you have links to and shows up there it also shows up in
notes under a separate category now so you have quick notes within notes so if we go into notes
you'll see within notes i have the same quick note that i just took i have it full screen i can see
what i have and i can tap on the links and they're active another thing they've brought to notes that
i talked about in the ios 15 video is if you're collaborating with someone it will tell you the
different changes they've made to that note so it's nice for collaboration they can give those
changes and also if they mention you it will pop up and let you know that they've mentioned you
so that's been updated now the keyboard has some updates as well but before we go into that maybe
we want to select some text so let's go to a different note and these are the ios 15 notes so
if i press and hold you'll see that i now have the loop so if i want to select there's the loop above
my finger no longer is it just a line i can select with my finger and there's a loop it makes it
super easy to see so maybe you can see that here it magnifies again like it did years ago they've
brought that back now if you attach a third-party keyboard or the magic keyboard like i'm using here
you can fully navigate using the keyboard now so maybe you want to go to a different app you can
go command tab we'll go to safari if we want to go home we hold command hit h and we go back home if
we want to see those commands they've updated that as well so we could see them before a little bit
but if we press and hold the globe key you'll see it pops up and tells us everything that we can do
within the apps or within the home screen that we're on right now using the keyboard just by
holding this we can also search here as well so it says system multitasking split view options if
we go back to system we can search here maybe we want to know how to switch apps and it will show
us switching apps so it gives us more information about how to do this and how to navigate with
the keyboard that's been completely updated in ipad os 15. now within ipad os 15 there's some
updates to accessibility that are not in ios 15. so if we go to our settings under settings we go
down to accessibility then we go to switch control under switch control go to switches add new switch
you'll see we now have options for sound so we can now use sound options or sound actions for
switch control so that's something that's new as well now in addition to switch control sound
actions we also have eye tracking support added to ipad so if you have a third-party mfi eye tracking
device you can now use that with your ipad to help control the ipad using just your eyes you
can also import audiograms as well and one of my favorite features to help focus is under audio and
visual we now have background sounds built into ipad and iphone as well so you can use that here
and on your iphone to help you focus or just have some ambient noise going on you have the options
from balance noise bright noise dark noise ocean rain and stream all of those have been added to
ipad os 15. and as far as new features compared to ios 15 that's everything in ipad os 15.
while it does include a ton of different changes that i mentioned in the other video everything
from messages to facetime they did not include share play yet that will be coming a little bit
later but we have that as well as updates to swift playground that will help you code as well so if
you want to use swift playground i do have it on here somewhere we have swift if we go down
you'll see that we have swift playgrounds this will have an update to help you fully code an
app on the device so it will be just like using xcode but using swift so that will be coming in
an update later if it's now not out already so all of those things are new to ipad os 15 and
i think some of them are very nice changes last year was the larger update to ipad os and so with
this update we have some nice things such as the quick note and some different multitasking options
as well let me know what you think of ipad os 15 in the comments below and if you're curious about
overall performance it seems to be performing just as you would expect from ipad even on older
devices such as the ipad air 2 that i have here so let me know what you think about it in the
comments below and if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper i'll link it in the description
