Abstract

The article focuses on the significant changes to window management introduced in iPadOS 26, highlighting that Apple has not sufficiently explained how to utilize these new multitasking features effectively. It describes three window management modes accessible via the Multitasking widget in Control Centre: the traditional full-screen mode, Windowed Apps mode that allows free movement and multitasking with multiple apps, and Stage Manager, which helps organize multiple workspaces. The piece emphasizes that switching flexibly between these modes enhances the iPad’s versatility, offering a more Mac-like productivity experience without sacrificing the classic iPad simplicity. It also provides instructions on how to enable the Multitasking widget to access these features. [Extracted from the article]
