Just ask Siri AI.

Powered by Apple Intelligence, Siri AI is your conversational AI assistant with entirely new capabilities on iPad. Ask open-ended questions, brainstorm ideas for work or creative projects, and engage in natural, back-and-forth conversations.

Siri understands your personal context.

Siri AI can find relevant answers to what you’re looking for just by asking. Search for a photo from years ago, easily locate an email buried in your inbox, or pull up a note you saved on your iPad.

Take action in more apps.

Siri AI can take actions in apps like Messages, Music, Reminders, and more based on what you’re doing in the moment. Quickly edit a message you just sent or add a song from a show you’re watching to your workout playlist.

Tap into broad world knowledge.

Ask about virtually any topic that’s on your mind, from more information about an article you just read to recipes and gaming tips. Siri AI can reference information online to give you detailed, up-to-date insights.

Introducing the Siri app.

A dedicated app brings together all your conversations across your Apple products, so you can ask a question on your iPhone and pick up where you left off on your iPad. You can also pin conversations for easy access or start a new one.

Visual Intelligence with Siri on iPad.

Ask Siri AI about virtually anything on your display with a screenshot. Just tap the item with your finger or circle it with Apple Pencil to find out more.²

Write with Siri virtually anywhere you type.

Siri AI can now generate a draft from scratch or provide feedback on what you’ve written. Just describe what you need in your own words. And in Messages and Mail, Siri AI can match your writing style, punctuation, and tone — so you sound like you.

Customize how Siri sounds.

Pick a voice, then customize expressivity and pace until it clicks for you.³

Take action with Siri in Notes.

Get answers or take next steps from your notes — whether they’re typed or handwritten. Organize bullet points into a formatted agenda, or turn handwritten lecture notes into a detailed study guide.

Safari works smarter for you.

Now your tabs can be automatically grouped into topics, so related pages are easier to find. And Safari Notify Me monitors pages for changes — for example, a price change or restock — and alerts you when it’s time to act.

Fix passwords with a tap.

The Passwords app alerts you to weak or compromised passwords and can update them on your behalf without the hassle.

Set a foundation.

In Setup Assistant, parents can choose exactly which system apps their kids can use. They can select a few essential apps, a recommended set, or the specific ones they want. And with Ask to Buy, parents can add more over time.⁴

Approve new websites.

With the new Ask to Browse,⁵ kids must request permission to access new websites. Parents can take a closer look at the request in Messages before approving.⁶

Help them communicate safely.

Communication Safety helps protect children from viewing or sharing nudity in Messages, FaceTime, and more. It now also intervenes before children see gore or violence in shared images and videos.

Time Allowances and Schedules.

Parents can set Time Allowances across categories like Entertainment, Games, and Social Media. We provide parents with guidance for setting Time Allowances that is based on a child’s age and developed with clinical and child development experts. Parents can always adjust these allowances based on what’s best for their child. And Schedules lets parents choose which apps are available to their child at different times or days of the week.

Intuitive, easy-to-use controls.

An all-new design makes parental controls in Settings even easier to use. At a glance, parents can check how their kids have been using their iPad. And parents can quickly adjust access in the moment with just a tap.

Design refinements.

Updates to Liquid Glass ensure exceptional readability with more uniform refraction and improved contrast. App icons are sharper and more detailed. And a new slider lets you easily customize how Liquid Glass looks, from ultraclear to fully tinted.

Faster performance.

Browsing and transferring files from iPad to an external drive is up to 5x faster.⁷ And from faster app launches to quicker AirDrop transfers, the things you do on your iPad feel more responsive than ever.

Smoother network transitions.

Your iPad more seamlessly chooses the best available Wi‑Fi or cellular connection, so whether you’re getting directions as you leave home or taking a FaceTime call as you step off a plane, you’ll stay connected.

And so many more.

With improvements at the very core of the system, like an optimized CPU scheduler, and enhancements to apps and experiences you rely on every day, iPadOS feels better than ever.
