### iPadOS 26 Beta 3 Unveils Exciting Cursor Feature
iPadOS 26 beta 3 has been launched recently, highlighting an array of design improvements and fresh wallpaper selections. Among the significant upgrades is the addition of a playful feature for the iPad’s cursor, drawing inspiration from the Mac.
#### iPadOS 26 Cursor Now Includes ‘Shake to Find’ Feature
First introduced in macOS El Capitan ten years ago, the “shake to find” feature enables users to shake their cursor rapidly back and forth, resulting in its enlargement for better visibility. This function proves particularly beneficial when users are uncertain about the cursor’s position on the screen.
With the recent update in iPadOS 26 beta 3, this functionality has been adapted for the iPad. The cursor has also experienced a redesign, resembling a classic pointer rather than the round design featured in iPadOS 18. This modification improves accuracy but may also lead to the cursor being misplaced more easily, rendering the addition of the “shake to find” feature quite opportune.
#### More Enhancements in iPadOS 26
In addition to the revamped cursor design, iPadOS 26 brings a plethora of productivity and multitasking enhancements. Key features include:
– A newly designed app windowing system
– An enhanced Files app with upgraded functionalities
– A reimagined menu bar
– An improved dock
At present, iPadOS 26 is accessible only in developer beta, with a public beta anticipated to be released in July. The complete public rollout is expected in September.
As users delve into the new features, the updated cursor design and capabilities are certain to enrich the overall iPad experience.
