# iPadOS 26: Boosting Productivity with the ‘More Space’ Option
iPadOS 26 brings a variety of productivity enhancements, particularly a new windowing system that greatly expands the number of applications that can be utilized concurrently. This improvement has renewed focus on the ‘More Space’ option, allowing users to maximize their screen utilization effectively.
## ‘More Space’ Increases App Window Density
No matter the iPad model, iPadOS 26 improves the visibility of several apps on the screen. For example, users with a 13-inch M4 iPad Pro can now see as many as 12 windows at once. This marks a significant upgrade from the former limit of four apps, which necessitated the use of Stage Manager.
Nonetheless, this boost in multitasking capabilities introduces a challenge: screen space. Although rumors suggest that Apple is working on a larger, 18.8-inch foldable iPad, reports indicate it may take several years before such a product comes to market. At present, most iPad models have displays that cap at 13 inches, with many around the 11-inch mark. While an external display can offer extra space, users can also use the ‘More Space’ option to enhance their current screen.
## How to Activate the ‘More Space’ Option
To turn on the ‘More Space’ option on your iPad, go to Settings ⇾ Display & Brightness ⇾ Display Zoom. You will find three choices, including the ‘More Space’ option. This feature effectively reduces the size of user interface elements, allowing more content to be displayed on the screen simultaneously.
This adjustment is especially useful for users who intend to operate multiple windows at once, maximizing the iPad’s productivity potential. However, it’s important to consider that this setting may not be suitable for users with impaired vision, as the smaller UI components might present difficulties.
## Conclusion
The ‘More Space’ option in iPadOS 26 can serve as a substantial productivity enhancer for users aiming to maximize their iPad’s functionality. By enabling this feature, users can create a more efficient workspace, particularly when multitasking with different applications. As iPadOS evolves, options like ‘More Space’ reflect Apple’s dedication to improving user experience and productivity.
