iPadOS 26 saw the launch of a novel window tiling system featuring Mac-style menus and applications that function in the background. iPadOS 26.1 builds on these features by presenting a revamped Slide Over experience. This enhancement allows for the seamless use of an app in full view while maintaining access to a smaller app window overlaying the main screen. Such functionality is particularly beneficial when utilizing the Apple Pencil for drawing, engaging in research with ChatGPT, and more. Additionally, iPadOS 26.1 incorporates several fresh features that align with those found in iOS 26.1.
