adding additional multitasking and efficiency enhancements.
Among the most significant modifications introduced with iPadOS 26, which Apple is still fine-tuning in beta 6, is a revamped windowing system, serving as an alternate option for Stage Manager. While the latter remains exclusive to devices equipped with the M1 chip or later, all users can now access multiple windows simultaneously. Furthermore, Apple has finally enabled tasks to run in the background, allowing you to export a video or download a file while continuing your work in a different application as the tablet manages the ongoing processes.
A minor adjustment introduced in a former version included the incorporation of a Mac-style cursor. When utilizing a Magic Keyboard or a compatible third-party trackpad or mouse, you can quickly shake it back and forth to temporarily enlarge the cursor.
