WWDC26: What’s New in iPadOS 27

Apple is expected to unveil iPadOS 27 at WWDC 2026 with a smarter Siri, AI tools in core apps, and performance improvements, following the same “polish over big redesign” approach as iOS 27 and macOS 27.

Features

• Revamped Siri and Apple Intelligence with chatbot-style, multi-turn dialogue and on-screen awareness.

• Automatic Safari tab grouping called “Organize Tabs” that sorts tabs by topic using AI.

• Spotlight Search overhaul that lets users ask Siri questions directly in the Spotlight interface.

• Natural-language Shortcuts, allowing users to create automations by typing or speaking what they want.

• Systemwide grammar checker similar to Grammarly, integrated into text input across apps.

• Enhanced multitasking and window management, with refined Stage Manager and better window layouts for iPad’s large screen.

• Core app upgrades, including Photos with AI tools like Extend and Reframe for generative editing.

• Performance and stability improvements, with bug fixes, code cleanup, and better battery efficiency.

Apple is expected to preview iPadOS 27 at WWDC 2026, follow with beta testing, and release the final update in September.
