The latest iPadOS 15 introduces a new way to get organised on your favourite tablet, bringing iOS features to the iPad for the first time. Our favourite new feature is widgets, which have made it across from the iPhone. These can sit anywhere on your Home Screen to provide instant access to whatever you like: Calendar events, the weather forecast, your Apple Music playlist, your favourite photos and so on. To add a widget, simply long-press an empty bit of the Home Screen and tap the ‘+’ icon at the top left to see the available options. As you’ll see, there are lots – including Smart Stacks, which change over the course of the day. Smart Stacks will even predict what other widgets you might like and show them at the top of your Stack.
Widgets can be moved just like app icons, and your apps will move out of the way as you drag a widget around to get it in the perfect place.
