Little changes that make a big difference

If you search for a musician or actor, movie or TV show, Siri will show you detailed results and links to relevant in-app content.

There’s lots more to love in iPadOS 15. Messages now has Shared With You, which takes content other people have sent to you and makes it available in the appropriate app – such as Safari for web pages, or Photos for images. You can tap on that shared content, see who sent it and continue the conversation from inside that app without having to return to Messages.

Apple has also put a lot of work into iPadOS’s Notifications. In addition to Focus Mode, you can now mute notifications for specific apps or Messages threads for an hour or day, and if a thread is really busy without you you’ll be asked if you want to mute it. Your iPad can now differentiate between general notifications and time-sensitive ones that need to be delivered immediately, and Notifications are now grouped to make them easier to work with and clear.
