Capture inspiration through “quick memos” and organize through “tags”
Through “Quick Memo”, users can use the entire iPadOS system to quickly take notes anytime, anywhere. Whether browsing the web on Safari or searching for restaurants on Yelp, users can call up a “quick memo” to shorthand ideas, save links, and easily return to the page they were viewing.

Enhanced FaceTime more natural call
Powerful updates to FaceTime audio and video make calls more natural and lifelike. Through spatial audio, the voice in a FaceTime call sounds like it is coming from the other party’s position on the screen. “Voice isolation” is a new microphone mode that uses machine learning technology to eliminate background noise and prioritize the user’s voice; “Broad Spectrum” mode includes all background sounds into the call.
The “Portrait” mode in FaceTime can blur the background and focus on the user, and the group FaceTime now provides a new grid display method, which can display call participants in the same size grid, so that multi-person group conversations can be changed. It’s easier.
With iPadOS 15, group FaceTime conversations between relatives and friends have become more natural.
FaceTime calls can now be extended to Android and Windows devices, which is also a new feature of iPadOS 15. Users can create a link from iPhone, iPad or Mac, and share the link through “Messages”, “Calendar”, “Mail” or third-party apps, so that anyone can join FaceTime calls from their respective web browsers. The web version of FaceTime calls are also end-to-end encrypted, and privacy is not affected.
Later this fall, “Simultaneous Sharing” will bring a new way for users to share experiences with relatives and friends during FaceTime calls, such as listening to songs together, watching TV shows or movies, completing physical training together, or sharing the screen to view the app . SharePlay will be available for Apple Music, Apple TV+, Disney+, HBO Max, MasterClass, SoundCloud, TikTok, Twitch, and many other apps. “Simultaneous sharing” can be used via iPhone, iPad and Mac.

A new look for focus tools and notifications
iPadOS 15 adds a new “focus mode”, which can filter notifications based on the things they want to focus on at the moment, thereby helping users reduce distractions. For example, you can set the “work” focus mode during work, allowing only notifications sent by colleagues and work apps; when resting and relaxing with relatives and friends, you can use the “personal” focus mode. To reduce distraction, users can use related apps and widgets to create a dedicated “home screen” for a specific “focus mode”. When using “Focus Mode”, third-party communication apps such as the “Messages” app and Slack that support this function will automatically display the user status to the contact, so that others understand that it is not appropriate to disturb at the moment.

The notification has been redesigned, adding a contact photo and a larger app icon to make the content of the notification easier to identify. Users can now receive notification summaries at pre-arranged time points, such as morning and evening. This is a useful notification collection function that is sent daily, allowing users to easily grasp the information of the day at their convenience.

Device-side smart technology drives the new “photo” function and advanced Spotlight search
“As-is text” uses device-side smart technology to identify the text content in photos of the entire system (including web pages), and allows users to take further actions, such as copying and pasting, querying information, translation, etc. Users can tap the image of the phone number to make a call, or tap the image of the URL to open the page in Safari.

“Translation” on iPad brings a new way of communication
The new features of the “Translation” app on the iPad make conversations easier and more natural. When using the “Translate” app, “Automatic Translator” will automatically detect that someone is speaking and recognize the language they are using. Users can talk naturally without tapping the microphone. For more private conversations, the face-to-face perspective of two people sitting on both sides of the iPad allows both parties to view the translated content of the conversation from their own side.

Now just select the text content and tap “Translate”, you can translate it anytime, anywhere.
More privacy controls
The new privacy function further provides transparency and user control over the information provided to the app. “Mail privacy protection” prevents the sender from knowing whether the mail is opened, and also hides the IP address, so that the sender cannot know the user’s location from the IP address, or use it to file and analyze the user. Siri protects user privacy even further. Through the voice recognition technology on the device side, under default conditions, the audio of Siri commands can be processed directly on the device. This also enables a more personal experience, offline commands, and faster performance.
