#ipados 17 update

iPadOS will be getting interactive widgets, a new lock screen, and smarter PDF support in the newest iPadOS 17 update unveiled by Apple at their 2023 Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). In a preview shown at WWDC, we got a chance to see the new update in action. Before the update, tapping on widgets on the iPad would merely open the main app itself. iPadOS 17 will also bring customizable lock screens, similar to the ones that have been in iPhones for a while now. iPadOS 17 will also include smarter PDF support, with the iPad now having the capability of identifying fields in a PDF so that users can quickly add names, addresses, and emails from Contacts. The Notes app on the iPad will also be updated to have PDFs appear in full width, making it easier to flip through content and mark the PDF. Users will also be able to review and mark up PDFs right in their note, with updates from users who share the same note also appearing in real-time. Other iPadOS 17 updates include the ability to leave audio or video messages when someone doesn't pick up a call in FaceTime, an updated Safari app that now allows users to use different 'Profiles', and the addition of the Apple Health app to the iPad.
