#iPadOS release

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). 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. 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. The developer beta of iPadOS 17 is now available for Apple Developer Program members, with the public beta to be available in July. iPadOS 17 is expected to be available for iPad (6th generation and later), iPad mini (5th generation and later), iPad Air (3rd generation and later), 12.9-inch iPad Pro (2nd generation and later), 10.5-inch iPad Pro, and 11-inch iPad Pro (1st generation and later) at around September 2023. Apple has confirmed that iOS 26, iPadOS 26, watchOS 26, macOS 26, and visionOS 26 will roll out on September 15, 2025.
