Main features of iPadOS 17
In the latest update, Apple has introduced a number of notable additions to the iPad. One of these additions is the ability to customize the lock screen, giving users more control over the look and feel of their device. In addition, Apple has introduced the Health app on the iPad for the first time, expanding the range of health and wellness features available to iPad users.
Building on the introduction of the Weather app last year, Apple has now brought the Health app to iPadOS. With an optimized design for the iPad screen, the Favorites section has been given a fresh look, giving users easy access to their most used functions. In addition, users can now gain valuable insights into their health data through the introduction of Trends, Highlights and detailed interactive charts. In addition, iPad users can now easily track and manage their medications, use Cycle Tracking for reproductive health monitoring, record their temporal emotions and daily moods, and even view their health records from multiple institutions, among other functionalities.
In addition to these updates, Apple has also improved widget interactivity with iPadOS 17. Users can now perform tasks with a simple tap directly from the widgets. Turning on the lights, playing a song, or marking a reminder as done can all be done in the moment, right from a widget.
