My favourite iPadOs 26 features and why!

Apple just announced ios26 and it’s dropping September 16th, and as an iPad girly, I’m so ready.

First up: Liquid Display. It’s customizable, it’s dynamic, and you know I love switching up the look of my iPad. I can’t wait to see how deep the personalization goes.

Then there’s Stage Manager. Literally my favorite productivity tool, and it’s finally getting the updates it needs to be smoother and more intuitive. Yes, please.

And Apple said, ‘Let’s make the journaling girls happy,’ because we’re finally getting a native journaling app on iPad! You already know I’m about to move my entire life into it.

Last but not least: the Phone app is finally coming to iPad. As someone who uses a Mac, an iPhone, and an iPad all at once, this is the seamless update I’ve been needing. No more weird contact sync issues. Just vibes!!
