Today at WWDC, Apple announced a handful of changes to the iPad for the upcoming iPadOS 26, including making it feel a little bit more like a Mac with window control and tiling, the same Games app that's also available for MacOS and the iPhone, and of course, more Apple Intelligence.

All these new features won't roll out onto your iPad until this fall, but if you're keen on checking out the features iPadOS 26 has to offer now, you can download the beta version of the OS and take a peek at what's in store. However, as with any beta, be aware that it can be full of bugs and not optimized for speed and efficiency.
