With iPadOS, the supported iPads will now have tablet-specific functionality that won’t be available on the iPhones. Multitasking is going to be a major goal in this new approach with support for opening multiple apps on the home screen and also widgets similar to Android. Earlier, the home screen on iPads was limited to a single app as it is on iOS 13. The widgets will be visible on the home screen along with the app icons and they can be customised across the screen.
