iPadOS 27 introduces several highly requested features and customization options. Here are the top highlights to try:

Customization & Interface:

Liquid Glass: Adjust the transparency and visual style of interface elements via settings (0:13).
Enhanced Home Screen: Use the new paintbrush icon to customize layouts, and take advantage of the new undo/redo buttons while organizing your home screen (0:49).
Extra-Large Widgets: Many Apple apps now support new, larger, and interactive widgets, including Music, TV, and Calendar (1:45).
Lock Screen Flexibility: You can now remove the “Now Playing” widget and shrink the clock to the top of the display (2:50).

Productivity & System Tools:

Notes App: Easily insert divider lines to organize text and export notes as Markdown files (3:43).
Independent Volume Control: You can finally set custom volume levels individually for alarms, timers, alerts, and system sounds (6:14).
Safari Updates: The browser now supports automatic tab organization based on topics and a “Notify Me” feature to track website changes (7:45).
Shortcuts: You can now create automations using natural language descriptions (10:49).

Siri & Photos:

Siri AI: Features a new design, improved contextual understanding, and a dedicated app (12:12).
Photos Editing: Includes powerful AI-driven tools like Extend and Reframe to professionally alter your images (13:11).

Following the public release of iPadOS 27 on September 14, 2026, Apple’s tablet software brings highly anticipated design updates and Apple Intelligence integrations. [1, 2]

Whether you just updated your iPad Pro, Air, mini, or base model, these are the very first features, layout changes, and settings adjustments you should try out.

1. Reclaim the Lock Screen Clock & Play with Siri

Shrink the Clock: Tap on the time from your Lock Screen and select the new option to shrink the clock down to a tiny font. This creates massive visual clearance for showcasing custom wallpapers without obstructive text blocking faces or details. [3, 4]
The New Siri Bubble: Drag around the fun new fluid search bubble on your lock screen. It acts as your primary anchor for the completely redesigned, contextual Siri AI chat interface. [1, 4]

2. Maximize the Home Screen Layout

XXL Double-Size Widgets: You can now expand native and third-party widgets into massive extra-large sizes. Press and hold your Home Screen, tap the paintbrush icon, and drag the corner of supported apps—like Calendar or Apple Music—to stretch them into spacious canvas layouts. [4, 5, 6]
The “Undo” Safety Net: If you accidentally move a widget or mess up your app layout while configuring your new screen, look at the upper-left corner of the Home Screen. A dedicated Undo button now lets you immediately revert your last action. [3, 6]

3. Adjust the “Liquid Glass” Interface Translucency

Apple rebuilt its signature visual materials for sharper readability. Head to Settings > Appearance > Liquid Glass to find a brand-new personalization slider. You can customize the look of the OS anywhere from ultra-clear to a heavily tinted, diffused aesthetic. [7, 8]

4. Put Windowed Apps & Stage Manager to the Test

Sticky External Monitors: If you plug your M-series iPad into an external display, window positions are now completely stable. Windows stay securely locked exactly where you left them instead of shifting around when disconnecting.
Auto-Hide Menu Bar: You can choose to automatically hide or show the top menu bar within Stage Manager. Hiding it expands your application space to look and feel exactly like a full desktop toolbar in macOS.
Active Status Headings: When multi-windowing, the status bar at the top of the iPad screen now dynamically renders the name of the specific application you are actively typing or working in. [6, 9]

5. Level Up Your Apple Notes

Native Dividers & Header Links: You no longer need to type out rows of dashes to format text. Notes now features built-in divider lines. Additionally, you can create internal navigation links that jump directly to different headers inside a long note.
Markdown Support: The Notes app finally fully supports copying and pasting structural Markdown format natively without messing up text weights and indicators. [3, 6]

6. Set Up Smart Automation Triggers

Open the Shortcuts app to test the new hardware automation anchors. You can set custom commands to trigger automatically the exact second you clip your iPad into a Magic Keyboard or attach a Bluetooth keyboard—instantly opening preset app grids, launching work documents, or toggling focus profiles. [6]

To narrow down your setup, let me know:

What model of iPad are you using (e.g., iPad Pro with an M-chip, iPad Air, or iPad mini)?
Do you use an Apple Pencil or an external Magic Keyboard for your daily routine?
