The Complete
iPadOS
Manual
This year, the iPad got its own operating system. It no longer
runs on iOS and instead uses iPadOS, a brand new platform for
Apple’s tablet range. The brand new iPadOS has a lot in
common with the iPhone's iOS, of course. In fact, most of the
great new features included in the new iOS 13 are also found in
iPadOS. In The Complete iPadOS Manual, we bring you a
comprehensive guide to the Apple tablet, its operating system,
and its key apps. We take an in-depth look at its features old
and new, presented in a plain English, easy-to-follow style. With
our help, you'll soon be an iPad expert!

iPad Multitasking
Updated in iPadOS
The iPad has been able to multitask, that is, run two apps side by side,
for quite a while now. In the new iPadOS, this feature has been improved
substantially; you can even run the same app twice. Your iPad must be
recent enough to use multitasking, though if it can run iPadOS, it probably is.

When using an app, you might find you need
access to a different app, maybe to look up or
