iPadOS 16 introduces a range of significant new features, such as an entirely new multitasking option for the iPad. However, there are also numerous smaller and more subtle enhancements, modifications, and additions that iPad users will find quite useful.

Take a look at the list below, and feel free to share your favorite new features with iPadOS 16 in the comments section.

1: Stage Manager Multitasking

Stage Manager adds a fresh multitasking interface to the iPad, enabling multiple apps to be displayed on the screen simultaneously in windowed form.

You can enable Stage Manager from the Control Center. Once activated, newly launched apps will open by default in windowed mode within Stage Manager. Within this environment, you can adjust the size and position of app windows.

2: Weather App Arrives

The long-awaited Weather app has finally made its way to the iPad, which is a welcome improvement. It seamlessly syncs with the weather locations already set up on your iPhone.

No more tapping a weather widget only to be redirected to a third-party website—now the weather widget opens directly into the dedicated Weather app on the iPad.

3: Column Sorting in Files App

Now, you can sort files by name, date, file size, and other column attributes in the Files app—a handy addition that has long been standard in major file managers across other platforms.

If you've been hoping for column sorting in the iPad's Files app, your wait is over.

4: Change File Extension in Files App

iPadOS now allows you to change file extensions directly within the Files app. This is another crucial and helpful feature, as changing extensions is a common need for many users.

5: Schedule Sending Emails in Mail App

The iPad’s Mail app now supports scheduling emails to be sent later—an excellent tool whether you're planning to send something at day’s end, tomorrow morning, next week, or for a special occasion like a birthday or anniversary.

Keep in mind that the iPad must remain powered on for this scheduled sending feature to function properly.

6: Undo Sending Emails in Mail App

The Mail app now lets you undo the sending of an email, a great feature for those moments when you hit 'send' and immediately realize you forgot a subject line or notice a typo.

By default, you have 10 seconds to cancel the send, but this can be extended up to 30 seconds in the Mail Settings.

After sending an email, look for the “Undo Send” prompt at the bottom of the screen.

7: Edit Sent iMessages in Messages App

With iPadOS 16, you can now edit messages you’ve already sent using the Messages app—useful for fixing typos or rephrasing awkward wording.

There is a time limit on how long after sending you can make edits, so don’t expect to alter old messages.

8: Unsend iMessages in Messages App

Once you've sent an iMessage, you now have a brief window during which you can retract it. Whether you said something in haste or accidentally sent a message to the wrong person, acting quickly gives you the option to unsend the message.
