I guess it depends on which iPad you have.

iOS 16 Next summer.

No iPadOS update for me.

It'll drop in the next couple of days i'm sure.

Been using it for a few hours. Liking it so far. We finally have the app drawer and better widget functionality.

 

[Wotchered]

could get it, I’ll see how long I can put it off !

 

[Annie_M]

The update s working well for me.

Really loving the new multitasking menu.

I finally have it. I have to say that while there are loads of new features I really like, I dislike the fact that all my home screen apps are now clustered together in the middle of the screen with a ton of empty space round them. It looks like a backward step in design to me, but i'm probably missing something.

Do you have large icons or small icons selected?

I actually really like the new layout.

I have large icons selected. With small icons it looks even worse in my opinion. It's not so much the gaps between the app icons themselves but all the space round the outside. I would far rather my apps spaced out more to fill the edges of the screen, like it was in iOS14 and earlier.

There has to be a good design reason why they did this that I am just not seeing, but I do not like it right now.

That’s a shame.

I understood what you were trying to convey, but having said that, I actually like the changes made especially in regards to the spaces on the sides of the iPad, I think it makes it look quite slick compared to how it was on iOS 14. Honestly it was starting to get a bit stale with the apps spread out and no widgets on the Home Screen.

The widgets are very welcome. I've been a fan of them for a while now so having them finally on my iPad home screen is fantastic.

if it wasn’t for apple forcing the widgets on my Home Screen with the update, I would have kept using them on the hidden left pane.

I don’t even have widgets on my home screen on my iPhone

My current iPadOS 15 Home Screen.

I will concede that the home screen looks pretty damn good when viewed in landscape on your iPad. I mainly use mine in portrait mode and it just doesn't look as good as landscape.

 

[Wotchered]

Done it, don’t like the Home screen at all, It is set up for widgets, I neither use them or see the point of them. Had to put the address bar back to the top in Safari. All in all a sad retrograde step.

 

[Wotchered]

Also!! How can you call the ikon size “large” ? It looks ridiculous with all those little ikons huddled in all that space.

I hate widgets. If there is a way to delete these widgets when they get put on put in the Home Screen I would install IOS 15.

Downloaded 15 but never installed.

You don’t have to use widgets

Simply long press on them and tap on “Remove Widget”. And vamos!
