The next generation of Apple Intelligence and Siri. New features to help parents create safe digital experiences for kids. And an expansive set of platform improvements, including design updates and performance enhancements. The WWDC26 Keynote gave us a glimpse of groundbreaking features coming to iPadOS 27. Here’s a recap.

Siri AI is powered by Apple Intelligence and more helpful than ever. Get more done every day with richer answers, natural conversations, and a new dedicated app. You can ask for an in-depth plan, feedback on a document, or help with creative brainstorming.

Apple Intelligence makes your everyday apps smarter and more useful – from browsing the web in Safari to expressing your creativity with Image Playground. You can also compose and edit emails in your own writing style, or let the Passwords app navigate through account pages and update eligible compromised passwords.

iPadOS is a safe and trusted platform for kids and teens, with powerful, intuitive, industry-leading child safety features that help parents and guardians keep kids safe – while preserving their privacy. You decide what content your kids can see, who they’re allowed to communicate with, when they can use their devices, and more, as you help guide them on their digital journey. And new features provide parents with guidance based on expert health research to help them decide what’s right for their kids.

Visual Intelligence on iPad lets you learn and take action on virtually anything on your screen. Simply select the specific region on your display that you’re curious about – such as a part of an image or a PDF – and Siri AI can answer your questions.

Updates to Liquid Glass ensure exceptional readability with more uniform refraction and improved contrast. Uniform toolbars, edge-to-edge sidebars, and updated window shapes and menu-bar icons deliver a more refined experience. A new slider lets you easily customise how Liquid Glass looks, from ultra-clear to fully tinted.

From faster AirDrop transfers to more relevant search results in Mail, enhancements throughout iPadOS 27 make the experience more responsive, reliable, and delightful. You can now browse and transfer files between external drives and iPad faster – making it just as fast as Finder on Mac.

Apple Intelligence on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27, and visionOS 27 is available on all iPhone 16 models and later, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPad mini (A17 Pro), iPad models with M1 and later, MacBook Neo (A18 Pro), Mac models with M1 and later, Apple Vision Pro with M2 and later, Apple Watch Series 9 and later, Apple Watch Ultra 2 and later, and Apple Watch SE 3 when paired with an Apple Intelligence – enabled iPhone nearby, with Siri and device language set to Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, or Vietnamese.
