Everything new in iPadOS 27, in one place... plus the free SmartGuide that keeps it all straight. 👉 https://tmw.s.gy/C2QQsF

iPadOS 27 is here, and getting the most out of your iPad starts with knowing which new features actually matter. This is your guided tour of the best iPadOS 27 features... the settings you notice on day one, the apps that finally got fixed, and the brand new Siri AI. ✨

Every year the iPad update arrives and most of it quietly passes you by. Not this one. iPadOS 27 gives the iPad tools the iPhone and the Mac did not get, and we walk through them app by app... what was awkward before, and what works now. These are practical iPad tips you will actually use, not power user tricks.

Apple Intelligence and the new Siri AI run all the way through this update, and at the end there is a MacWhisperer Power Tip that only works on an iPad. 🪄

Thanks for the video. Unfortunately, the new Siri AI is not available for most of us. In fact, I don’t know anyone who actually has access to it. You have to get on a waiting list for the beta version. Who knows when that will actually become available. You might have to recycle this video next year. Lol

I love this about being able to filter my photos to only the ones that I captured. All my friends travel like I do so sometimes I get confused as to whose photo is who’s. I don’t take selfies so that doesn’t help. I just wanna make sure that I’m not stealing someone else’s photos when I’m using them for my own work.

As always, love your videos. So informative and you teach me all the important new features of my apple products and apps.

@debrapeak3336 2 weeks ago

Great video but that Search animation doesn't work on my iPad Pro (M5). I just get the Notifications screen. Why?

@sinkandrelax 3 weeks ago

If you’ve just installed it, it is important to give it time to finish indexing, which may take hours or even days, and in the meantime can affect performance and even some features. Once it’s finished indexing, all should be well.

why don't you mention the seri waitlist?

I’m running the public version of iPadOS 27 but none of the new Safari tools will work for me. Any attempt I make to have a website notify me of something tells me that my request isn’t possible, and automatically organizing tabs by topic does nothing at all either for me. I tried creating an extension that automatically creates tab groups and place open tabs into an appropriate group, and got told that Safari doesn’t support extensions despite the create extension option clearly being available in the browser settings controls.

What happened to writing tools?

Hi Dylan
Sadly I have a first gen iPad Pro which means that I don’t get all the sexy stuff. I need to fix that :-)

For the most part I’m enjoying what iOS 27 has achieved but one thing I wish they’d left well alone was the cropping feature when editing photos as it would now appear you can no longer control the vertical and horizontal shape of the crop, it just crops the whole image. This is annoying when perhaps all you want to do is reduce the black bar at the top and bottom as it automatically reduces at the sides as well.
Or do you know of anything to make this as it was in previous versions?
Footnote: after playing around with this a bit more I found that there’s a lock/unlock for the aspect ratio once that is turned off this returns to normal or the Freeform tab will accomplish the same result!
I’ve left the original part of my comment as a reference just in case anyone else has experienced the same issue.

I only wish Shortcuts worked as you described. After a couple of hours, I almost had something that would run when I said “Siri, Good Morning.” The last few things in my wish, were to have it play 2 news headlines podcasts and then smooth jazz on Apple Music, through the HomePods. Welp, after a few quick tweaks from Siri, I let perfect get in the way of good. All the automation vanished and I had to start all over again, surrendering my wish for the podcast and music to play. Shortcuts are my biggest disappointment from Apple and I love everything they do. It’s no wonder nobody uses them as intended.
