Freeform is a new collaborative tool coming to iPhone, iPad, and Mac later this year. Integrated with FaceTime and iMessage, FreeForm will allow users to start a collaborative session with family, friends, or colleagues in real-time to brainstorm, share files, write or draw, add comments, and more.
Freeform’s canvas is perfect for diagramming new projects, aggregating important assets, or just brainstorming on a board limited only by your imagination.
External Display support on iPadOS will enable users to connect their iPads to an external monitor to improve their multitasking experience. As part of the now available Stage Manager, the feature was not released in the latest iPadOS 16.1. It is likely to be included in iPadOS 16.2.
