Android 15 Developer Preview 2 introduces satellite messaging support for apps, but limits enhanced messaging with RCS to preloaded applications only. The update also includes improvements to the built-in PDF reader and aims to address the challenges posed by flip phone-style foldables by allowing apps to opt-in to supporting them. The second developer preview is available for select Pixel devices, with the stable release expected around October.
The public beta version of iPadOS 17 is now available for download, offering several improvements to the iPad experience. The multitasking system, Stage Manager, allows for more fluid app arrangement and better utilization of screen space. The lock screen has been upgraded with better displays and more interactive widgets. The Health app has finally made its way to the iPad, although it does not support pairing with the Apple Watch. Other features include improved PDF support, the addition of Stickers, and a voice replication feature for assistive purposes. Overall, while not revolutionary, iPadOS 17 enhances the iPad experience and brings it closer to a seamless integration within Apple's ecosystem.
Apple has unveiled iPadOS 17 with interactive widgets, customizable lock screen, and a redesigned Health app. The update also includes PDF support in the Notes app with live collaboration, improvements to Stage Manager, and the ability to use an external camera for video calls. The update will be available for consumers in the fall, with a developer beta available now and a public beta in July.
