iPadOS 18’s new tab bar is more powerful than it first appears

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/06/ipados18-tab-bar.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600)</div><p>iPadOS 18 is a huge release for the iPad, but most of its changes aren’t iPad-exclusive. New customization tools (https://9to5mac.com/2024/07/26/ios-18-all-the-ways-you-can-customize-your-iphone/), Apple Intelligence (https://9to5mac.com/2024/08/07/what-is-apple-intelligence-heres-how-ai-will-change-the-way-you-use-your-iphone/), and various app updates (https://www.apple.com/ipados/ipados-18-preview/) are coming to iPhone too. </p>



<p>One iPad-only feature is a redesigned tab bar for apps. iPad apps have historically used a similar tab bar to what’s found on the iPhone. Tabs would live at the bottom of the screen. But iPadOS 18 changes that with a new tab bar UI that floats at the top of the screen.</p>



<p>The new tab bar also comes with a secret weapon: you can customize it to add the menu options you care about most.</p>
