iPadOS 16, con Stage Manager
The most awaited novelty of iPadOS 16 and macOS Ventura is Stage Manager. This is a new multitasking feature that automatically organizes the apps and open windows to allow the user to focus on the current activity and at the same time to see everything at a glance. The window in use remains in the foreground in the center, while the others appear grouped on the left of the screen, allowing you to switch on the fly from one activity to another. Stage Manager also allows you to connect Apple devices to external monitors, a very useful function.
