Everything new that’s coming to your iPad with iPadOS 26.4

Apple has released the fourth developer beta of iPadOS 26.4, which means the stable release is right around the corner. There are plenty of new features in this new update, which generally don’t happen so late in the OS update cycle. Here are all the major changes your iPad will get with the new iPadOS 26.4 update.

Apple Music gets a serious glow-up

The biggest change is in Apple Music. The app now features a fully immersive look, with album art filling the entire screen while the colors, text, and UI adapt to match.

You can now create AI-generated playlists by simply describing what you want using the new Playlist Playground feature. Type in “study session” or “old party songs,” and Apple Music builds a playlist for you in seconds.
