IPadOS version history refers to the chronological series of updates and enhancements made to IPadOS, the mobile operating system developed by Apple Inc. specifically for its iPad tablet computers. The first version of iPadOS was released in 2019, and it has since undergone several updates to improve functionality, security, and user experience.

Overview[edit | edit source]

IPadOS was introduced in 2019 as a derivative of iOS, Apple's operating system for its iPhone and iPod Touch devices. The decision to create a separate operating system for the iPad was driven by the need to optimize the larger screen size and capabilities of the iPad, which were not being fully utilized by iOS.
