If you use Apple products and haven\u2019t been living under a rock, you\u2019ll no doubt have heard of the updates from <\/span>Apple Park<\/span><\/a> over the last few weeks. Alongside the<\/span> iPhone 8, 8 Plus and X<\/span><\/a> came the public release of <\/span>iOS 11<\/span><\/a>, the latest version of their mobile operating system. Having spent some time getting to grips with the new OS I thought I’d share my top picks of the new features.<\/span>

If you\u2019re an iPad user, the task bar is probably the first thing you\u2019ll notice. Aside from an aesthetic update you\u2019ll notice a divider to the right, recently used apps will sit on the right and your docked apps towards the left. The bigger changes start to show as you try and access the control centre. When in an app and you swipe up you don\u2019t get the control centre, but the task bar instead. This is what will help you with multitasking (more on that next). To get the control centre on the iPad, you just keep swiping up. <\/span><\/p>\n
