The iPadOS 14 update unleashed dozens of new features to the iPad, though users miss four features they want to see.

The day after its annual September event, dubbed 'Time Flies' this year, Apple released the iOS 14 and iPadOS 14, both promising to unleash several new features that users could use. The updates did not disappoint as many users who downloaded and installed them gushed over the new apps and improved functions of the old apps. In the case of the iPadOS, however, users noticed that some features which are on iOS 14 are absent on the iPad OS 14. Users then compiled the top four features that they believe iPadOS needs to have.

Apple's iOS 14 brought huge improvements to compatible iPhones that include an improved Home Screen with widget support, an overhauled Safari, an App Library to organize apps, improvements in Messages, updated widget designs, a Translate app, and many more. Most of these features are also available with the iPadOS 14, although users noticed four key features were left out which many believed the iPadOS need.

Aside from new features not included on the latest iPadOS 14 update, there are also long-desired iPadOS improvements that are still not included in the update, even if users were clamoring for them for many years. Among the four features, the users think iPadOS need to have is the ability to customize widgets on the Home Screen. While you can easily do this on iOS 14 devices, users are barred from transferring a widget from the Today View and move it to the Home Screen.


If you are fond of putting seldom-used apps on your iPhone's App Library, then you might want to prepare yourself for the fact that this feature is missing from your iPad and is in fact one of the four features that users believe the iPadOS needs to have. Along with this missing feature is the inability of iPad users to easily get to the screen with the directory of all your installed apps.

Another important and useful feature that iOS 14 devices have is the Translate app. Unfortunately like many other useful features, the Translate app is not available on the iPadOS. Owners think the app should not have been omitted as it is one of the top four features that the iPadOS needs to have. The app is a major iOS 14 addition that allows you to translate foreign languages into your own language instantaneously. It works both on spoken and text inputs and is a handy tool when you are traveling to a foreign country.

The full screen extended display is among the four features that users say the iPadOS needs to have but it seems Apple always forgets to include it with its new updates. With the iPad Pro and, according to reports, the forthcoming iPad Air, owners can use their USB-C port to mirror the screen on an external display. However, the feature appears half-baked as the extended display is not on full screen and there is also no option to turn off the display of the iPad when mirroring to an external monitor.
