You can now message someone to bring them into the note, use hashtags to organize your thoughts, and see all activity on shared notes through a new activity viewer. Notes is getting a significant update: shared notes. When you're in split view, you can swipe down from either side of the screen to go to the home page and select a new app for that space, as well. Previously, you had to use the iPadOS dock to do this, which made new multitasking views with apps that weren't in your dock rather tricky. When you pick a mode, you'll get a view of your home screen to easily pick the app that you want to add to your view. From here, you can select if you want to go into single app, Split View or Slideover multitasking. There are also some new multitasking tools that can be selected from the top of the iPad's screen. Ultimately, it sounds like the iPhone and iPad home screen experiences are now essentially identical, which is definitely a good thing. The App Library is a central location for every app on your iPad, which means you can customize your home screens by hiding apps you don't use as often.

There are new designs for widgets that take advantage of the larger screen, and the App Library (that also launched on the iPhone last year) is coming to the iPad as well.

Now, you can place widgets anywhere on the home screen you want previously, they were stuck in a column on the left side of the home page.

First off is a redesigned home screen that now supports widgets, just like iOS 14 did on the iPhone. Naturally, there are some new features specifically coming to the iPad, as well. Apple just announced a boatload of new features in iOS 15, and most of those are coming to the iPad vis iPadOS 15, as well.
