Been using it for about 5 mins and it's already much smoother on my iPad pro 11" 2nd gen
So I just updated and my M1 IPP 5th Gen 13 is MUCH better in Safari now.. to the point it completely removed my desire for upgrading to an M4/M5 iPad Pro
The text of notes in Quick Notes overlapping with the toolbar: this is mostly fixed (but if you have Safari open you might still see problems). But the Quick Notes toolbar still consumes too much of the Note window.
Text in Safari’s Reader mode still overlaps the status bar on my iPad A16 when held in portrait orientation 🤨

I’m a bit lost now that command H hides the app now, how do I go to to the home screen from the keyboard? I love that this is more aligned with macOS, but I think Command + Mission Control key (or whatever it’s called, above the 3) should show desktop like macOS.
When using an external keyboard, Command H used to take you to the Home Screen. Now it hides the app (similar to macOS).
Still takes me to the Home Screen? I’m using the Stage Manager mode, fwiw.
iPadOS 26.1 RC was much better than 26.0 on my mini7
Going to GM
might wait for 26.1 GM feedback on my 17pro before updating for a day or two because 26.0 has been fine on that device for me

For me, multi window been acting weird after 26.1 when external display is connected. My window would auto rearrange and go off screen, and opening one app the other app on the screen would fly away for some reason. I need to downgrade…
Tinted will only show up in the notification panel and photos app. It doesn’t come in the control panel or the passcode screen. Its really half baked tbh.
I just learned that we can now turn off that “swipe from the right for the camera” on the lock screen! This alone is practically enough to make iOS/iPadOS 26.1 a must-have upgrade!
There are all these small annoyances. Like the new “recently saved” tab in safari. Takes up heaps of space and there is no way to get rid of it. Same with the number of links listing on bookmark folders.
Is apple going to add every single feature to make things “easier” or clearer for a cohort that doesn’t really exist?

I’m seeing a new bug in Safari, where the controls at the top switch to dark mode when Safari loses and then regains focus.
I know it’s not a huge deal but the collective weight of these small things is really getting on my nerves. 😠

New (seeming) bug I just encountered on iPhone 13 with 26.1 - when I have a picture open in landscape and I take a screen grab of it (vol up + power) then click the "markup" marker icon to draw a highlight/circle something, the image gets shrunk inwards so it's far smaller than the fullscreen image I grabbed, which makes it a lot harder to draw the marker on the part of the image I'm after. I don't recall this happening in 18.x
