Great developments in the design of the user interface that have allowed us to progressively contemplate the evolution of the user interface from iOS to iPadOS over the last few years. Of course, we tell you one thing: let’s hope that the day iPadOS 20 arrives there will be enough news… Now yes, let’s get started!

iPadOS 17 design news

This year Apple’s software engineering team has done a commendable job. An excellent redesign has been implemented in many UI elements of iPadOS 17 . Changes that not only provide an improved visual aesthetic, but also enhance the user experience of the operating system with more dynamic, more intuitive and more versatile functions.

1. New wallpaper animation

The stellar appearance on the scene of iPadOS 17 – and iOS 17 – has arrived along with a new and colorful wallpaper with green, yellow and pink waves. The iPadOS 17 wallpaper has a nice animation when you turn on the iPad screen that makes the colored waves rise gently until they hide a small portion of the digits that make up the time.

2. Side section for widgets

In addition to having a new wallpaper animation, the lock screen has now incorporated a side section specially designed to place widgets . We would have really liked the widgets to be a little more colorful, but that’s probably an energy efficiency issue. This new design is only available with the iPad in landscape orientation.

3. Messages dropdown menu

Apple has implemented many functions in Messages with iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 and one of the most aesthetic novelties lies in the introduction of a new drop-down menu that will replace the previous application bar and stickers from previous versions of the operating system. It is a new drop-down menu with a very nice and minimalist design that includes access to: Camera, Photos, Stickers, Audio, Location, Store, Digital Touch, Memoji, Music and other third-party apps.

We would be deceiving you like vile scoundrels if we did not say that this is one of the design innovations that has amazed us the most. Not only because of the subtle and elegant beauty of its user interface , but also because of the functionality it provides to Messages through its mechanism. Good, Apple!

First of all, the button to send voice notes has changed. It is no longer a gigantic panel that took up half the screen like in iOS 16 or iPadOS 16. No sir. Now when you send your first audio message, a small audio note-shaped icon appears and returns (oh yeah!) to where it belonged : in the lower right corner of the iPad screen, right next to it. the right of the text entry field . So, yes.

But this is not all… there is still more. When you start recording an audio message or voice memo, a new interface element appears that shows you the sound wave indicator in red tones . When you finish recording, the element returns to its classic gray and blue colors.

Do you want more? There is more. Transcribing audio messages to text has arrived in iPadOS 17 . Every time you send or receive a voice note you can read the message in a text located just below the audio. Just in case you can’t or don’t want to listen to the voice memo on your iPad. Thanks Apple. It is especially useful in meetings, video conferences or family meals.

5. Tweaks to Siri Voice Dictation

Speaking of voice memos… What about Siri voice dictation? Well, Apple has not only improved its operation with great new features in iPadOS 17, but it has also modified certain design aspects of its icons , including a new blue circular indicator. A small detail that is very cool… very cool

6. Interactive widgets

We continue with one of the most anticipated developments by the Apple community, the interactive widgets of iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 . From now on, iPhone and iPad users will be able to execute actions within the widgets themselves from the home screen – while previously the widgets redirected to their apps – to complete to-do lists, activate home automation accessories or manage calendar events . A feature that will undoubtedly be very useful in iPadOS 17. And what a beautiful design they have!
