Unless it has unrestricted sideloading I'm staying on iPadOS 15 with TrollStore.

Where’s stage manager?

Under the multitasking on the settings general. It is disabled as a default

 

[slplss]

EVERYONE STOP

I need to download it quickly

Gotta manage da stage!

A very sad and depressive day to all of us who still using iPad Air 2 from 2014.

Still using my iPad Air 2 on a daily basis as a consumption device, but I stayed on 13.8 which I still find very usable.

I am on the new iPadOS and so far I haven’t really noticed anything different about it.

So nice to have the Weather app on my iPads, finally.

Turn on stage manager

And BugFest starts now… I just hope it’s the only one which I have to report via Feedback
Forgot to tell that Lock Screen editing is a joke

Agreed. Replacing mine tomorrow with the Air 5 for hopefully the next 8 years.

Just loaded. Turned on stage manager, and first thought after 5 minutes: I don’t like it. It is cumbersome and not intuitive. However, I know that it will take time, so I will give it a few days. I almost always use my iPad with 3 windows, side by side and then maybe a movie or something in PIP. So, trying to use that in Stage manager works, but not quite in the same manner.. Stay tuned….

An 8 year old iPad? You should be glad it was upgradeable until now, and it probably still get some more minor updates and fixes for its current iPadOS version. There's so much juice you can get from an Apple, you know?

Good thing you can quickly turn it on/off from the Command Center.
I have mixed feelings about it, I think it could have been better than what it is now. The column with recent apps on the left seems like wasted space to me. Also, being unable to close apps with a gesture in some cases, will take time to get used to.

Strange, it's still not popping up in Canada for me on my 2018 ipad pro. Guess they forgot about us. . . like always, lol.

Nearly 90min later, and still not available on my iPad. Mac, Watch, and iPhone got it right away.

Tried multiple reboots, disconnecting from Wi-Fi, and no profiles on the device.

iPadOS 16.1 downloading much faster than iOS 16.1

First time using stage manager on my iPad Pro 12.9 3rd gen (2018), and have to say, I am loving it. Probably some bugs and annoyances that I am yet to came across. Agree about being unable to close apps with gestures.

 

[Dionte]

I can't believe they removed external display support.

 

[infinitejest]

Anyone installed it on a 5. Generation iPad? Not sure if I should do it or not.

 

[dontwalkhand]

I thought I was going to be able to customize the home screen like I would on iPhone. Sigh, I guess not.

 

[dsaponaro]

Installed the RC (20B79) last week. Since this is a slightly different build (20B82) how does one upgrade to todays final? Nothing is showing up in software update for me.

Which iPad do you have?

 

[BasedReborn]

I’m liking stage manager so far, having the ability for more windows is cool. If it wasn’t for 12.9 inch i feel like it would be cramped.

Ok so it seems like the shared library adds a free functionality that google photos have had for a long time. Auto-add images to a shared album with specific people.

I'm glad its not a paid function but I guess welcome
