A:Answer 1. It’s iPadOS. It’s similar to iPhone’s iOS. If you own an iPhone already, it should feel the exact same.
2. Yes. iPadOS does receive regular updates, usually alongside all other Apple devices, like WatchOS, iOS, and MacOS. It doesn’t always notify you to update right away, but not upgrading won’t hurt the performance. After some time, the notification of an available update shows up right on the main screen of your Settings, if you haven’t updated.
3. Apps are usually upgraded over night. The iPad will do it on its own, depending on the app. Popular apps are more common to update on their own than lesser-known apps.
4. iPadOS updates usually get bigger and bigger, taking up more native space on your device, but the device will offload any unused apps after a while, clearing up space.
