Apple has officially released iOS 16.5 and iPadOS 16.5 for all supported iPhone and iPad models.
After recently launching the second version RC (Release Candidate) of iOS 16.5 and iPadOS 16.5, Apple has made available to its users the download of the official version of iPadOS 16.5 for all supported iPad models. This is a rather interesting software update, since it includes new features of great importance.
Last week, the company founded by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak already indirectly announced that iOS 16.5 would be released this week after indicating it in the requirements for the new LGTB+ spheres and straps for Apple Watch. And they have kept their word. You can now download iOS 16.5 and iPadOS 16.5 on your iPhone and iPad.
New features available for iPadOS 16.5
These are all the news that have landed with iPadOS 16.5 and iOS 16.5.
New sports tab in Apple News
The new iPadOS 16.5 update for iPad has incorporated a new section in the content menu of the Apple News application.
From now on, the sports section will have its own tab in the menu so that users can access it in a much more comfortable and intuitive way.
Screen recording with Siri voice commands
With the stellar appearance of iPadOS 16.5, iPad users will have the opportunity to start and stop a screen recording through Siri, simply by using a voice command as simple as “Record the screen”, “Start recording the screen” or similar.
In the 9to5mac video that we have attached on these lines, you can take a look at how screen recording works on an iPhone through Siri.
Play multiple videos in PiP

Finally, another of the great features that Apple has implemented in iPadOS 16.5 is support for simultaneous playback of up to four videos on streaming using the Picture-in-Picture functionality. Although this feature is likely to be limited to sports content.
Apple recently launched its new MLS subscription plans so that users – including Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries – can follow Major League Soccer in the United States via streaming from Apple ecosystem devices such as iPhone, iPad, Mac, etc. This, perhaps, is a function of iOS 16.5 predestined for this type of content.
For those unfamiliar with the term, Picture-in-Picture refers to the playback of videos in close-up, thumbnail and overlay over other background apps.
How to download iPadOS 16.5 on your iPad
Users registered in the Apple Developer Program have had access to the beta versions of iOS 16.5 and iPadOS 16.5. But now the final version of iPadOS 16.5 is available from Settings > General > Software update without the need to download a profile to their devices.
On the other hand, if you want to be part of the Beta Software Program to discover the news of each update before anyone else and install the public beta versions of iOS and iPadOS you can sign up on the official Apple website.
iPad models compatible with iPadOS 16.5
Below we have listed the list of iPad models that are compatible with the new iPadOS 16.5 software update. In theory, all iPads running iPadOS 16 will be able to install this update, so if you have a version of iPadOS 16 on your iPad there should be no problem downloading iPadOS 16.5.
