With iPadOS 17, Stage Manager is – finally – moving in the right direction.

Apple listened to feedback, reversed course on two major aspects of the original Stage Manager, and shipped something that feels *much* better to use already. I'm willing to give it another chance.

With iPadOS 17, Stage Manager Is (Finally) Moving in the Right Direction

I’m in Cupertino for WWDC this week, and after yesterday’s whirlwind of announcements and surprises, I had some time to sit down with my 12.9” iPad Pro, install iPadOS 17 beta 1 on it, and try the improved version of Stage Manager. As you know, I have a…complicated history with the iPad’s latest multitasking system.

@viticci Despite the shift clicking option it's still a shame that you consciously need to tell iPadOS to open an app in the current workspace. When in the flow, there's nothing worse than touching an app icon and be thrown out of the current stage into a new one. They should give us an option in Settings to choose if an app is added to a new stage or not by default. For me, it won't be fixed until this is addressed.
