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 One nice touch they could add is making the grab handles more spatially aware. You can already see in your screenshot that it can tell what is on the left side of the display (lower right grab handle) vs the right (lower left grab handle) but the second row of apps should really be presenting grab handles in the upper right and upper left corners since they’re at the bottom of the display.

Anywho - just glad to see they’re still working on this thing
