Squeeze the Apple Pencil Pro to quickly switch tools, colors or undo using the new floating tool palette. The tool palette is also available on the Apple Pencil (2nd gen.) through the double-tap gesture.
Using an Apple Pencil now shows a hover preview as you approach the screen. If a tool is selected, the preview will include the tool and the selected color. The pointer will also change with the content of the PDF to indicate when text can be selected.
Launch directly into the document scanner from the Control Center or use it instead of the torchlight and camera controls on your Lock Screen. Highlights will automatically perform OCR (on device) to make the PDFs searchable after scanning - no Pro subscription required!
Use the new customization sheet to tint both app icons and widgets to your favorite color. For an even cleaner look switch to Large icons to hide app names.
