Apple has updated its suite of productivity apps to support the company’s newest mobile operating system version.
Apple on Monday officially updated its first-party productivity apps —Numbers, Pages, and Keynote— to support iOS 13. That means you can expect to find support for dark mode in Pages and Numbers, both on iOS 13 and iPadOS, as well as the ability to work with two documents from the same app side-by-side with iPadOS. Keynote does not add support for dark mode, though.
There are other fixes and patches, as well as general improvements as well. Here’s the official changelog:
