Is there a way to add a link in control center to the calculator on the iPad so it’s the same as on the iPhone.

Nope.


There has never, ever been a native calculator app for iPad.

Apple never finished developing or designing an acceptable and unique calculator app for iPad.

And, for the past 10 years, now, since, there is a whole third party, iOS App Store marketplace/cottage industry for a plethora of exceptional iPad calculator apps, now!

So, a native iPadOS calculator app for iPad is, now, not even being considered, any longer, by Apple.

Apple had an opportunity to create a unique iPad calculator app for iPad with the totally redesigned iPadOS, but Apple, once again, squandered this perfect opportunity.

There is also NO real Wallet app OR Health app for iPad, either.


You will need to go to the iOS App Store and decide on a free or paid ( to remove ads ) third party calculator apps.


If you are one of these groups of users who are, vehemently, opposed to paying any third party iPad calculator app developer for their work in creating such apps, here is, but one totally free ( no ads ) calculator app that you can add to your iPad, from the iOS App Store .


Sci:Pro Calculator.

There are many more third party calculator apps. Some free with ads.

Others that range from $0.99- $2.99 that offer both no ads and additional features that add value to their calculator apps.

The choices are up to you..



There is no way to fully integrate third party calculator apps into iOS/iPadOS.

Some calculator apps MAY use a widget for the Widgets panel, but I have NO CLUE which ones



Best of Luck to You!
