Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

Is the IPad Os update out yet?

My iPhone has updated to the iOS 16 and is working perfectly fine but I can’t use certain apps on my iPad that are connected to my phone (eg. Instagram)

iPad, 15

Unlike iOS16 for iPhone, released 12th September, iPadOS16 is not due for release until sometime in October. For reasons known only to Apple, release dates for iOS for iPhone and iPadOS for iPad have been deliberately staggered.


However, iPadOS 15.7 was also released 12th September - incorporating essential security updates.

While iOS16 is available for iPhone, iPhone owners have the option to just install iOS15.7 at this time.


More information about the forthcoming iPadOS16 can be found here:

  • iPad Pro (all models)
  • iPad Air (3rd generation and later)
