Apple’s latest iPadOS 26 beta 3 introduces a new feature that brings the iPad experience one step closer to that of a Mac. The update enhances the iPad’s cursor functionality by adding a “shake to enlarge” effect, mirroring a feature long available on macOS. When users shake or move the cursor rapidly, it temporarily grows in size, making it much easier to spot on the screen. This is particularly helpful when using external keyboards and trackpads, especially on larger displays or when multitasking. Although the feature is still in beta and may have a few bugs or inconsistencies, early impressions are positive, and users are excited about the improved usability. Apple continues to refine the iPad as a productivity device, and this subtle yet impactful addition shows their commitment to enhancing the user interface.
