This new release mirrors many features familiar to iPhone users, while harnessing iPadOS's multitasking capabilities to enhance user experience on a larger screen. ## Key Features - **Audio and Video Calls**: Users can now make video and audio calls with up to 32 participants directly from their iPad. This expanded communication option also includes screen sharing either from the front or back cameras. - **Multitasking Support**: The app is fully optimized for iPadOS's multitasking features, such as Stage Manager, Split View, and Slide Over.
