Apple has released its update for iPadOS 26.4, which includes enhanced video podcast support and a selection of new emojis. The update is now available to the general public and includes bug fixes and performance improvements. The Podcasts app has been updated with enhanced support for video podcasts, including native video playback using HTTP Live Streaming or HLS, and an update that enables adaptive streaming and dynamic video ad insertion. Users can now switch between watching a video podcast or listening to it like an audio version, and download it offline. A new widget called Ambient Music has been added to the app, showing the current ambient music playlist and various options for relaxation. The new multitasking system may allow users to hide windows more.
