iPadOS 15 Coming Soon

About one month ago, Apple released iPadOS 15, the most recent version of the iPad operating system. In Barrington 220, this iPadOS is not yet available for download to our student and teacher iPad devices. 

As is typical for a new operating system, our tech team tests various beta versions of the iPadOS before its general release—and we usually wait a week or so to conduct testing of the final release to make sure all new features and settings work well on our network and with all our primary apps and systems.

At this time, we have identified one new feature of iPadOS that allows some users to bypass our district’s web filter. Therefore, we are delaying our iPadOS update until our testing indicates that the issue is fully resolved.

Other than this one issue, our tests indicate that iPadOS 15 is ready to release. At this time, we are not experiencing any negative effects from not upgrading, but many new features will be available when we do release the upgrade!

If you wish to preview some of the features in iPadOS 15 before it arrives on your iPad, please take a look here.
