    Websites saved to the Home screen get a huge upgrade in iPadOS 13, finally behaving like true apps. 🎉 They open as stand-alone apps, not Safari tabs, and display as such in the app switcher. They also hide Safari's toolbar. Works beautifully with Instagram.com.

    Sad news: today’s my last day at @macstoriesnet. I’m really going to miss it. Working with @viticci, @johnvoorhees, and @the_axx has been an honor and pleasure. They’re the best. 🧡 Life’s leading me down a new path, but I’ll always treasure these past 4 years. Love you all. ✌️

    I’ve never before thought that widgets belonged on an iOS Home screen. But now I’m thinking that’s exactly where they belong.
