Create Your Own Workout Plans: Remarkable Advancements in the iPhone Fitness App 💪
One of the most notable changes in iOS 26.1 Beta 2 is the enhancement of the iPhone's Fitness app. Beyond simply following predefined exercises, users can now set their own workout goals and create personalized routines.
You can meticulously configure various aspects such as the type of workout, activity calories, effort, duration, and start time. It's like having a personal trainer crafting your exercise plan right beside you, isn't it? 🏋️♀️

iPad Multitasking: The Return of 'Slide Over' and a New Window Model 💡
This is truly welcome news for iPad users. The 'Slide Over' feature, which was removed in iPadOS 26, has returned in iPadOS 26.1 Beta 2!
This time, 'Slide Over' is provided with a new window model, allowing you to keep multiple app windows open simultaneously while still being able to quickly access them like a 'Slide Over' panel with a swipe within a single app. It operates as a panel that displays one app at a time, and it's expected to offer a more efficient multitasking environment. It will be incredibly useful when you need to switch between multiple apps for work, won't it?
For those who have been looking to boost their productivity on the iPad, this update will be a great gift. 😊
