Pages, Keynote, Numbers get iOS 26 updates, here’s everything new

Pages, Keynote, and Numbers have just been updated for iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe. The updates adopt a Liquid Glass design and add new features, including many that are exclusive to Apple Creator Studio.

What’s new in Pages, Keynote, and Numbers

Today alongside the launch of Apple Creator Studio, Apple has released version 15.1 updates for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote apps.

Many of the new features and changes are exclusive to Apple Creator Studio subscribers. However, there are three updates highlighted in the release notes for all users:

1. Liquid Glass design
2. New editable shapes
3. Menu bar support in iPadOS 26

On iOS and iPadOS, the new iWork apps arrive as updates to the existing apps.

However, on the Mac the updates are entirely separate app downloads for Apple Creator Studio. So you can keep the non-Creator Studio versions installed if you’d like.

Outside of the new Liquid Glass design, the majority of new features for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are exclusive to Apple Creator Studio.
