Journal and iPad are a winning combo
iPadOS 26 brings the Journal app to iPad
Journal, previously an iPhone exclusive, offers users a dedicated place for memories and notes
The iPad version adds Apple Pencil support, as well as a map for adding places to entries
Apple is bringing the Journal app to iPad with iPadOS 26 after two years of iPhone exclusivity.
The Journal app, which already comes preinstalled on all of the best iPhones, will become one of the iPad’s default apps with the upcoming release of iPadOS 26.
Journal for iPad follows much the same format as its iPhone counterpart – it’s a place to store memories, jot down notes, add photos, and, on iPad specifically, write and sketch with Apple Pencil.
Apple’s official press release outlining the new features in iPadOS 26 notes that the app allows users to create multiple journals “for different aspects of life.
