Pages, Keynote, and Numbers have all received updates.
Apple has updated its iWork suite of Pages, Numbers, and Keynote to version 14.4, bringing more Apple Intelligence and other changes and improvements to its productivity software.
On Thursday, Apple rolled out updates to Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. This time around, many of the updates are identical for each app, as Apple tries to keep its productivity suite consistent across the three products.
The most notable update is powered by Apple Intelligence. Users on Mac, iPad, and iPhone can now make text edits using Writing Tools directly in their documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.
Users can now export documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, into other formats using shortcuts. Copy and paste from Freeform has been improved, too.
To take advantage of the features mentioned above, users will need to run macOS 15.4, iPadOS 18.4, or iOS 18.4.
Apple says that when using Pages, users can also more easily add additional pages to a word-processing document. It also notes that Screen View on iPad now displays text, images, and other elements in a continuous flow optimized to fit your screen.
Numbers saw the most amount of software-specific updates. Apple points out that it has improved compatibility when importing or exporting Microsoft Excel spreadsheets.
Users can now utilize over 30 new advanced functions including LET, LAMBDA, FILTER, SORT, and UNIQUE. Results from a single formula are now visible across multiple cells using spilling arrays.
Users can update or download one or all of the iWork products by heading to the App Store on their device of choice.
It’s important to note that to use Apple Intelligence features, users will need an M1 Mac or later. When it comes to iPhone or iPad, users need an iPhone 15 Pro or newer, an iPad mini with the A17 Pro chip, or any iPad that uses an M1 chip or later.
