Following Apples recent WWDC event, its safe to say that were in for a wave
of new and exciting features coming to iOS 26 this September, and, as well as new additions like Apple Musics AutoMix , Apple Journal is another app thats getting several big upgrades.

After two years of absence, Apple is finally bringing the Journal app to iPad and Mac, which will be available when the new iPadOS 26 and macOS Tahoe updates are rolled out which were expecting at the same time as iOS 26.

Apple Journal was introduced in 2023 as part of the iOS 17.2 software update, appearing as a pre-installed app native to iPhone. But the launch of iPadOS
26 and macOS Tahoe will mark the first time that Journal migrates to other Apple products. (Image credit: Apple)

When it comes to Apples native apps Ive never really felt the urge to experiment, particularly with Apple Journal as Ive been more than satisfied using the Notes app for things like keeping track of my workout routine, or creating a shopping list. However, with the announcement of Journals six new features, Apple is encouraging me to get a little more creative with the way
I use its native apps to get me through my daily life. Apple Journal receives much-need TLC

The six new additions coming to Apple Journal cover both creative and practical functions, so its not just about amping your journals visual
element but optimizing formatting and organization features within the app itself.

The first feature is the option to create multiple journals, so that you can document different types of entries and better organize them. This also
allows you to have a clear view of your different journals, and with the help of the handy new map view interface, you can view your entries based on the locations you created them in.

Third, youll soon have more control over what entries you want to keep, discard, and revisit. Have you ever deleted an entry and immediately
regretted it? Apple is taking that dreaded feeling away by introducing a function that allows you to restore recently deleted journal entries -
similar to Photos Recently deleted folder. Apple is encouraging you to get more creative with Journal, allowing you to add custom drawings and hand-written text to entries. (Image credit: Apple)

Finally, in addition to its new and improved search function, Apple Journal
is introducing new creative features to give you the freedom to create
journal entries that scream you starting with inline images.

Instead of being restricted to the designated media section in an entry,
youll be able to add images to appear inline with bodies of text, adopting
the appearance of a physical journal or scrapbook.

Speaking of physical journals, one of the best parts is being able to hand-write your notes, an element that Apple is bringing to Journal. With the rollout of iOS 26, youll have the freedom to create your own drawings and hand-written text, which you can add to entries. It even comes with Apple Pencil support.
