Apple has updated Pages across iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe. The update brings a fresh Liquid Glass design and a clear split between free features and premium tools tied to Apple Creator Studio. The goal stays the same: make document writing feel lighter, faster, and more visual.
Apple announced the changes alongside the launch of Apple Creator Studio, which unlocks advanced features inside iWork apps for subscribers.

It’s dreadful. Filing is completely mysterious, files cannot be found. Each file now has three to eight copies and I can’t delete them, causing storage problems. Absolute nightmare. Editors do not want fancy fonts or ‘interesting’ layouts. if I can work out how to convert files back to previous version I will do so. Otherwise will have to consider abandoning Apple and going back to microsoft and non-Apple computer.
