The latest iPadOS 26 brings a new default wallpaper in an abstract design that looks minimal and seamlessly blends with the gorgeous Liquid Glass aesthetics across the UI. These backgrounds bring a fresh look to your iPads, as you would expect from a major OS update.
Just like iOS 26, the iPadOS 26 wallpapers also come in four variants: a Light and Dark version of the Home Screen, and a slightly different Light and Dark version for the Lock Screen.
