Mail App Toolbar



The tool bar contains four Delete, Pass, Respond and Write buttons. 
This layout removes unnecessary steps and reduces the risk that the Delete and Respond buttons mixed in the process.


iCloud Drive Folder Sharing


 as its name indicates, allows users to share entire iCloud Drive Folders similarly to how DropBox users can share DropBox folders. You could previously share an individual file via iCloud Drive by selecting the Add Person option in the share menu, but now you can do the same thing for entire folders.

Full Keyboard Access


iPadOS 13.4 introduces for the first time the ability to fully control your iPad with just your keyboard. Full Keyboard Access, an Accessibility setting, features over 50 customizable keyboard shortcuts for fully controlling an iPad with a hardware keyboard.

Users will find basic commands, like moving forward, moving backward, activating a selection, and going back to the Home screen. All of these operations can be customized via a keyboard shortcut. There are even more advanced functions, like invoking Control Center or Notification Center, restarting your iPad, invoking Siri from the keyboard, and rotating the device.
Nine new Memoji stickers




Overall, It'll get even better next month, when Apple releases the latest Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro. But the truly great thing about iPadOS 13.4 is that it doesn’t just apply to the iPad Pro. Even entry-level devices, like iPad 7th Generation also stand to benefit immensely from mouse and trackpad support.
