Overview
- Perplexity’s redesigned iPad app is now live on the Apple App Store with a true iPadOS interface that mirrors its desktop layout.
- The update adds Split View and Slide Over so users can keep Perplexity beside notes or docs, with a persistent sidebar for desktop-style navigation.
- Research features now highlight citations more clearly and surface a personalized discovery feed to help verify sources and dig into related topics.
- Perplexity is pitching the upgrade to students and professionals to nudge heavy users toward its Pro plan that unlocks GPT-5.2, Claude Sonnet 4.5 and Gemini 3 Pro.
- The rollout lands as Perplexity expands its product line with the Comet browser and a Shopping Hub, and after the CEO warned users about fake Comet builds for iOS.
