As more and more users become familiar with and use applications such as "personal assistant", The big players on this market make efforts to bring support for these applications on as many devices as possible. Even if some devices already have a "personal assistant" application installed natively on the operating system.

This is the case of iPad devices, which, although they natively use Siri, the personal assistant created and developed by Apple for all the company's devices, recently received a dedicated version of Microsoft Cortana.

First introduced on Windows 10, the personal assistant Cortana started to gain more and more popularity, both among Windows 10 users and for those who use Android or iOS smartphones.
About a year later, after Microsoft released the first version of Cortana for the iPhone, another one is coming dedicated version for iPad devices. In spite of the fact that Apple has greatly expanded the capabilities of Siri, which it also integrated in the latest device produced by the company, the HomePod smart speaker.

Cortana for iPad it has an interface adapted to resolutions and large screens, so the user has more space for information. News, weather data, football matches, tennis, handball, etc. data that are requested by the user and which Cortana is able to offer.

In addition, Microsoft representatives stated that the application launches 20% faster on the latest version of iOS.

After Crab, the native assistant application of iOS, Cortana is the first application of its kind optimized for iPad. Google Assistant it can be installed on the iPad via the App Store, only if we choose to search in the "iPhone Only" applications, and the resolution is not optimized for large screens. Furthermore, Google Assistant can be used on iPad only in "portrait" mode.

Returning to Cortana, the application can be used to its maximum capacity on the iPad, but it has a very big handicap in front of Siri. So that you can request voice information from the Cortana application. The iPad must be unlocked and the application open. The limitations imposed by Apple on iOS do not allow the active running of an application in the background. with the exception of own applications. So, when the device is locked, the only option will remain "Hey Siri".
