Apple introduced the successor to macOS Big Sur during its annual WWDC keynote. Now macOS 12 Monterey has been officially released to all users worldwide.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Mac operating system contains some cool new features. However, some of them are only available on Mac devices with Apple Silicon Chip. Here is an overview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortcuts for Mac<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The new macOS Monterey brings shortcuts from iOS to the Mac. The automation tool is a simpler system than the well-known Automator or AppleScript, both of which are still supported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year we're bringing Shortcuts to Mac. After all, the Mac is where we turn to for much of our creative work. And now you can automate the everyday things to achieve peak productivity. With the Shortcuts Editor, users can easily chain together a series of actions to design shortcuts for their specific workflows. We're integrating Shortcuts throughout macOS so users can perform them regardless of the app they have open.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Safari<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Safari on macOS Monterey includes privacy and performance features, most notably in its new system for displaying and using tabs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We designed Safari from the start to provide the best browsing experience on the Mac and it continues to blow the competition out of the water. Our users are doing more in the browser than ever before. Work, school, shopping, entertainment and that often leaves them with a ton of tabs, windows and other distractions. We think using the browser should feel natural and uncluttered, so we redesigned the browsing experience and stripped the toolbar down to its essential elements. Tabs are more compact, modern, lighter and there's a whole new way to use tabs, with tab groups that allow users to easily save and manage their tabs without cluttering their tab bar.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

data protection and iOS compatibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The other major updates also focus on adding new features to iMessage as well as improving support for Apple Silicon Macs. It also brings the Mac up to date with features important to the new iOS 15. With the ability to share this information with those users want to collaborate with, Apple has also enhanced macOS's existing privacy protections. Just like iOS 15 and iPadOS 15, Apple Mail will block the ability for email providers to detect when users read their emails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

macOS Monterey: Focus<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Also taken from the new iOS 15 is the Focus function. A user can set a Focus mode on all of their devices that filters out unrelated notifications - and can automatically respond to other users. By default, Apple includes several specific Focus modes, such as Work. But users can add and customize their own. Users who currently pay for iCloud services will automatically be upgraded to iCloud+, which offers new privacy features for the Mac, including a VPN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These features are available exclusively for Macs with M-series chips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

However, there are also a few features that are only available on Apple Silicon devices. This includes, for example, portrait mode in FaceTime. Only M1 Macs running macOS Monterey will be able to blur the background of a video call with FaceTime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
