Monterey: Continuous Work Between Devices"},"content":{"rendered":"<p data-hc-id=\"b4882e26ea8a780a424e36f6d3a8\">Perhaps the biggest announcement of WWDC 2021 was macOS Monterey.\u00a0And despite the fact that visually again we saw nothing visually new.\u00a0That being said, we have a big cosmetic update.\u00a0Basically, the new macOS will improve interaction within the ecosystem as it should be completely seamless.\u00a0Also macOS devices Monterey gets SharePlay and an updated FaceTime, a new version of Safari, and so on.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-153442\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/apple_macos-monterey_connectivity_06072021.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-hc-id=\"b7928b8820fe7b89e94b6ffda338\">From interesting and important, now in Safari it will be possible to combine tabs into groups and, for example, when going on a trip, you can simultaneously open a city map, sites for attractions, local cafes and restaurants, hotel aggregators and airline pages &#8211; prepare one large group of sites &#8230;\u00a0At the same time, it will be possible to name it!\u00a0Tab groups sync across Mac, iPhone, and iPad, allowing you to continue working on your project on any device and easily share those tabs.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-153444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/apple_macos-monterey_safari-tab-group_06072021.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-hc-id=\"855acb272ac97e89775476d56f38\">There will also be shortcuts on Mac to help users automate everyday tasks and get the most out of their iPhone and iPad.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-153443\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/apple_macos-monterey_facetime_06072021.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-hc-id=\"b71251a12abf72554f8e9daf5638\">The most interesting innovation seems to be Universal Control.\u00a0At one time, we saw SideCar &#8211; a feature that allowed the iPad to be used as an external wireless display for the MacBook.\u00a0The new feature is called Continuity and will allow you to freely navigate between your Mac and iPad using your mouse and keyboard without any prior setup.\u00a0You can even drag and drop content from one device to another \u2014 for example, draw something with Apple Pencil on iPad and add the drawing to a Keynote presentation on Mac.\u00a0But most importantly, all this happens absolutely seamlessly and wirelessly.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-153445\"

available to Apple Developer Program members today at developer.apple.com.\u00a0A public beta for all Mac users will be available next month at beta.apple.com.\u00a0MacOS Monterey will be available this fall as a free update.\u00a0Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/macos\/monterey-preview\/\" rel=\"noopener\">apple.com\/us\/macos\/monterey-preview<\/a> for details, including supported Mac models.\u00a0Features are subject to change.\u00a0Some features may not be available in all regions and languages.<\/p>\n<p data-hc-id=\"77bf8386229b56ce61fa77efc718\"><!-- FeedbackWP Plugin --><div
