![]() ![]() Some of the sections are curated by Apple editors, chosen for fairness and neutrality other sections are For You, algorithmically determined based on your interests. It culls articles from hundreds of publications, online and off ( The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Esquire, NPR, HuffPost, and so on), and then presents them in gorgeous, ad-free magazine-like layout. And, maybe more important, all four sync wirelessly with your phone, so the news (or stocks, or voice recordings, or home-automation settings) are identical on all your Apple gadgets. All four take great advantage of your Mac’s large screen. But if you do, this enhancement is awesome.įour apps that have been on iOS for years are now full-blown Mac apps. Not everyone needs to capture photos and videos of the screen every day. An Options menu lets you choose whether or not the cursor should be included, whether or not you need a timer (a few seconds to get the screen set up properly), and where you want the resulting screenshot sent. It offers buttons for capturing still images of your screen (whole screen or a portion) and also for capturing videos of your screen activity (whole screen or a portion). You’re spared the whole business of finding and editing and sending the shot after creating it.Įven better: The new keystroke Shift-5 opens a master screen-capture utility panel. ![]() If you click it before it disappears, you can open it up, edit it, crop it, mark it up, delete it, or share it. You can now use AirPlay on a Mac, and use your Mac or MacBook as a speaker or video output.When you capture the screen image using the age-old keystroke Shift-3 (whole screen) or Shift-4 (portion of the screen), it now works as it does on iOS: It shrinks down into a thumbnail in the corner of the screen. More useful is the ability invite anyone to connect to a FaceTime call, even people using Windows and Android devices, and they are will still benefit from the end-to-end encryption. ![]() MacBooks and Macs using Apple's M1, M1 Pro and M1 Max chip will also be able to blur user backgrounds thanks to the Neural Engine, though this is something that has been part of other video calling applications for a while now, and doesn't require specialist hardware. There's also Wide Spectrum, which does the opposite, and means all ambient sounds (as well as voices) are boosted, which can be useful in some circumstances where you need to hear the environmental sounds where people are. There's also Voice Isolation, which uses machine learning to eliminate background noise and make voices clearer and easier to understand. This includes spatial audio support (a big theme of Apple's WWDC 2021 keynote), so depending on where the person is sitting, their audio should feel like it's coming from their position. So, it's good to see Apple bringing new features to FaceTime calling in macOS 12 Monterey. This past year has made the way we work and communicate change in drastic ways, and video calls are now more important than ever. But if you have an iOS device, you can use SharePlay now, which has returned in the release of iOS 15.1. This could prove to be one of the most useful new features in macOS 12 Monterey.Īpple has confirmed that the feature, and SharePlay will be coming in a future update to Monterey. There's no setup required, you'll be able to just put your devices next to each other, and move your cursor between them. You can also drag and drop files between iPads, MacBooks, iMacs and more. Use a trackpad on your MacBook and slide over seamlessly to your iPad. This handy feature means you can use a single mouse and keyboard and switch between Mac and iPad. ![]()
