While it’s tempting to jump on the Monterey wave as soon as it comes, there’s really no rush. For more information on how to use the new features, check out our macOS Monterey Superguide. The highly anticipated Universal Control feature, which lets you use a single mouse to control two Macs or a Mac and an iPad, was delayed until spring 2022.īesides the new features, Monterey brings a lot of under-the-hood improvements and optimizations, including security updates and optimizations to make the operating system run more efficiently.

Version 12.1 also includes the new Apple Music Voice Plan, a revamped Memories section in the Photos app, child safety features in Messages, and the new Digital Legacy feature for Apple ID. For example, a FaceTime group call can watch an Apple TV show or listen to Apple Music together. SharePlay is finally here-this FaceTime feature that allows users to share media. The 12.1 update that Apple released in December adds even more features. Shortcuts made its debut on iOS and was an instant hit.
