`Apple Releases macOS Monterey With AirPlay to Mac, Live Text, Safari Updates, Shortcuts App and More
`
`Monday October 25, 2021 10:04 am PDT by Juli Clover
`
`Apple today released macOS 12 Monterey, the newest version of the operating system designed to run on the Mac. macOS Monterey
`comes after months of beta testing and feature refinements.
`
`The new macOS Monterey update can be downloaded on all eligible Macs using the Software Update section of System Preferences,
`and it can also be found in the Mac App Store. Like all Mac updates, macOS Monterey is a free download. For those who don't want to
`upgrade to macOS Monterey , there's also a macOS Big Sur 11.6.1 update available, which Apple says includes security fixes.
`
` macOS Monterey adds quite a few features that have already been introduced on iOS devices with iOS 15 and iPadOS 15. FaceTime
`has gained spatial audio support and voice isolation to cut down on background noise, and in the future, it will work with the
`SharePlay feature for screen sharing and watching tv and movies with friends and family over FaceTime .
`
`Messages supports Shared With You, and Tab Groups in Safari allow tabs to be organized together and accessed across devices.
`There were Safari design changes to the tab interface, but right before Monterey was released, Apple reversed the changes. The
`"Compact" Monterey look can be enabled for those who prefer it.
`
`There's a new AirPlay to Mac option and a feature for using the Mac as a speaker for multi-room audio, and Focus mode helps you
`keep on task by cutting down on distractions. The Shortcuts app that's available on iOS devices has expanded to the Mac, and Apple
`added new features to Notes, including a Quick Note option that activates a note when you mouse over a section of the screen.
`
`With Live Text, Macs can detect text in any image and it becomes interactive, so you can copy, paste, and translate text from photos.
`Visual Lookup in the Photos app uses machine learning to provide details on animals, art, landmarks, plants, and more that you've
`photographed.
