This renders Tab Groups practically useless unless you become very disciplined with the way you use them. So, if you carefully craft a set of tabs for a specific task to which you return regularly but happen to open a new tab – or close one – during that session, that’s how the tab group will look the next time you revisit it. But there’s one significant downside: Tab Groups always remember their last state. This is, essentially, a way of creating multiple sets of open tabs, which you can name and recall at any time. In principle, this is pretty cool. Safari now also features something called ‘Tab Groups’. It provides a little more screen real estate when you have multiple tabs open and I like the way it changes the colour of the entire interface based on the website you’re viewing. Personally, I like the ‘compact tab bar’. But you can still return to the ‘classic’ tab view if the new one isn’t for you. Thankfully, Apple appears to have rounded on a final design that mixes convenience with pleasing aesthetics. Most of the user complaints and backtracking on Apple’s behalf was centred on the new tab bar – a feature that clearly hadn’t been thought through enough by the user interface team. At least, that’s what we were told during WWDC.Īpple’s web browser suffered from a painful development process during the beta period.

SharePlay allows Apple Music and Apple TV content to be shared during FaceTime calls. However, it’s worth pointing out that one of the most interesting new features is MIA.
I probably won’t, either, unless I stumble into them by accident during a call with my parents. I suspect for a great many people, it’s a similar story.Īs a result, I haven’t tested the new FaceTime features. FaceTime is therefore usually reserved for quick family catch-ups. I spend far more time in Teams and Zoom, simply because my work demands that I do so. There’s just one issue: I barely use FaceTime. We’re living in a world where digital communication has transitioned from useful to vital, and Apple had little choice but to bring FaceTime up to speed with the competition. Certainly, seeing the ’Create Link’ button upon opening the new version of FaceTime is very satisfying (this allows you to share the call with anyone, regardless of the device they’re using). The headline feature: FaceTime updatesĪpple spent more time on Monterey’s updates to FaceTime than anything else during WWDC, and that’s entirely understandable. Let’s jump into the key features of macOS Monterey. Sure, we never get quite the depth of wallpaper options I’d like, but there’s something about Apple’s new minimalist, pastel vibe that I very much dig. In fact, the only noticeable design tweak I’ve spotted so far is the slightly more rounded notifications.Ī quick shout-out to the new wallpaper, too.

This isn’t a Big Sur upgrade Monterey looks pretty much identical to the previous version.

Your mileage may vary.Īfter upgrading to Monterey, you’d be forgiven for double-checking that the update actually took place (I did). Thus far, I’ve undertaken it on both my M1 MacBook Air and 24’ iMac without trouble. Of course that does not sync across devices and has limited storage so I can see myself using this handy addition more and more.The update itself was, as always, a cinch. In the past I used Notes occasionally to copy text and websites but more often I utilised Copy Clip the clipboard extension. This window stays in front of the active app window and allows easy copy and paste options or a link to the web site so that the note appears when you open that site. On further investigation and a much closer look I discovered that a tiny black square does appear (hard to see in Dark Mode on a small screen) when I placed the cursor in that corner so I clicked it and low and behold a Quick Note window appeared. I checked my Desktop and Screen Saver preferences and sure enough there it was but placing my cursor in that corner didn't seem to do anything.
I guess I forgot about it but some time after Upgrading my MBP I read in the Rocket Yard article above that QN is allocated to a Hot Corner on macOS, by default it's the bottom right corner. I noted that it synced across to my iPhone after the iOS 15 public release but as I had not yet upgraded my MBP I didn't get that much use out of it.
I know this post dates back a little ways but as I have only just recently upgraded my 13" 2015 MBP to Monterey I thought I would mention Quick Note (QN) as I find it on an Intel Mac.įirstly ,I had already played around with QN on my iPad in the beta version of iOS 15 as well as the new Tag feature.
