Apple’s latest macOS update, aka macOS Monterey will release later today. macOS Monterey or macOS 12 has been available as a beta update for users so far but starting today, that is 25th October 2021, it will be available for public which is to say all Mac users (eligible for the free update) will be able to download and install it.
macOS Monterey was first unveiled at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in early June. New features in the Operating System include Airplay, Universal Control, and a bunch of updates coming to FaceTime and Safari.
Unlike the interface-level upgrades of the macOS Big Sur, macOS Monterey will enhance user experience with behind-the-scenes changes. The Universal Control will allow users multitask between an iPad and a Mac using a single keyboard and mouse.
Unlike Windows 11, MacOS 12 has a straightforward list of compatible devices.
