Apple says macOS Monterey will be available on Monday, Oct. 25. Probably the biggest features to be coming to Macs with Monterey are:
- A redesigned Safari browser with Tab Groups
- Shortcuts on the Mac, replacing (eventually) Automator
- QuickNotes
- Focus
- FaceTime with Spatial Audio, Voice Isolation, Wide Spectrum, and Portrait Mode
- SharePlay to share experiences during FaceTime calls (though it won’t be available in the first non-beta version of Monterey)
- Shared With You to highlight items others share with you
- Universal Control, allowing a Mac keyboard and mouse/trackpad to control an iPad (though it won’t be available in the first non-beta version of Monterey)
- AirPlay to Mac (“Sherlocking” a number of third-party apps)
