Apple recently announced macOS Ventura to all supported devices after having the new software for Macs, MacBooks and iMacs in beta testing for months. The new macOS Ventura update also brings new features like camera continuity and stage manager, a popular stage manager.
Here’s all you need to know about the new macOS update, including new features, eligible devices and how to update.
macOS Ventura: What’s new?
macOS 13 comes with more seamless connectivity between macOS and iPhones, including allowing your iPhone to now be used as a webcam. This is useful for those who need better picture quality during their video calls, but don’t want to invest in a new webcam, as the iPhone camera is one of the best portable cameras to carry around already.
Users can now also transfer a FaceTime call from iPhone to Mac or the other way around. iMessage users can now also finally send and unsend messages on macOS, just like on iOS. The same also goes for Mail, which now gets updated with options to unsend mails.
Safari browser now also supports passkeys, which can be used as a new, more secure alternative to passwords for authenticating apps, websites and more.
Other features include Desk View, a redesigned Game Center dashboard, a weather app and new gaming APIs.
