Have you ever felt overwhelmed by frequently switching back and forth between multiple application windows? Mac users have recently received a series of system updates, and these changes are trying to make multitasking and collaboration across devices easier and smoother than ever before.
Front-end scheduling improves multi-tasking efficiency
In this update, there is a core function, which is front-stage scheduling. It can automatically organize all open applications and windows on the desktop for you. You will no longer be overwhelmed by a bunch of cluttered windows, and what you need for your current work will be clearly presented in front of you.
When you need to perform tasks related to different software, you can group related windows for management. For example, when writing a report, grouping document software, web page software, and note-taking software into the same group will be particularly efficient when switching. And this function can also cooperate with other Mac tools such as the dispatch center, and you can return to a tidy desktop with just one click.
Call relay enables cross-device flow
In terms of call experience, it has also received crucial upgrades. Now, on your iPhone or iPad, you can start a phone call or FaceTime call, and then with just one click, you can seamlessly transfer it to your Mac to continue the conversation. The reverse operation is also convenient.
This relay function is suitable for the in-system call app. If there is an incoming call while working in front of the Mac, it can be easily transferred to the iPhone in the pocket after answering. The call will not be interrupted when you stand up and leave, solving the sense of fragmentation when answering calls between different devices.
Comprehensive enhancements to email and search functions
In recent years, the mail application has received the most significant search function update. The new search technology can provide more relevant results, more accurate results, and more comprehensive results, thereby helping you quickly locate the required information from massive amounts of mail.
On a specific date and time, you can set reminders for important emails to pop up again to avoid forgetting them. For those emails that have not yet received a reply, the system will even make intelligent suggestions for you to follow up, ensuring that important matters are not missed.
Focus on search and become an efficiency center
It has been redesigned specifically for the focused search function, and its navigation has become more intuitive. It can now provide a coherent experience across Apple devices, and supports quick preview of files, so that you can view the contents without fully opening the file.
The search capabilities it has have also been greatly expanded, and it can search for photos based on locations, people, and even text in pictures. What's more practical is that you can now perform operations directly in the focused search box, such as creating documents, starting timers, or running shortcuts.
Share gallery to easily share family memories
With the new shared gallery function, up to 6 members of a family can share an independent photo gallery. Every family member can enjoy all family photos and wonderful moments at any time.
From your personal gallery, you can choose to share all photos, just those from a specific date, or just photos covering certain family members. The system will use intelligence to remind you to share new photos containing family members, thus keeping the shared gallery updated.
Security and gaming experience are upgraded simultaneously
In the field of security, passkeys provide a simpler login method, which uses Touch ID or Face ID to implement biometric authentication, and adopts end-to-end encryption through iCloud Keychain for secure synchronization between iPhone, iPad and Mac.
This update brings the Mac gaming experience to a new level. The new system can better utilize the full potential of Apple’s self-developed chips, laying a solid foundation for gaming performance in the coming years.
