macOS Ventura has been officially released
macOS Ventura: A Game-Changing Update for Mac Users
Apple has just released macOS Ventura, a significant update for Macs with Apple silicon and Intel-based processors. This update brings a host of new features, enhancements, and improvements to the Mac experience.
One of the standout additions is Continuity Camera. This innovative feature allows users to leverage their iPhone cameras as webcams on their Mac, complete with features like Desk View, Center Stage, Portrait mode, and Studio Light.
In terms of productivity, Mail has been updated to allow users to schedule messages, cancel delivery, and add rich links for better content previews. Users can also take actions directly from Spotlight, such as starting a timer or creating a new document.
Security is a top priority in macOS Ventura, and Apple has introduced new tools like Rapid Security Response to make security updates more efficient. This means your Mac will be better protected against potential threats.
The update also brings Shared Tab Groups to Safari, enabling collaboration on the web with live updates of what others are looking at. Users can also join SharePlay sessions from their Mac right in Messages.
Visual Look Up has been expanded to recognise more subjects, including animals, birds, insects, statues, and landmarks. Users can now lift text from paused video frames, as well as Japanese and Korean text, and drop it into another app like Messages.
iCloud Shared Photo Library is another new feature, allowing up to six family members to create and share a separate photo library. Passkeys are also introduced, offering a more secure and easy-to-use sign-in method. They are stored only on the device and synced with end-to-end encryption using iCloud Keychain.
System Preferences has been rebranded as System Settings, featuring a new design optimised for efficient navigation on Mac. Stage Manager is another productivity tool, automatically organising apps and windows for improved productivity.
In the realm of accessibility, macOS Ventura introduces Live Captions for all audio content, Type to Speak on calls, and Text Checker to support proofreading for VoiceOver users.
The update also brings Safari's passkeys, a new sign-in method designed to replace passwords. The Weather and Clock apps are now available on Mac, with features similar to their iPhone counterparts.
New AAA game titles are coming to Mac later this year, including Capcom's Resident Evil Village. The power of Apple silicon enables every new Mac to run these games with ease.
Lastly, the Undo Send function in the Messages app allows users to undo the sending of a message within 2 minutes after sending it. Mail can also detect missing attachments or cc'd recipients and remind the sender. Users can search for photos by location, people, scenes, or objects using Spotlight.
macOS Ventura is available today as a free software update. Experience the future of Mac computing with these exciting new features.
