New Features of Monterey

FaceTime

Introducing SharePlay

Keep FaceTime conversations going as you watch TV shows and movies, listen to music or share your screen with SharePlay. It’s an entirely new way to have experiences with family and friends no matter the distance.

Share your screen

Keep your FaceTime calls going while simultaneously sharing your whole screen or just a specific app. Collaborate with co-workers, have a game night with friends or plan your next vacation as a group.

Mic modes

Voice Isolation minimises background noise and puts your voice front and centre. When the music or sounds around you are as important as what you have to say, Wide Spectrum leaves the ambient sound unfiltered.chirp rat-a-tat jingle snap chatter hum giggle tick tock ding ding woof

Grid view

Grid view shows people on your FaceTime call in the same‑size tiles, so you can have better conversations with a large group. The speaker is automatically highlighted so you always know who’s talking.

Messages

Shared with You

Now the links, images and other content shared with you in Messages are featured in a new Shared with You section in the corresponding app. In Photos, Safari, Apple Podcasts and the Apple TV app, you can easily find shared content, see who recommended it and reply right from the app you’re enjoying it in — without going back to Messages.

Photo collections

Multiple photos in Messages now appear as a collage or an elegant stack of images that you can flip through. Easily view them all as a grid, reply with a quick Tapback or save them to your library.

Safari

Compact tab bar

The compact tab bar option takes up less space on the page and takes on the colour of the site you’re on, extending the web page to the edge of the window. Tabs have been combined with the Smart Search field, giving you access to powerful Safari features with the click of a tab.

Tab Groups

Save and organise your tabs in the way that works best for you. Name your Tab Groups, edit them and switch between them as you go from one interest to the next. You can even drag your groups into an email and the links effortlessly appear as an easy‑to‑share list.

Focus

Choose a Focus

Focus helps you stay in the moment when you need to concentrate or step away. Choose a Focus that only allows the notifications you want — you can get work done while you’re in the zone, or enjoy a distraction-free dinner. Pick from a list of suggested Focus options or create your own.

Quick Note and Notes

Introducing Quick Note

Notes is your go‑to app to capture any thought — and with the new Quick Note feature, you can jot down ideas no matter where you are or what you’re doing on your Mac. It’s like writing a note directly on whatever app you’re working in.

Put anything in a Quick Note

Add links, Safari highlights, tags and mentions to a Quick Note, so you can get to important names, numbers and ideas easily.

Finding your Quick Note is easy

In supported apps, you can add links to a Quick Note and a thumbnail of your note will always show up there when you go back. Quick Notes also appear together in the Notes app — whether you’re on your Mac, iPad or iPhone.

Activity view and mentions

An all-new Activity view lets you see what others have added to your shared note. And you can notify members in shared notes with mentions. Just type someone’s name in a note to send them a notification.

Organise with tags

Tag a note using the # symbol and a keyword you can search, then find it later in the Tag Browser. for more details contact XpertLab
