iPhone Mirroring

iPhone Mirroring is the new Continuity feature available with macOS Sequoia. It lets you mirror your iPhone display on the Mac display and offers complete control over the phone. The interaction with the iPhone happens wirelessly through the Mac keyboard, trackpad, and mouse. The best part is that your iPhone stays locked so no one else can check what you are up to.

Manage Passwords

Apple has introduced a native password manager app called Passwords. It can store all your passwords, passkeys, WiFi passwords, and other sensitive credentials. The app seamlessly syncs between all your Apple devices and Windows via the iCloud for Windows app. No more relying on third-party password managers to store your password securely.

Safari Highlights and Reader

Highlights is a new Safari feature aimed at enhancing your web surfing experience. It can pull relevant information from the website like directions to a location, article summaries, and quick links to know more about people, places, movies, and TV shows. Reader has been redesigned to offer a more streamlined view of the article you are reading. It now shows a quick summary and table of contents.

Safari Video Viewer

Safari now has a stand-alone Video Viewer that works with any video playing in the browser. The video player can be moved around and supports the complete set of system media playback controls.

Window Tiling

Apple has finally introduced easier window tiling for better productivity and multitasking. Users can now drag a window to the edge of the screen and get tiling suggestions. It is now possible to arrange tiles side by side or place them in corners to keep more apps in view. There are new keyboard and menu shortcuts for better organization of tiles.

Video Call Presenter Preview and New Backgrounds

Apple has introduced a new presenter preview functionality for video calls. It will let users preview what they are about to share with others before sharing. There are new built-in backgrounds for video calls including color gradients and scenery shots of places in and around different known locations.

Schedule Messages

If you use the Messages app on your Mac to send text messages, it is now possible to schedule messages. You can easily choose the preferred time and date after typing the message you want to send. The Messages app has also received unique text effects and emojis.

Improved Notes App

The native Notes app in macOS has been improved. Users can now record audio and receive live transcriptions. Once Apple Intelligence becomes available, they will be able to get instant summaries. The app also has support for Math Notes for solving mathematical problems quickly.
