       macOS Monterey: What’s new

       From new features in FaceTime to Notes and Safari browser, the macOS Monterey brings new experiences for ease of use. Starting with FaceTime, macOS Monterey brings a new SharePlay feature to Apple's video calling service. The SharePlay lets users share screens, watch videos, and listen to music together. Besides, FaceTime gets support for portrait mode, spatial audio, and join on the web through link. Coming on to the Notes, the macOS Monterey introduces tags and mentions. While the tags make it easy to categorise and organise the notes, the mentions make collaboration in shared notes or folders more social, direct and contextual. For instant notes, the macOS Monterey introduces Quick Note feature.

       Safari browser also gets a makeover in the macOS Monterey. Design changes include compact tab bar and redesigned sidebar. New features include tab groups, auto HTTPS and intelligent tracking prevention. Among other new features is the new Universal Control feature, which allows users to use a single keyboard, mouse or trackpad to work between three supported devices, and AirPlay to Mac feature, which allows users to use AirPlay to send content to Mac from an iPhone, iPad, and another Mac.
