One of the highlights of macOS Monterey is Universal Control. This feature allows the user control up to three Apple devices (desktop, laptop, and tablet) at once using a single trackpad or mouse. All this is required is place these devices beside one another, no extra setup required. For example, if you place an iPad next to a Mac, you can move a single cursor from one device to the other.

- With AirPlay to Mac, users will be able to cast content from their iPhone and iPad to the Mac.
- Safari browser will inherit a new tab and Group tab design.
- Spatial Audio support on M1-powered Macs courtesy of AirPods Pro and AirPods Max.
As expected some of the new features in iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 made its way to the next Mac update including the new SharePlay feature to share different experience during FaceTime including the screen, Shared With You via Messages, Live Text, New notes app features, and Focus which allows users avoid unnecessary distraction-free profiles.
