Apple’s latest macOS is packed with all kinds of features great and small, but many of them aren’t documented, are hard to remember, or are so new you might not have come across them just yet. From things that save you time, effort, and maybe even money, to those that cause you to smile and let out a ‘Eureka!’ shriek when you discover them, these are the secrets of Sonoma.
Did you know, when you place widgets on your macOS 14 desktop, you can have them sit there in full colour instead of reverting to monochrome when they’re not in use? Or that you can bring exciting effects to a video chat using hand gestures? Or that also in video chat, you can decide where to appear when using Centre Stage; it no longer has to be the middle of the screen? Or that when writing a note in the Notes app, you can switch it to the Pages app and carry on. Or that you can use your Sonoma-based Mac with devices for the hard of hearing that are made for the iPhone? It’s all in macOS Sonoma.
Over the next few pages, we take a look at the secrets of Sonoma. Features and facets of the new Apple Mac operating system of which you might not be aware, but are sitting there, just waiting to be discovered. So what are you waiting for? Let’s delve into Sonoma’s darkest corners, and get even more from our Mac’s latest operating system.
