While Apple has launched Sonoma as their latest update to macOS, we recommend that users wait until the next update before upgrading University-owned computers. We know you may be chomping on the bit to click install, but we are currently reviewing any potential conflicts with other University applications or fixes that might be needed.
While you wait, here are a few features that our Mac users can expect in the upcoming weeks.
Widgets on Desktop: Place widgets on your desktop from the new widget gallery. And you can now play a podcast, turn off the lights, and more — right from a widget.
New Screen Sharing picker: Easily share an app or even multiple apps when on a video call, right from the window you’re in.
Safari – You can now separate browsing history, extensions, cookies, saved passwords, and more using separate profiles for personal, work, etc. This includes the ability to switch profiles on-the-fly! Search is also improved in Safari.
If you’re interested in these features, sit tight! We will do our testing and update you soon. Remember, if you use applications that you downloaded on your own, it is your responsibility to ensure they are compatible with the new OS before you upgrade. We recommend visiting the application’s website or reaching out to their customer support team to check before upgrading.
