When my windows laptop had to update I genuinely wanted to throw it out the window When my Mac has an update I literally watch every video on RUclips about it because I'm so excited about it
I don't agree, upgrades of Windows are major each time (new real features) not like Apple updates, install a 11gb new Monterey OS to get quick notes on screen corner.
You forgot to mention that what ever Mac you have it has to have the Silicon, or (M1) chip in order to use the video effect Facetime feature. So for those of you who are trying to use the feature and don't see the option in the file menu its because most likely your computer has the intel chip and not the M1 chip.
Thank you for your video. I looked it up following my recent update to know the new added benefits. However after reading comments left by other viewers I have found out that my laptop will not necessarily reflect all the benefits that you spoke about as it is not a 2020/M1 chip laptop.
Hello, Nice features. One question - Does "Universal controller" feature is specific only to M1 Mac ? OR Is this feature available for intel Macs also ? Please do let me know. Thanks
May I ask you to see if you can find me a solution. I updated to Monterey with my MacBook Pro 2018. However, my iPhone 12 Pro cannot connect it through bluetooth. It connects only for 2 seconds and then disconnects saying iPhone 12 Pro doesn't support MacBook Pro. I could connect bluetooth with MacBook Pro on Big Sur without any problem.
I just got a MacBook Air 2017 13 inch from my sister, it’s my first Mac. If macOS Monterey is the newest update why is my laptop on macOS Big Sur 11.6.1 & says it’s up to date? What does this mean? What do I do? Help!
Technical concern here...What happens when if & when I update my iMac with Mojave 10.14.6 installed...to Monterey...what happens to all my folders/files, software, ETC ETC...on my iMac I depend on for my business, software I NEED & DON'T want anything to change (Photoshop, Artrage, Sketchbook pro (old version 8.7.1 especially ) Please..?
can you mirror without it having to go into full screen mode? the mirroring is useful but it sucks that it takes up the entire screen when it just doesn't need too so I can multi task.
I updated my IMAC to Monterey but that feature of erase content etc...does not show for some reason?? Was it only on the Beta and they did not actually in rude it in the update? Thank you.
Anyone else having trouble getting your Mac set as an AirPlay 2 Speaker in HomeKit? It shows up for me, but when I try to add it, it says "Unable to Add Accessory."
So glad they added the feature(portrait mode). I have a 2020 MacBook Pro and was considering getting another pc for better camera quality and apple has meet my standards!
Thanks for the video. I have an issue with AirPlay. I can’t find my MacBook Pro to mirror on my iPhone. My iPone is on iOS 15.1 and my Mac is on 12.0.1. I have tried restarting both devices but it still doesn’t work.
I find it amusing that Apple fans get so excited for even the smallest updates, like the bokeh effect on Facetime, when apps like Zoom and Webex have it for more than a year now.
I'm not arguing whether or not these alternative apps are better or worse. I'm just saying there's absolutely no novelty in the bokeh effect to be so excited about it. This is pretty much just Apple catching up, years later. But yeah, I get it, huge round of applause even to Apple's smallest efforts, I guess...
Hey so you can just go to system preferences to security to fire vault then put your password on and turn on the fire vault...it will show your Macintosh encrypting..wait for it to get over..keep your MacBook connected to the power the whole time...after the encryption is done you can go back and Install Monterey...and if it shows storage issues then free up your storage ...it will get installed .Good luck.
@@priyayacob500 Hi, Don´t think we are talking about the same thing, I mean performance, memory, speed, how smooth the OS will run on an "older" device. I didn´t mean security/encryption issues.
@@ThatJewishKid11 same, I get DocuSign documents that are locked that I have to forward on for signatures and the only way to do it is to unlock them… you can’t do that if you upgrade
@@eyefocus2 No, I am looking at the menu under "System Preferences". I see option About System Preferences and the next option is Services and the others, hmm weird. I just downloaded this new OS, version is 12.0.1
Please make people aware that lots of these features are not available on all macs that support Monterey. I have a macBook Pro mid 2015 and it doesn't support most of the "features" you mentioned.
I bought a new computer so I could run windows 11... and now I've ordered a new MacBook to run MacOS Monterey! (2015 MacBook Pro)... I sure hope next years release will still support it!
Today I got bricked by the new macOS Monterey update on my 2018 MacBook Pro. Apple supporters are still the same as in the previous Big Sur update issue. They repeat like a parrot that there was an existing hardware issue and it was discovered while updating. It was working fine until morning while I was working on development. Everyone be careful.
Am I going to spend seven minutes watching what you think are the best features? I'd rather spend 10 minutes watching someone else's video discussing all new features so that I can choose which ones are the best. Sorry not watching
If you have an older Mac, this update will kill it. We lost 4 units that were bricked upon this update, so updater beware. They pull the same chit with the iPhone, refusing to allow older units to update, forcing them to be inefficient and kill the battery in a matter of hrs hoping you'll get frustrated and buy a new one. This is why I've been pc and android my whole life, Apple is a rip off, and they play on people's insecurities thinking they need to be Apple to be relevant. Shame on you Apple, and your elitist attitude. What a rip off.
Is it possible to revert to actual tabs? These buttons that behave like tabs are horrible. I also am wondering when Apple is going to rethink macOS completely, similar to Google’s Fuchsia operating system. Of-course, if there isn’t anything broken, why do it, but I just hope they aren’t engineering on top of something foundational that is inherently stuck in the past, if that would be the case.
I had no idea Universal control was not going to be ready at launch... That was the only reason I rushed to install it today. lol
I am actually real upset it didn't come out now, like the coolest feature
It will come out in a year lol
Same thing esp I don't have Sidecar coz hello Macbook Air 2017. lol What I'm happy about is the copy-paste across devices.
When my windows laptop had to update I genuinely wanted to throw it out the window
When my Mac has an update I literally watch every video on RUclips about it because I'm so excited about it
IKR! Windows 11 sounds like bad news. *glitches incoming!!!*
As a person who just switched to macOs from Windows, I can strongly confirm this fact
@@umuterdogan6033 i switched 1,5 year ago, and can confirm the same. Never get back to win
I don't agree, upgrades of Windows are major each time (new real features) not like Apple updates, install a 11gb new Monterey OS to get quick notes on screen corner.
@@hajhouj I don’t know what alternate universe you live in but it sounds interesting
Since many people still have Intel Macs, you should do a video of all the things you don’t get if you install Monterey on a non M1 Mac.
💯
Airplay to the mac and the delete and erase content option not on mine
Why aren't the bookmarks on top? You have to access them with a side bar?

So for those of you who are trying to use the feature and don't see the option in the file menu its because most likely your computer has the intel chip and not the M1 chip.
What about universal control will it work with intel based models
Thank you for this information!!

Should work on Intel Macs as well.
@@AppleInsider m1 macs prolly have more features right?
@@mj4_1 universal control doesn't require any intensive program because it uses continuity (handoff and universal clipboard's foundation basically)

does Monterey have the dark mode feature or not?

It would help to point out that some of these features are only available on Macs with M1 chips (e.g., portrait mode in Facetime).
can you mirror without it having to go into full screen mode? the mirroring is useful but it sucks that it takes up the entire screen when it just doesn't need too so I can multi task.
If I don’t do the update will it cause my mac to act up?
How well does this work with Photoshop? I won't download until I know for sure.
I updated my IMAC to Monterey but that feature of erase content etc...does not show for some reason?? Was it only on the Beta and they did not actually in rude it in the update? Thank you.
I think you forgot to mention the shortcuts app that was coming with the update
Anyone else having trouble getting your Mac set as an AirPlay 2 Speaker in HomeKit? It shows up for me, but when I try to add it, it says "Unable to Add Accessory."
how’s the battery life so far?
After updating, he never had to charge his iMac again!
So glad they added the feature(portrait mode). I have a 2020 MacBook Pro and was considering getting another pc for better camera quality and apple has meet my standards!
Is Monterey free download for Mac mini 2012?
It’s interesting to hear these reviews across devices because most features are about the same on iOS and iPad.
For videos like this, you could use the chapters feature of RUclips.
I updated to Monterey but my safari isn't the new style?
Nvm it’s an option in safari preferences > Tabs > compact
great info thank you
I have no 'Video Effects' in Control Center.
how to shareplay screen on iphone to mac m1 desktop
my quicknote doesnt work :/ does anyone know how to fix/enable it? ive been trying to do the method it tells me to but nothing ever pops up :/
Downloading now !!!! from PH
Does the quick note functionality extend to things like pdf reader?
It can be opened from anywhere and several apps are bringing support for it. Works in Preview
@@AppleInsider perfect! Very useful indeed.
Cool features Andrew. Is it possible to use this camera effect on Google Meet or Zoom? Alessandro 🇧🇷
Still waiting for Universal Control
well I dont have the erase option after I click on system preference and then again system pref.
Universal Control will be my favorite feature when it's released. Sorry guys at ShareMouse.
Its odd they hide tab groups behind an os update.
does anyone know how to free big sur system data if we upgrade system to Monterey.
Thanks for the video. I have an issue with AirPlay. I can’t find my MacBook Pro to mirror on my iPhone. My iPone is on iOS 15.1 and my Mac is on 12.0.1. I have tried restarting both devices but it still doesn’t work.
Intel iMac?
Strange a lot of windows shown like FaceTime and Safari were at a angle.
Just zooming in on the screen, which was shot at an angle, so the objects are closer/larger. Would be odd if it kept shifting perspective
@@AppleInsider That makes sense now! I was thinking they were direct screen recordings. Great video!
First feature - the background on FaceTime - only available on M1 chips.
I find it amusing that Apple fans get so excited for even the smallest updates, like the bokeh effect on Facetime, when apps like Zoom and Webex have it for more than a year now.
Zoom sucks and Teams is even worse.
Those platforms are absolute garbage. Zoom? Really? Lol

This is pretty much just Apple catching up, years later. But yeah, I get it, huge round of applause even to Apple's smallest efforts, I guess...
@@tropicalverktaki Ask Intel or any other chip maker if Apple is playing catch up with their M1 chipset.
I will wait to install Monterrey macos till is finished , so that will be till next year.
Thanx Andrew for another great video. Does anybody know how Monterey will run on a MacBook Pro 13-inch, 2017? Any issues?

Unfortunately I cannot upgrade to Monterey since they removed “Export As PDF” in Preview for ‘Locked’ PDF’s 😡😡

tip o' the hat for this upload speed
When will SharePlay work with macOS Monterey?
Today it works on everything
@@aaravpuri119 It doesn't work on my m1 MacBook Air, yes I have Monterey already.
It works for me on M1 air
All these new features yet they still can’t fix iCloud not syncing contacts correctly
Hope Apple is listening - Universal Control is the only thing really worth waiting for.
Has someone already upgraded? is it to buggy or sth?
I just upgraded on my MacBook Air (2017) and it's pretty fast. Haven't noticed any bugs so far.
Okay tell me this, how is these feature worth downloading 12 GB?
There will be updates to the system in the future.
why is the update not showing up for me 😭😭😭
Probably since still so fresh and Apple's servers are getting hammered
why I am not able to see any update in my Mac?
same
It's available, just could be Apple's servers being hammered
You need to search for it on the App Store. Not look in software updates.
I just upgrade my MacBook Air (early 2015) and it goes very, very smooth. Much better than Big Sur.
Ripper Monterey! TVD
One of your favorites is Portrait mode and is only available if you have M1 chip. ;-(
nice video
How did you get that green accent color?
the update isnt showing up...
It is out now so should be there any moment!
It is for me as of 1:30 PM EST
Does keeping low power mode always on damage the battery ?
anyone else safari UI not updated
"Erase all contents and settings" - I don't see this option at all, why?
Did you go back to the apple icon after you opened up system preference?
@@eyefocus2 No, I am looking at the menu under "System Preferences". I see option About System Preferences and the next option is Services and the others, hmm weird. I just downloaded this new OS, version is 12.0.1
I believe it's M1 only. I don't see the option either on my 2017.

Focis? Thought it was pronounced FocUS :)
You lost me. You didn't show how to mirror your phone onto the Mac...
It shows as an AirPlay device, just like an Apple TV. On your iPhone, open Control Center, tap Screen Mirroring, then tap your Mac!
Another "i don't see the update" comment. I'm also seeing some people say it's coming out tonight?
Nah, it is out now. Just keep checking.
I started downloading it about 1:30 PM EST
Am I the only one who is tired of Apple updating their software every 2 to 3 months and then you have to learn how to use it all over again. 🤔🙄
