Download macOS Monterey: this is how you do it
We had to wait quite a while, but finally macOS Monterey has been released. The big Mac update of 2021 follows macOS Big Sur and has a number of cool new features. However, the changes are slightly smaller this year, because the design remains the same, for example.
With macOS Monterey, Safari gets a major update and you can finally stream images to your Mac(Book) with AirPlay, for example from your iPhone. Furthermore, it is possible to FaceTime with Windows and Android users and there is the Focus mode to work undisturbed on your Mac.
Unfortunately, we can’t get started with Universal Control, also known as ‘Universal Control’. Apple has had to postpone this feature until “later this fall.” This feature makes it easier to work on multiple Apple devices at the same time, for example by using your MacBook trackpad to control your iPad.
How to install macOS Monterey
Downloading and installing macOS Monterey is simple. Simply follow the steps below to get the latest version. Pay attention: Since Monterey has just been released, it may take a while for you to see the update. If it’s not available to you yet, please try again later.
- Open the System Preferences;
- Click on the ‘Software Update’ button;
- Wait for macOS Monterey to appear here and click “Update”;
- Wait for the download to complete and follow the steps on the screen.
It is important to know that your Mac will restart (several times) during the update. That’s why it’s smart to save your files and open documents beforehand, have enough storage space and make a backup of your Mac.
