For those using FaceTime or other video call apps, Sonoma introduces features like the ability to overlay your video on top of a presentation. This is perfect for professional presentations or training sessions.
4. Safari and Privacy
Safari gets significant improvements, including Profiles to separate personal and professional browsing data. Additionally, new privacy lock features make browsing even more secure.
5. Other Improvements
Animated Screensavers: Sonoma adds dynamic screensavers with stunning scenery, similar to Apple TV.
Performance Enhancements: macOS Sonoma optimizes system efficiency, ensuring faster response times and better battery usage.
Enhanced Accessibility: New features like live text pronunciation and better integration with assistive devices.
