25 FEATURES YOU SHOULD BE USING IN MACOS CATALINA
With each release of macOS, there are major new features that stand out, but there are many more that you don’t hear about and you run into by happenstance. It’d be nice to know what these features are, so you can get the most out of your Mac. That’s the objective of this list: To show you 25 features you might not know about, and that will help make it easier to use your Mac.
Of the features highlighted here, we didn’t include some major changes that we’ve covered previously, such as Sidecar, which allows you to use an iPad as a second Mac display, or the new Music, TV, and Podcasts apps that replace iTunes. While this list does include some other major changes, it’s mostly comprised of more nuanced features that may not seem so obvious.
FINDER/OS UPDATES
macOS Catalina has a few new ways for you to use your Mac. Here are the major changes to look for.
1. Finder access for iOS devices
In previous versions of macOS, you used iTunes to manage your iPhone or iPad. iTunes no longer exists in macOS Catalina; instead, you manage your device through the Finder.
To see your device, connect it to your Mac using a USB-to-Lightning cable. Then, in the Finder, open a window. If your Mac’s internal storage device is set to appear on the Desktop, you can double-click that icon. If not, you can press Shift-⌘-C on your keyboard.
