- You may make better use of your screen by using Split View mode.
- Open two apps side by side on the screen to work on them concurrently.
Improvements in Mail:
Manage emails using the swipe gesture on your trackpad, just like on your iPhone. Swipe right to mark an email as read or unread, or swipe left to delete it. The improved full-screen mode allows you to switch between your inbox and drafts.
The Notes app: simple, powerful, and updated.
Format your notes: add titles, paragraph headings, bulleted and numbered lists, and to-do lists. Add media such as photos, videos, documents, PDFs, links, and map coordinates. Quickly find and view the contents of all your notes with the attachment browser.
More Features Included:
The Photos app offers new methods for working with images
For whole photo groups, add and modify geographical information as well as titles, descriptions, and keywords. To access additional editing features, use third-party extensions
Safari is the Internet’s greatest resource
Your favourite websites will always be available, updated, and open when you use Pinned Sites. Use themes and fonts like Sepia or Night when reading articles in Reader. Use the Smart Search feature in Safari to mute a specific webpage.
