Everything on macOS Tahoe

The largest change is the renewed design. Elements like the menu bar and tabs look like a kind of glass and are transparent. This way, you have more space on your screen. Via the settings, you can easily set which items you want to see in your menu bar. You can then adjust the colors of folders, app symbols, and widgets. That way, you can make your Mac unique.

Your Apple Mac now also has its own Phone app. With this app, you have quick access to the function of the Phone app on your iPhone. For example, view recent calls, contacts, or voicemails. There are new functions as well. You can automatically filter calls from unknown callers with Call Screening. Are you on hold? With Hold Assist, you can remain in line and keep working in the meantime.

With the new Apple Games app, you have all games gathered in 1 environment. You can also talk to your friends more easily thanks to the useful chat function. Invite your friends while gaming and play your favorite games together. You can play more and more games on your Mac, because other games like Cyberpunk 2077 will release soon as well.

Spotlight is the search function of your Mac. With macOS Tahoe, Spotlight is more extensive than every before and you can perform actions even easier. Files, folders, apps, and message are all below each other. You can even find your iPhone apps back in Spotlight. Use the filters if you want to search specifically. If you use Spotlight a lot, it'll learn from your searches and provide personalized results.

With Apple Intelligence, you can use the smart AI functions from Apple on all your devices. That way, you can work faster and more smoothly. With the new Apple Intelligence functions, you can:

• Automatically translate your message with Live Translation;
• perform smart actions with Shortcuts;
• create Genmojis in new ways;
• boost your productivity with Reminders.

Other interesting new functions are:
