macOS Monterey goes live, now available to download and install

If you’ve been hankering for the official release of macOS Monterey, it’s here.

macOS Monterey 12.0.1, the successor to macOS Big Sur, arrived as promised on Monday, and is now available to download and install via the Software Update pane in System Preferences.

To install macOS Monterey, just use the following steps:

  • Open System Preferences
  • Click on Software Update
  • Follow on-screen installation instructions

New features include Shortcuts, Focus, Live text as well as the following new features:

  • AirPlay to Mac – allows users can play, present, and share from their iPhone or iPad right to their Mac,
  • SharePlay – lets users remotely watch content together, including Fitness+
  • Updates to FaceTime and iMessage

One new feature, Universal Control, is expected to arrive later this fall. In addition, some key features, such as Portrait Mode, Live Text in Photos, and improvements to maps, will only work with M1, M1 Pro, and M1 Max processors.

If you’ve installed macOS Monterey on your Macs, please let us know what you make of the new operating system.
