Apple has launched its latest operating system, macOS Sonoma, bringing an array of exciting features to Mac users. Compatible devices will soon notify users about the available update, or it can be manually checked in the System Settings > General > Software Update section.
This update, coming shortly after the release of iOS 17, offers a range of enhancements for Mac users. macOS Sonoma introduces interactive widgets that can be placed directly on the desktop, seamlessly integrating with the wallpaper. These widgets offer interactive functionality, allowing users to manage reminders, control media playback, access home controls, and perform various tasks right from the desktop.
