Now we are here in mid-December and Apple has pushed the release of Universal Control farther back to “Spring.” Spring of 2022 spans the time between March 20th and June 21st – that’s a long way off, but not so far off that it would cause concern to the average user. 9to5Mac even created a guide that walked you through how to enable the feature.Īfter Apple’s October MacBook Pro event, the company confirmed via its website that Universal Control was no longer shipping with the first release of macOS Monterey but would rather be available “later this Fall.” The feature wasn’t even shown off again during the event, something Apple likes to do with flashy new OS headliners. Think of it like a Chrome flag that Google has turned off by default. It was hidden deep within the OS, still clearly a work-in-progress but technologically functional. In late August, developers learned that there was a workaround to enable the feature in the beta 5 of macOS Monterey. We just expected that they would add Universal Control in beta 2 or a subsequent beta release. When Apple dropped the first developer beta of macOS Monterey, it wasn’t necessarily surprising that some features were missing – that’s usually the case with the first developer betas of any Apple operating system. Now here we are, six months after the formal introduction of macOS Monterey and Universal Control is still nowhere to be found. But we quickly learned that behind the scenes, that wasn’t necessarily the case. Craig Federighi gave a mesmerizing demo of the feature at WWDC over the summer and to the viewer’s eye, it appeared nearly ready to go – it was seamless. This release also includes new emoji, dynamic head tracking for Music, and other features and bug fixes for your Mac.MacOS Monterey’s headline feature, Universal Control, was originally slated to launch nearly two months ago. MacOS 12.3 adds Universal Control so you can use a single mouse and keyboard across your Mac and iPad. Here are the full release notes for macOS 12.3: One in particular patches a flaw that allowed apps to “spoof system notifications and UI” and could have allowed for serious phishing trouble – was discovered by 9to5Mac’s Gui Rambo. There are also a number of security updates that come with macOS 12.3. More changes include the ability to add notes to saved passwords in Safari, support for the PS5 DualSense adaptive trigger, and a ScreenCaptureKit framework for “high-performance screen recording.”
