Important New Features of macOS Mojave

Apple has included some awesome new features in macOS Mojave, and they will improve your productivity. Some of the new features are mentioned below.

Continuity Camera

Continuity Camera feature will help you if you have an iOS device aka iPhone or iPad with iOS 12. Otherwise, this feature is not that helpful for Android and MacBook users. Coming back to the point, this option does exactly what it means. That implies you can continue using your camera from Mac to iOS and vice versa.

For example, you want to embed a photo from iOS into a document that you are editing on Mac. That thing is possible with the help of Continuity Camera feature. There are many times when we want to embed a bill or book pages or something like that into a document. If you follow the traditional method, you need to transfer the photograph from iOS to Mac, and then you can access that. However, this new feature will let you skip the transfer part.

Being said that, you need to open the document where you want to embed the photograph and then right-click on it to get the Take Photo option. Following that, you will get an option to capture photo with iOS device. Utilize that option and capture a photograph from iOS device.

Dark Mode

Dark Mode is something that you might like if you use your Mac a lot. The blue light is always a health destroyer and to get rid of that, you can enable dark mode in Mac. As you are using macOS Mojave, you do not need to install any third-party software for that since Apple has included a new option to get dark mode without any third-party tool. The best thing is a lot of apps including Safari, Apple News, and more others can integrate this Dark mode easily and without any lag.

To enable Dark mode in macOS Mojave, do follow the following steps.

Open Apple menu and select System Preferences > General.

Following that, select Dark from Appearance menu.

You will get the dark theme instantly.

Desktop Stacks

This is one of the best options when you have a cluttered Desktop, and you want to organize that quickly. Desktop is one of the best places where people keep various files to access them quickly. However, if you have a smaller Mac computer like MacBook Air or so, it gets cluttered quickly. Therefore, you can organize all the files with the help of Desktop Stacks.

This simple option has been included into your macOS Mojave OS. To utilize this option, right-click on the desktop and select Use Stacks.

Alternatively, you can go to View > Use Stacks.

All the files and folders will be organized instantly.

Dynamic Desktop

When you are working whole day with a lot of pressure in front of your Mac, this is very difficult to track the time. Dynamic Desktop can let you know when this is afternoon or evening or night by changing the desktop wallpaper. As of now, such a thing is very limited on macOS Mojave, and however, Apple will enhance this feature very soon.

To use the Dynamic Desktop wallpaper, open System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver. You can find a different icon on the wallpaper thumbnail. If you select that wallpaper, you will get Dynamic Desktop.

New Screenshot Tool

Like iOS, Apple has included a brand-new editing interface for screenshots. Now you can capture a screenshot with native hotkeys and follow that; you would be able to edit that as per your requirements.

This editing interface can help you add text, shape, freehand drawing and more others.
