Just ask Siri AI.
Powered by Apple Intelligence, Siri AI is your conversational AI assistant with entirely new capabilities on your Mac. Ask open-ended questions, brainstorm ideas for work or creative projects, and engage in natural, back-and-forth conversations. And when you search in Spotlight, you can choose “Ask Siri” as the top hit.
-
Siri understands your personal context.
Siri AI can find relevant answers to what you’re looking for just by asking. Search for a photo from years ago, easily locate an email buried in your inbox, or pull up a note you saved on your Mac.
-
Take action in more apps.
Siri AI can take actions in apps like Messages, Music, Reminders, and more based on what you’re doing in the moment. Quickly edit a message you just sent or add a song from a show you’re watching to your workout playlist.
-
Tap into broad world knowledge.
Ask about virtually any topic, do research for a project, or prepare for an interview. Siri AI can reference information online to give you detailed, up-to-date insights.
-
Introducing the Siri app.
A dedicated app brings together all your conversations in one place, so you can ask a question on your Mac and pick up where you left off on your iPhone. You can also pin conversations for easy access or start a new one.
-
Visual Intelligence with Siri on Mac.
Ask Siri AI about virtually anything on your screen. Just take a screenshot of what’s on your display, like an image or a PDF, to get answers, search, or take action.3
-
Write with Siri virtually anywhere you type.
Siri AI can now generate a draft from scratch or provide feedback on what you’ve written. Just describe what you need in your own words. And in Messages and Mail, Siri AI can match your writing style, punctuation, and tone — so you sound like you.
-
Customize how Siri sounds.
Pick a voice, then customize expressivity and pace until it clicks for you.4
-
Safari works smarter for you.
Now your tabs can be automatically grouped into topics, so related pages are easier to find on your Mac. And Safari Notify Me monitors pages for changes — for example, a price change or restock — and alerts you when it’s time to act.
-
Fix passwords with a click.
The Passwords app alerts you to weak or compromised passwords and can update them on your behalf without the hassle.
-
Next-level intelligent photo editing.
Reframe a photo after it’s been taken with Spatial Reframing. Expand your shots with the Extend tool. And remove even larger objects with the enhanced Clean Up tool.
-
Express more with Image Playground.
Create unique, high-quality images for any project in just about any style, including photorealistic. Modify and transform your images with just a description for endless possibilities.
-
Describe a shortcut.
Automate daily tasks with a simple description. Just describe what you need and Shortcuts connects actions across multiple apps to get it done.
-
Help them communicate safely.
Communication Safety helps protect children from viewing or sharing nudity in Messages, FaceTime, and more. It now also intervenes before children see gore or violence in shared images and videos.
-
Time Allowances and Schedules.
Parents can set Time Allowances across categories like Entertainment, Games, and Social Media. We provide parents with guidance for setting Time Allowances that is based on a child’s age and developed with clinical and child development experts. Parents can always adjust these allowances based on what’s best for their child. And Schedules lets parents choose which apps are available to their child at different times or days of the week.
-
Intuitive, easy-to-use controls.
An all-new design makes parental controls in System Settings even easier to use. At a glance, parents can check how their kids have been using their Mac. And parents can quickly adjust access in the moment with just a click.
-
Design refinements.
Updates to Liquid Glass ensure exceptional readability with more uniform refraction and improved contrast. Uniform toolbars, edge-to-edge sidebars, and updated window shapes and menu bar icons deliver a more refined design. And a new slider lets you easily customize how Liquid Glass looks, from ultraclear to fully tinted.
-
Faster performance.
With quicker AirDrop transfers, faster network file browsing, and speedier start page content loading in Safari, your Mac feels more responsive than ever.
-
More relevant search in Mail.
A new ranking system brings the most relevant results to the top to help you find what you need right away — even if it’s buried deep in your inbox.
-
And so many more.
With improvements at the very core of the system and enhancements to apps and experiences you rely on every day, macOS feels better than ever.
Accessibility.
VoiceOver gets new capabilities for understanding onscreen content, including richer image descriptions. A new captioning feature automatically generates synced subtitles for any video you watch, and it can even translate existing captions into other languages.
Describe an event, add to Calendar.
Add and edit events on your calendar with just a description. Easily edit the description to change a lunch meeting to a coffee chat and the Calendar app adjusts the details.
Ultrawide display support.
Now you can get higher resolutions on ultrawide displays, such as 5K at 120Hz. And your display arrangements stay exactly as you left them, for a seamless experience every time you plug in.
Improved iCloud Shared Albums.
It’s easier for friends and family on Android or Windows to join and contribute their own photos on iCloud.com. Shared Albums also adds support for full-resolution sharing and new ways to filter and react to photos and invite others to share an album.
Get things done with Suggestions.
Messages and Mail offer suggestions to help you take quick actions based on context from your conversation — add a calendar event or search for a photo with just a click. Coming in English.
Get relevant information while on a call.
Call Context can proactively surface relevant information from across your apps when calling a business — like a confirmation code from Mail when you call an airline. Coming in English.
Enhanced Flyover in Maps.
Flyover now uses aerial imagery combined with Visual Intelligence models to render everything from architectural fixtures to the shapes of individual trees in stunning, sharp detail.
Swipe down to refresh.
Swipe down in apps like Safari, Mail, News, Podcasts, and Calendar to get up-to-date information in your apps.
Updated video podcasts experience on Mac.
Switch seamlessly between watching and listening to shows, making the experience of discovering and viewing video podcasts as simple and enjoyable as listening to audio podcasts has always been.
