The macOS Mojave will come with various new features. Apple will introduce the Home App on iOS 12 and macOS Mojave. This Home App will increase the users' experience.

Apart from the Home App, Apple also has introduced many new features to the macOS Mojave. Such features include Dark Mode, Group Facetime, Continuity Camera, and a lot more. Besides this, Apple has also enhanced the Gallery view.

Let’s see the changes in iOS 12 and macOS Mojave:

Home App

At WWDC 2018, Apple announced that it would launch the Home App to the upcoming iOS versions. Before the macOS Mojave, HomeKit was only available for iOS, tvOS, and watchOS.

Apple has introduced the iCloud support to the Home App. When the users launch the Home App for the first time, Home asks them whether they want to enable it with iCloud settings or not.

The all-new macOS Mojave will come with the Home App. For the first time, users can control the HomeKit devices from the Mac. If we talk about the layout, Apple keeps the layout of the Home App similar to the iOS. Hence, it will be more comfortable and familiar to the users. Moreover, it will increase the users' experience. This is one more advantage of keeping the layout of Home App similar to iOS.

Users will get the following features with Apple’s Home App:

  • SIRI

Now, users will be able to use the Siri to control HomeKit enabled accessories on the mac. Previously, only the iOS devices or HomePod were used for the same. With the Home App, it will be straightforward to use Siri.

  • Visual Change to the Home App

In iOS 12, Apple has changed the icon of the Add and Edit Homes button. The icon has been changed to the small white house.

  • Notifications

In iOS 12, users can set time of notifications at the HomeKit. They are also able to tell the HomeKit how they want to be notified.

The iOS 12 notification update lets users tap on the Add and Edit Homes button, swipe down, and make adjustments to the Notifications section. In the iOS 12, Apple grouped the notifications by the accessory type. For example, Cameras, Doors, Garage Doors, Locks, and Sensors. This categorization lets users adjust the notifications quickly than before.

Previously, users scroll down through accessories to adjust the things as per their comfort. The Home App makes this process easy. Now, users can click on the tile instead of tapping. Moreover, the 3D touching to adjust settings is changed to double click.

  • Stack

The Stack is a new feature that Apple introduced to the macOS Mojave. The motive to develop this feature is to reduce the desktop clutter.

Stacks organize all the files on your desktop as per file type, date, tag, and more. You can view all the files on the stack by hovering your cursor. Moreover, clicking on the stack will expand the full list of files. So that, you can easily access them.

Voice Memos

Using Voice memos, users can record personal notes, lectures, meetings quickly. On macOS Mojave and iOS 12, users can save all the voice recordings on the cloud. This lets users access their recordings across multiple devices.

Furthermore, the Voice Memos has a simple design. It has a record button on the left side. Also, it shows the list of all recordings. 

Group Facetime

iOS 12 and macOS Mojave support group facetime conversations. Such conversations can include a maximum of 32 people.

Users can join a Group Facetime call any time during the conversation. Moreover, users can also add a person to the Group Facetime during a call.

The most significant advantage of the Group Facetime is its both audio and video support. It lets users attend the Group Facetime call on Apple Watch and HomePod.

Dark Mode

In the macOS Mojave, Apple is going to introduce the dark theme mode. The macOS Mojave lets users switch the dark mode and transform their desktop into the dark colored theme.

Users can toggle and light mode on the desktop and some other applications. Such applications include built-in Mac apps like mail, messages, maps, calendar, photos. Besides this, the all-new macOS Mojave features a powerful desktop. This powerful desktop will automatically change the desktop picture as per the time of day.

Dynamic Desktop

Apple has introduced Dynamic desktop on macOS Mojave. This Dynamic Desktop is a useful feature for the wallpaper lovers. It automatically changes the wallpapers throughout the day.

Users will see a new wallpaper in the different phases of the day. For example, morning, afternoon, evening.

Continuity Camera

Continuity Camera is a new feature that Apple introduced to the macOS Mojave. This feature automatically ports your photographs to the Mac in the document or app of your choice. Merely take the photographs with your iPhone or iPad, it will port all of them automatically.

Gallery View

With macOS Mojave, you can easily find, view, and manipulate the files on your Mac. In the Gallery, macOS Mojave will display the large preview at the top. Also, thumbnails will be displayed at the bottom.

This will enhance the users' experience. Now, users can see images, videos, pdf files in a broader view.

Quick Actions

Quick Actions feature will be added to the sidebar. It lets users make quick changes to the files.

This feature has made the editing process like image rotation, password protection easy.

Users can access the Quick Action options by right-clicking on them anywhere within the macOS Mojave.

Conclusion

The development of the macOS Mojave will not only increases the users' experience but also opens the doors for every third-party app development company.

The companies and top ios app developers can develop future apps for macOS Mojave. Hence, increase the users' experience.
