Apple has started to roll out macOS Sierra, a free update to the El Capitan operating system that powers Apple notebooks and desktops. macOS Sierra brings various performance enhancements, the most notable being the Siri voice assistant which has been made available on the desktop for the first time.
Other key features include a universal clipboard function, the ability to unlock a desktop with a nearby Apple Watch, a vastly improved search and UI for Photos App, plus the ability to access files on your desktop using a connected iPhone or iPad.
In tune with the recent iOS 10 update on mobile devices, the macOS Sierra's Messages app now includes more comprehensive links including embedded webpages, graphics, images or video. macOS now offers picture in picture capabilites plus Apple Pay on supported websites.
To enable the update, make sure you have a recent backup, ensure your Mac is plugged in, click the Apple logo on the left hand side > About this Mac > and under Overview, click on Software Update.
macOS Sierra is available as a free update starting today from the Mac App Store. macOS Sierra supports all Macs introduced since late 2009. Some features may not be available in all regions or all languages. For more information, please visit: www.apple.com/ca/macos/sierra.
