The BEST macOS Sonoma Features - Setup and Explained!

[@scholarazwa]

I like the fact that you SHOW us how to do it instead of just talking about them. Good job! 👍🏼

[@Noud]

The video quality is insane, Kyle! Keep it up!

[@KyleErickson]

Thanks!

[@Cville2347]

Good preview of the upcoming Sonoma release. Thanks very much! 👍

[@PatricioBenavente]

Tip: you can customize the focus modes to use profiles in safari

[@tuworlds]

i love the fact that unlike other reviewers you actually went through the little uncommon features and not only the big wow features because the main features get boring to listen to as those are the features many other reviewers do yawn great video just the way that you have delivered this content is fantastic subbed

[@tuworlds]

is the prize giveaway real or is it a just unknown persons trying to collect kyle's veiwers details?

[@ksajamx]

@@tuworlds it’s a scam, every channel has scammer passing as the KZbinrs now

[@tuworlds]

@@ksajamx yea thanks for the confirmation. after letting me know that i won a macbook pro then sent me a link stating to click on it to contact miss katherine for address details and where for her to send the prize. it was at that point i deleted the contact. the whole conversation with them was really suspicious.

[@EagerHub]

You've done a great job. Video quality, flow and synchronisation are superb!!!. Keep it up.

[@KyleErickson]

Thanks for watching and the kind words!

[@marthinlarsen1473]

Great video, I just bought my first ever laptop Pro m3 pro😄 im learning by the day, im telling you this machine is intuitive.

[@UrbanBDKNY]

The screensharing feature is super dope

[@greghudson3434]

Good video Kyle. I'm really enjoying your channel since I discovered it, keep up the good work. I'm using the new public beta 3 now that just came out and I love the wallpaper/screen savers and the addition of private browsing being password protected. I haven't gotten too deep into every app since beta 1 but I hear some good filters and stuff added in photos etc. I like as on iOS the better autocorrect/prediction which alone is worth the upgrade. I will say system has been very stable even since beta1 not really encountering many bugs aside from logging often overwrites first character and have to retype password. Lots of refinements throughout the whole system in addition tot he main focus points. Jump in and have fun.

[@MatthewPCLO]

I love the docked web apps feature

[@singhkrishanu]

Nice Video Kyle. Keep up the grind👍

[@KyleErickson]

Thank you! And thanks for watching!

[@manLiMarth]

I always look forward to these breakdowns - thanks, Kyle!

[@KyleErickson]

Thanks for watching!

[@philthehuman]

Thanks for the video! Most likely I'll never use any of these features.

[@TravisBasson]

Feature 1: i used to create a desktop shortcut to a URL, change the icon with a pic off google images, and then drag into the dock. Nice to have it integrated but it wasn’t so hard before

[@KyleErickson]

if you're cool with that, that's totally fine! I like that this behaves as a standalone app/PWA vs just opening a browser with a specific URL from a shortcut

[@TravisBasson]

⁠@@KyleEricksonthat shows I didn’t pay full attention, because I missed that detail of it behaving like a stand-alone app 🙈 cheers for the reply and clarification Kyle 👌

[@KyleErickson]

@@TravisBasson no worries!

[@AbeRosenberg]

Thanks Kyle. I like the feature of turning a web page into an "app" you can place in the dock, but I wish Apple hadn't limited that to Safari. I use Chrome and would love to see it work there too.

[@saturndev]

It’s been in Chrome forever

[@chuganisundeep]

Finally profiles on Safari

[@KhaledSoul]

It feels like an eternity between the announcement and the release date, especially for this update.

[@JAH1139]

This is really interesting, is Mac going to finally be able to run Steam games competently?

[@oblivion7300]

karate chop anywone who doesnt beliee in me is hilarious lmfaoo

[@janettetteh6406]

Can I have this on my Mac book air 2020?

[@g43s]

Docked web apps are gonna be a game changer for older macs with crxppy 128gbs like mine, there are sooo many apps that dont need to be installed locally imo. also... 1:50 what the heck haha, why wont you just use Flotato?

[@adrianfam8098]

Is it safe to download the new beta for mac?

[@rml695]

I’m really looking forward to the web apps

[@MrMorenoMusik]

Hi broo, Great video, my first time in your channel, I recently got MacOS Sonoma, I have a question, I has been trying to download some free trial music software production from Izotope. But I can’t open them. They has been download as the windows show me, but Whean I wanna to open it, they don’t open. Is there Any new SETTINGS that I need to do ? any tips you can give me, it will be very helpful. I hope u can help me. Thks 🙏🏻

[@asolepascual]

Hi Kyle! Thanks for the video. What seems to be a problem occurs to me: I add widgets from my iPhone to my Mac screen and I can't interact with them, only read the content. Is this normal or is there a problem? Thank you!

[@JC907AK]

Dang I need to get a new macbook, i don't have any of those settings lol

[@MwishaLudack]

After installing Sonoma on my MacBook Pro M2, suddenly I lost the normal Bluetooth functionalities to my headphones and my airpods pro. The weird thing with my airpods is, I could only hear from one peace at a time. Has anyone else experience this? How did you fix it?

[@SigM1811]

The only thing I don’t like/ can’t find in Mac OS Sonoma I need to change my system preferences under security and privacy and click the old padlock that used to be there to add programs. I cannot find this feature on Mac OS Sonoma just privacy and security and different things.

[@JonAdamsTech]

Do you recommend going to Sonoma if my macbook is my only work computer? You said it's stable but is it daily driver stable yet?

[@KyleErickson]

I wouldn't, if you really want to make sure you back up first.

[@JonAdamsTech]

Good call! @@KyleErickson

[@kostya_net]

Hello. Can you please send me a link to a tutorial that tells how to make such a transition in the text as you have on the preview. I would like to learn how to do this.

[@rogalaphotography]

How is the Beta working with Final Cut Pro & the various plugins?

[@bryans8656]

Thanks for the review Kyle. I'm not sure which, if any, of these features I'm going to use. I've played around with widgets in the past, mostly when Windows 8 was a thing, and lost interest after a while. I will be giving all the features a try though so this tutorial was useful.

[@sam-45632]

gotta love the new 12gb ram Wallpapers thx apple

[@tuworlds]

is the prize giveaway real or is it unknown persons trying to collect kyle's veiwers details?

[@KyleErickson]

no idea what you're referring to

[@tuworlds]

@@KyleErickson it's ok .... just scammers trying to get one over on the viewers

[@meemorelive]

THE BLACK BAR lol

[@Luislucero502]

Which game is that?

[@Joker-fj8hg]

No Man’s Sky

[@DavidNg12345]

I just found that new wallpapers and screensavers are considered as one of the new "functionalities" 😂😂

[@Lilblock545]

For people thinking about switching if you game don’t yet my personal test shows that macOS Sonoma performance in gaming is actually worse than Ventura in most games

[@ksajamx]

He’s so cute 😳🥹

[@MikeSims70]

This feels very much like a "Fluffware" MacOS upgrade.

[@TheDanEdwards]

Much goes on under the hood with these massive OS developments. And Sonoma likely is being rolled out for the coming M3 Macs.

[@MikeSims70]

​@@TheDanEdwardsOh I think highly ogf Apple and their engineering standards ... I just think they kind of get themselves in a bit of a trap by releasing new stuff every year or so ... they don't need to be that aggressive ... but at the same time, I simply applaud (standing ovation style) their decision to go with the M processors ... once again they are pulling off a damn bold maneuver and they are managing it with style and none of their users are being left out in the cold. Microsoft has been developing for the same platform for over 35 years and they still can't manage to create an OS that is aesthetically consistent, technically simple, yet powerful enough to accommodate any level of user ... and they go YEARS between upgrades and they still can't get it right ... I'm not criticizing Apple for their work, because their work is simply genius ... Im criticizing the corner they backed themselves into by creating this expectation of releasing new stuff in short periods of time ... they can take a break from that as far as I'm concerned.

[@stefanlewis9609]

WARNING::

if you use Apple Music App with Sync turned OFF - Do not open the app on macOS Sonoma. Apple Removed the sync setting and is now forcing sync always on. It will mess up your music library by replacing all your metadata, replacing your songs, creating duplicates, some cases it will malfunction and deleted your music. 

if your like me and an old school iTunes user who likes to manual manage, BACKUP you music folder before opening Music on macOS Sonoma, so you save your library and then go yell at apple to bring it back.

[@TobiasPelton]

I don't understand people psyched about the website to web app feature. That's been a part of Chrome for years. Settings>more tools>create shortcut.

[@jackwakeham7160]

It’s not the same as just adding a shortcut. It doesn’t act the same as a regular browser window, it is completely independent.

[@TobiasPelton]

@@jackwakeham7160 maybe give it a try before you say it’s not the same

[@Tony_Fortin]

SKEWL 🤣

[@ilankrt]

Widgets are a flop

[@ilankrt]

Apple has lost any innovative development. Sonoma has nothing important or exciting to offer despite the blogger intense to show „new“ features…

[@KyleErickson]

fight the power, I believe in you

[@ilankrt]

@@KyleEricksonYou should know that I am Apple user day 1 (I got the first Macintosh sailed in Europe) and I never touches since then a WIN machine. But nowadays Apple innovations are gone! All "new" thing in Sonova, in iPhone 15 and iWatch are "waist paper" which make using them unnecessarily more complicated. Only my M1 Mac Studio Ultra is in my opinion worth to discuss ..

[@andrei-ioanzamfir6035]

The way that you pronounce “Safariiiii” made me want to stop the video and never watch your channel again.

[@KyleErickson]

sounds like someone needs a hug

[@jeclipse129]

What a snowflake 😂
