If you’re wondering why you should update your Mac to macOS Sonoma, it’s because of the multitude of new features and improvements that Apple has added to its operating system. These enhancements range from better gaming performance with Game Mode to improved personalization and design options like desktop widgets and slow-motion screensavers.

Among the notable changes in this update are more accurate autocorrect fixes, in-line text predictions, Sensitive Content warnings in Messages (including select non-Apple messaging apps), a security feature called Lockdown Mode for high-risk users, optimizations to screen sharing, faster automatic switching for AirPods users, and a Presenter Overlay feature that allows users to share both their screen and webcam video simultaneously.

For users with unique accessibility needs, Apple has expanded its Accessibility features. This includes Personal Voice for users who have difficulty speaking, which is integrated with the Live Speech feature. Additionally, deaf users can now use Made for iPhone hearing devices with their Mac computer.
