MacOS Mojave Release: 22 Best New Features You Need to Know
Apple released its most awaited MacOS Mojave with the latest software upgrade packed with all new features and upgrades.
The new iOS is available right now and you can download via the Mac App Store. And, once installed, MacBook and iMac users will be treated to many new features like Stacks, Dark Mode, improved security and much more.
1. Enhanced Privacy for Your Mac
One of the hallmark and important features of Apple is its focus on user privacy. Following the lead of iOS, MacOS Mojave gets enhanced user privacy controls to request approval before apps can access your camera or microphone. Similarly, apps that wish to access Messages history or the Mail database will need user approval too.
2. Set your Mac to Dark Mode
New Dark Mode transforms your Mac with a dramatic, dark color layout will let you focus on your work and is also easy on your eyes. It’s very easy to toggle between appearances in Mojave by going to System Preferences > General and choosing perfect Light or Dark appearance.
3. A Cleaner Desktop
New OS have a Stacks feature that can help even the messiest of desktops by automatically collecting files into different groups based on file types, like images, presentations, PDFs and text documents. You can now choose to organize your stacks by date or by tags.
4. Improved Faster Finder
In New MacOS, you can scroll through big previews of your files to visually identify the one you’re looking for. You can easily scroll through various images, PDFs, presentations, or any other document — helping you find the file by how it looks.
5. Screenshots are now much easier
Now you can take screenshots — and even screen recordings — with ease. You just need to use the keyboard shortcut Command-Shift-5 to bring up the new Screenshot utility.
6. Safari gets Favicons
If you regularly keep many tabs open in Safari, you can now enable website icons in tabs (often called “favicons”), which allows you to identify your open tabs at a glance. In Safari Preferences, go to Tabs and check “Show website icons in tabs.”
7. Amo Up and Email by Emojis
Do you want to add a little more personality to your emails? It’s easier than ever now in new MacOS Mojave. The Mail app includes a built-in Emoji picker. Simply open a compose window in Mail and you’ll find Emoji picker up in the right corner.
8. Continuity Camera will save you Time
You can now use your iPhone to shoot or scan a nearby object or document and have it automatically appear on your Mac. Just use the context menu (right-click) in Finder, Mail, Messages, Notes, Pages, Keynote, and Numbers to find a new option to take a Photo or Scan Document from your iPhone.
9. Extra Apple Apps come to the Mac
For the first time, popular iOS apps like News, Stocks, Voice Memos, and Home are now on your Mac with Mojave. With News, you will get all the news that matters to you in one app. You’re all favorite topics, channels, and saved stories stay sync between devices and you can enjoy reading articles, viewing accompanying images and video on your Mac.
10. Improved Safari Security
In MacOS Mojave, Safari now automatically suggests a strong, secure password whenever you create a new account. Even better, if you have reused passwords in the past, they’ll be flagged in Safari preferences > Passwords, so you can now quickly update them to strong passwords and protect yourself from website account breaches or hacking activities. If you ever need to quickly pull up your password, you can just ask Siri.
11. Check out All New App Store
MacOS Mojave brings you a whole new redesigned Mac App Store. If you haven’t refreshed your Mac apps in a while, now it is a great time to visit the Mac App Store and find out some fun new apps for work or play.
12. New Dynamic Desktop
To go along with Dark Mode, Apple also introduce the Dynamic Desktop in Mojave which now automatically changes the desktop wallpaper to match the time of the day.
13. Quick Look
Quick Look lets you perform specific actions on files or documents without actually opening an app. In MacOS Mojave, you can now use Quick Look for Markup tools, like adding your own signature, rotating and cropping your images, and even editing and trimming videos.
14. Gallery View in Finder
The Finder gets a new Gallery View in which it is now easier to skim through your photos and videos.
15. Quick Actions
Finder also has a Quick Actions toolbar which allows you to quickly create password-protect PDFs, run Automator actions, and many more.
16. Sneak Peek into New Developer Framework
Apple in Mojave gave developers a sneak peek under which it is bringing UIKit, the iOS development framework to MacOS. This will allow developers to easily port their iOS apps to MacOS.
17. Group FaceTime
Apple is introducing Group FaceTime with iOS 12 and the feature is also a part of MacOS Mojave. With Group FaceTime, you can now make a group video call up to 32 people. Even better, you can use Animoji, Memoji, stickers, and more in an ongoing FaceTime call.
18. Markup tools in more places
Mojave adds new Markup tools to Finder, Quick Look and screenshots, making it easier to sign a PDF or annotate a photo or screenshot.
19. SIX NEW ACCENT COLORS
Earlier Users are able to change between blue and graphite accent colours in macOS, but in Mojave, you’re able to choose between six additional colours. This setting influences the colour of UI accents like radio buttons, dropdown menu arrows and many more. To change the accent colour, go to System Preferences → General, and select your desired colour.
20. COMPLETE METADATA
In Finder when viewing files, you can now see all the associated metadata, you can also customize the specific metadata that you wish to see.

You can now easily toggle recent app functionality by going to System Preferences → Dock and checking or unchecking recent applications in Dock.
