Its name is inspired by Santa Catalina Island, \u00a0popularly known as Catalina.\u00a0The latest macOS edition was announced on 3<sup>rd<\/sup> June 2019 and was released on October 7th as macOS 10.15. On Oct 29th, an upgraded version\u201410.15.1 of macOS Catalina was released.\u00a0In this blog, we\u2019ll see what all has changed and added in <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-in\/HT210650\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">macOS\u00a0 10.15 Catalina<\/a> when compared with macOS Mojave.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.co.in\/software\/buy\/mdr\/buy-now.php?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=MDR&amp;utm_campaign=Blog-Mid-Banner\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25425 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/stellar-data-recovery-mac.png\" alt=\"stellar-data-recovery-mac-mid-banner\" width=\"850\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/stellar-data-recovery-mac.png 850w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/stellar-data-recovery-mac-300x124.png 300w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/stellar-data-recovery-mac-150x62.png 150w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/stellar-data-recovery-mac-768x316.png 768w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/stellar-data-recovery-mac-610x250.png 610w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>New Features in macOS Catalina<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Apps get added features<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Applications such as Photos and Notes that come with macOS Catalina are much more advanced. Given below are the features you get with <em>Photos<\/em> and <em>Notes<\/em> applications when you upgrade to macOS Catalina.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>\n<h4><strong>Photos-A<\/strong><strong>llows to view photos by year, month, day, or view all<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The enhanced Photos app makes it easier to find your photos. When you launch the app and select <em>Photos <\/em>under<em> Library<\/em>, you\u2019ll find a dropdown menu at the top of the screen. Click the dropdown and select <em>Years<\/em> to find photos bundled year-wise. Similarly, if you select Months or Days, the photos will be bundled accordingly. \u00a0If you want to see all the photos, simply select <em>All Photos.<\/em><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>\n<h4><strong>Removes duplicates and showcases best shots<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Catalina OS allows the Photos app to learn from what you do. This is called machine learning or Artificial Intelligence (AI).\u00a0Shots taken in a sequence are generally duplicate. With AI, the photo app removes duplicates and keeps the best ones only.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>\n<h4><strong>Identifies people, places, things, and events<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Machine learning allows the Photos app to compare photos with the existing ones so as to identify people, places, things, and events. By using this feature, the Photos app can create collections, such as <em>Memories<\/em> that may be focused on an event, person, or both.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>\n<h4><strong>Notes<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Notes app with Catalina has improved search capabilities. This enables you to search the text of choice. You can even search for objects in images on your notes.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>2. Supports 64-bit apps exclusively<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Known for its innovation, Apple had been talking about the discontinuation of support for 32-bit applications. The new OS Catalina supports 64-bit applications only.\u00a0Hence, if you want to use an application with Catalina, make sure that it\u2019s a 64-bit application. For instance, if you want to recover data on macOS Catalina, use an advanced 64-bit application like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.co.in\/software\/data-recovery-mac.php\">Stellar Data Recovery for Mac<\/a> which is fully compatible with macOS Catalina.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>3. Use the iPad as a secondary display<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Catalina has a feature called <em>Sidecar<\/em>. By using this, you can use your iPad as a secondary monitor to your Mac system.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6469\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6469\" class=\"wp-image-6469 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/duetdisplayatwork-e1573725153720.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-6469\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Source: Tech Crunch<\/p><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>4. Locate your Mac when it\u2019s disconnected or asleep<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This feature overcomes the setback of macOS Mojave which allowed you to locate your Mac only when it was connected to the internet. With macOS Catalina, you can locate your Mac even if it\u2019s not connected to the internet or has fallen asleep<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>5. iTunes replaced with Apple TV, Apple Music &amp; Apple Podcasts <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">iTunes no longer exists in the updated macOS. Instead, there exist 3 different apps\u2014 Apple TV, Apple Music, and Podcasts.\u00a0Music and Movies that earlier were part of iTunes are now part of Apple Music and Apple TV, respectively. iTunes Store resides in the Apple Music app.\u00a0For podcasts, you get a dedicated application.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>While upgrading to Catalina OS, all iTunes items automatically move to their respective apps.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>6.Monitor and control app usage <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Screen Time<\/em> app added with macOS Catalina is of great help when you want to monitor and control the usage of your Mac system.\u00a0You can create custom usage reports, view data related to the usage of apps, and set dedicated app or communication limits.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>7. Dedicated, read-only volume assigned to OS<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>macOS Catalina runs on a dedicated, read-only system volume. This prevents writing data to the volume on which the OS runs.\u00a0 It has other enhanced security features as well.\u00a0 Gatekeeper feature provides enhanced protection against malware threats. It checks for any known security threats with the applications before you actually run them.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6470\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6470\" class=\"wp-image-6470 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/macos-catalina-disk-utility-show-only-volumes-e1573725355168.jpg\" alt=\"macOs Catlina\" width=\"600\" height=\"354\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-6470\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Source: Apple Support<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Moreover, if the installed apps need to access your data, they\u2019ll need your permission before doing that.\u00a0macOS Catalina comes with <em>Activation Lock<\/em> feature which allows you to erase or reactivate your Mac system.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>8. Enhanced Voice Control <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are major improvements to Voice Control. With macOS Catalina, you can now select items, click on them, and drag them with your voice commands.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">macOS Catalina came up with some awesome features as discussed in this blog. Hence, upgrading would make your Mac much smarter than before. In this blog, we discussed all the new features in detail so as to help you make a decision about upgrading to macOS Catalina.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One of the key changes with macOS Catalina is that Mac Systems running this latest OS will now only support 64-bit software. Some of you may not like this change though Apple had been talking about the withdrawal of support for 32-bit applications for long. But to keep up with the advancements in technology, such changes are necessary.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Therefore, switching to 64-bit applications is the best choice for macOS Catalina users. For instance, Mac users who need to recover data frequently or even once can try out modern 64-bit data recovery apps such as Stellar Data Recovery for Mac. The software works flawlessly with macOS Catalina based systems and hence can save users from unnecessary hassle or threat of data loss.<\/p>\n<div class=\"top-of-page\"><a href=\"#top\">Back to Top<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>macOS Catalina is the latest OS on Mac, which is now more advanced and has additional features as compared to the last OS Mojave.
