MACUSER 7 NEW CATALINA FEATURESthat Apple has included new features that
make it easier to browse your images.
A new Photos tab in the app has the
ability to organize your picture based on
Days, Months, and Years. Photos can also
determine the best shots in your collection
and showcase those images for your
perusal. There’s also an All Photos view so
you can see your whole collection, and the
app is smart enough to keep your place in
the collection when you switch views.
- SET UP SCREEN TIME
The Screen Time app made its debut in
iOS 12 (go.macworld.com/is12), and now
it’s in macOS Catalina. This usage-
management feature can be used to set
limits and restrictions on users. For
example, parents can set limits on what
their kids can do on the Mac. You can
control access to certain apps and
websites, and create reports on user
usage. And if you have Family Sharing
set up, you can use you iPhone, iPad, or
Mac to configure Screen Time for all
your devices.
You can configure Screen Time in the
System Preferences. A future update
(Apple says it’s coming “later this fall”) will
allow for restrictions on who someone can
communicate with on FaceTime and
Messages.- TRY THE FIND MY APP
The Find My app is like the same app on
iOS 13. It’s an app that tracks your iPhones,
iPads, and Macs, and other Apple
devices so you can find them if they
are misplaced. If you turn on the
option to Enable Offline Finding, you
can find lost devices that aren’t
connected to the internet.
Find My also incorporates the Find
My Friends functionality from the iOS
app. It can tell you the location of
friends and family who have given
you permission to track them.
7. VOICE CONTROL IN THE

Catalina are ones you can get working
