has reimagined the way we use tabs, with a
tab bar that takes on the color of a web page
and combines the tabs on the same line as the

tips, and saving tabs you use every day for
productivity, like Gmail, Slack, and YouTube. The

they sync across macOS, iOS, and iPadOS, so you
can continue to work, research, or play wherever
you are, on whatever device you’re on.
For the irst time, Apple has ported its popular

Users will be able to automate tasks that they
need to complete, automatically sharing iles,

power users can use the Shortcuts Editor on
Mac to create their custom shortcuts for all of
their favorite apps. Apple says that the previous
iteration of Shortcuts, Automator, won’t be
discontinued just yet, but users can easily import
existing Automator worklows into Shortcuts
and be up and running right away.
