Last fall saw the release of the new Mac® computer operating system from Apple® called Sierra®. The new upgrade is packed with tons of innovative features that improve the efficiency of the system, making it more fun and easy to use. Below is an overview of some of the most exciting innovations.

Fun & Useful Features of the Sierra® OS for Mac Computers

1. Capture FaceTime® Moments

FaceTime® is a fantastic tool for staying in touch with friends and family. Some conversations bring funny memories you won’t want to soon forget. Now, you don’t have to thanks to the new screenshot function. With a simple click of a button, you can capture a live photo of the moment to preserve forever. Both participants will get a notification, so no sneakiness can take place.

2. Use Siri® as a DJ

Siri® just keeps getting better and better. With the new Mac computer OS update, the AI assistance can pump up the jams with just a simple question. If you’re a paid subscriber of Apple Music®, you can ask simple prompts such as, “Siri, play upbeat music,” or “Siri, play something mellow,” and the program will pick a selection of appropriate tunes.

3. Locate Photos of Friends & Family Quicker

Photos are much easier to navigate and find in the new OS update. A smart facial recognition system identifies your family, friends, acquaintances, and whoever else is in your photos. The information is readily available for quick and easy searches.

4. Silence the Web

Auto-playing videos and loud advertisements can diminish your internet browsing experience, but Sierra provides a peaceful solution. These nuisances are silenced automatically, providing a tranquil surfing experience. Individual sites can also be put on a whitelist in the settings to allow sound to play.

5. Smarter Email Searches

Email is easier to use than ever thanks to Sierra’s smarter search. As you sift through your messages, the program automatically analyzes them according to importance. When you use the search bar, a “Top Hits” section appears with the messages that are most likely to be of use.
