Safari’s getting a few new tricks in Monterey to make browsing the web safer and more organized. While your iMac won’t use the new Low Power Mode, your Mac laptop might rely on it in a pinch, especially if you’re in a place where USB-C connectors (or dongles) might be scarce. It works by reducing your Mac’s processor speed and lowering screen brightness to prolong battery life. But with Monterey, you can play the battery odds on your portable Mac as well. You’ve probably used Low Power mode on your iPhone for years, when you need to squeeze a few more minutes out of a rapidly draining battery. Smart volume management means no one gets drowned out over the noise, and support for multiple devices means you can have a FaceTime call going happening on your iPhone while you watch synced content on your Apple TV or HomePod. SharePlay lets you synchronize content with your FaceTime participants, so you’re all at the same place in every video, song,or playlist. FaceTime on Mac is getting some upgrades that mirror those on the new iOS 15, including the group-friendly SharePlay.
