That way, you can watch while surfing other websites or doing other work. On select websites, videos can be popped out of their in-line spaces and instead play in a small pop-out video window off to the side of the screen.
In our hands-on testing with the developer build, big emojis and invisible ink worked, while some of the other new text format features did not work yet.Ī small new feature, but a potentially very useful one. To use the new features, including invisible ink, which hides messages until you mouse over them, you'll need both the MacOS beta and the iOS 10 beta.
Messages on iOS is getting bigger emojis and more dramatic text, including messages that boom or shake, or ones written in "invisible ink," that reveals itself when you mouse over it.ĭo I really want bigger emojis on my desktop? Perhaps not, but Messages remains one of the smoothest phone-to-computer crossover messaging systems. There are plenty of ways to sync files between machines, but I liked how effortless this was, and especially how it gave me access to identical desktops (where I keep a lot of in-progress files) across different Macs. The documents folder, the other place you're likely to store important files, works similarly, but each machine gets a named folder within the documents folder on its sister machines. But, by checking off a new check box in the iCloud settings menu, files on the desktop or in the documents folders of multiple Macs can now be automatically synced.ĭrop a file or add a screenshot to the desktop of one MacOS system, and a few seconds later, it pops up on the other ones.

But, you can pin results, from sports scores to stock prices, to the notifications panel, and see them anytime. All the standard things - weather, news, local shops and landmarks - work as expected. You activate Siri through a keyboard command, currently Fn+Space, but that may change down the line, and simply speak your query. Yes, it's the same familiar Siri voice (depending on your region), and she does most of the same things as the iOS version.
