Apple postpones macOS Monterey universal control function until spring 2022
At WWDC, Apple demonstrated a new feature called Universal Control, which allows users to control multiple Macs and iPads at the same time using a mouse and keyboard/touchpad. When Apple launched macOS Monterey in October, Apple stated that this feature and SharePlay will be available on the Mac later in the fall, but the Universal Control function has not yet arrived after SharePlay has been on the Mac.
Apple has quietly updated its website support documents, and the company stated that Universal Control will not be available until the spring of 2022. This may be disappointing for users who hope to be able to use universal controls in the near future. Of course, it is better to take the time to ensure that this feature can be used steadily than if a problem occurs after the release that seriously affects the user experience.
After release, MacBook and MacBook Pro 2016 and later versions, 2019 Mac Pro, MacBook Air 2018 and later versions, iMac 2017 and later versions, 5K Retina 27-inch iMac, etc. can use this function. For iPad, it supports iPad Pro, iPad Air third-generation and later models, iPad sixth-generation and later models, iPad mini 5, and later models.
To use this function is also very simple, only need to log in the same Apple ID on the device, you can choose to use a USB data cable to connect the device or use a wireless network to connect, and it can be used within 10 meters.
