There are also updates to Animojis, notifications, and Activity Reports for a digital detox.

macOS Mojave is the next-generation software for Mac computers, and will come with a dark theme. Quick Look, improved screenshots with screen capture in the screenshot tool, and Continuity Camera, are some of the other new features in macOS Mojave. The update will also bring the Apple News, Stocks, Voice Memos, and Home apps to the desktop. Camera and microphone of the computer will get better privacy for all apps on Macs now, and users will get more control on their privacy while browsing in Safari too.
