Siri, Universal Clipboard, Auto Unlock with Apple Watch—these are just three of the features that Apple showcases for macOS Sierra, the latest version of the company’s Macintosh operating system that made its debut recently.
We go over the marquee features in our review, but there are a few features that go unheralded. We’ll shine a little bit of the spotlight on them in this slideshow. These are less glamourous, but they make your Mac a lot easier to use.
MESSAGES: PER-CONVERSATION READ RECEIPTS
Instead of having Messages send a read receipt for every conversation, you can do it on a per conversation basis. During a chat session, click on the Details link at the top right of the window. You’ll see information on your chat partner, and below you will find a checkbox for “Send Read Receipts.” Check the box to activate.
APPLE MAIL: QUICK FILTER
In your Apple Mail inbox, you’ll see a new icon of a circle with an upside-down triangle of lines. Click on it and “Filtered by” will appear it will filter your email based on what the blue text says. Click on the blue text to adjust the filter.
Reader @dogolaca (twitter.com/dogolaca) points out that the quick filter will not appear if you are using classic view. To turn off classic view, go to Mail → Preferences → Viewing and then uncheck the box for “Use classic layout.”
