Widgets and notifications are shown over apps, and you can scroll vertically through them. Notification Center has been integrated with the widget panel, but for some unknown reason you can’t access it with gestures on the trackpad - I hope that’s just a bug. With macOS Big Sur, widgets are accessible by clicking on the time in the Menu Bar where the Notification Center button was previously located. That’s because you can’t fix these widgets on your home screen or Desktop. The new widgets experience on macOS Big Sur is similar to what iPadOS 14 offers. The opposite is also possible, with a new option to hide items from the Menu Bar, making them available only in Control Center. What’s also great about Control Center on macOS is that users can drag controls to the Menu Bar, making them even easier to access. And finally, with the new AirDrop menu, you no longer have to open Finder to change discovery preferences. The Bluetooth menu can now show the battery level of connected accessories, in addition to icons for Apple’s accessories like AirPods, Magic Mouse, and Magic Keyboard. When you click on a specific area such as sound settings, Control Center shows more related options - in this case, sound output devices available.
Some of these options were already available in the macOS Menu Bar before, but there are new features in the Control Center as well.įor instance, you can change the brightness of the backlit keyboard, Do Not Disturb, Dark Mode, Night Shift, AirDrop, and there’s even Now Playing controls. Instead of accessing it with a swipe, Control Center on the Mac can be opened by clicking on a new button in the Menu Bar.įrom there, users can access network settings, brightness adjustments, AirPlay, and more.
