Apple’s latest Developer Beta for MacOS and iPadOS finally shows up with Universal Control

The feature that Apple users have been waiting for since its demo, Universal Control, may finally be on its way to your compatible iPads and Mac devices. Universal Control, which Apple announced at WWDC 2021 in June, is an impressive-looking feature that lets you use Mac’s keyboard and mouse with an iPad just by placing the iPad next to the computer. Universal Control seems to have been more ambitious than Apple anticipated, however, since it already missed a fall release estimate, is now supposed to come out this spring and hadn’t even shown up in betas until Thursday.

Universal Control is enabled by default if the iPadOS 15.4 and macOS Monterey 12.3 betas are installed, and the publication also shared a screenshot showing that three options regarding Universal Control are marked with a beta tag.

Apple has not commented on this feature and it remains to be seen when this new build will be released to the public. The new build also brings new emojis and an unlock with mask on feature.
