The feature is one of the most anticipated features of the new system as it allows users to use Mac keyboard and mouse on iPad by simply dragging windows between devices. In fact, the functionality does not need to be activated, just plug the devices into the same Apple ID and place them side by side.
Apple initially revealed that Universal Control would be released alongside macOS Monterey, but delayed it, saying the feature would be released until late fall. Since fall is coming to an end next week, it’s unlikely Apple would release the feature in the last few days of the scheduled date.
