A new Dark Mode operating system is coming to Mac, turning all windows black and bringing with it some significant privacy updates to macOS’ latest update. A new feature on Safari blocks tracking sites (Facebook’s Like and Comment feature) and prompts you when you’re browsing a website with the feature, the Verge reported. Also new on Mac: a designed App Store, plus new Office 365, Lightroom CC and BBEdit.

CarPlay users will finally be able to use Google Maps and Waze.

One major complaint from CarPlay users is that the service only offers Apple Maps’ navigation app. No more, developers said Monday. With the new iOS 12 update, CarPlay is expanding to the other two popular options. For those new to CarPlay, the software turns your car’s dashboard display into an iPhone-like screen compatible with many iOS apps, calls and texts and more.
