Apple released the final version of macOS 10.12.1 today, its first update to Sierra since the operating system was released last month. The list of fixes isn't as long as the one that accompanies iOS 10.1, but it ought to fix some of the new operating system's most pressing issues. The release notes are below:
- Adds an automatic smart album in Photos for Depth Effect images taken on iPhone 7 Plus
- Improves the compatibility of Microsoft Office when using iCloud Desktop and Documents
- Fixes an issue that may prevent Mail from updating when using a Microsoft Exchange account
- Fixes an issue that caused text to sometimes paste incorrectly when using Universal Clipboard
- Improves reliability of Auto Unlock with Apple Watch
- Improves security and stability in Safari
The update has been released ahead of a Mac-centric product event that Apple is hosting later this week. The company is widely expected to provide long-anticipated updates to the MacBook Pro and other Mac models.
The macOS Sierra 10.12.1 update can be downloaded through the Updates tab in the Mac App Store, and it should soon become available on Apple's downloads page. New downloads of the Sierra installer should automatically include the 10.12.1 update, if you're the kind of person who likes to wait for the first patch or two to come out before updating your Macs.
