Keep macOS and Your Apps Updated

macOS updates aren’t just about new features and emojis. Apple regularly improves power management and performance, and fixes bugs that can affect both software and hardware. The same goes for third-party apps.

Most of us ignore updates as much as possible, but the truth is you might actually be wasting battery life when a fix is just a click away.

To update macOS on your Mac, simply go to System Settings > General > Software Update and install any available updates. You can also turn on Automatic Updates so your MacBook handles the dull stuff.

To update apps, go to the App Store, click Updates on the left sidebar, and update all the apps that you can.
