Safari picks up the ability to share groups of tabs with other users, letting all users add and remove tabs.  The browser is also adding a FIDO-compliant security technology called PassKeys, which aim to replace passwords with cryptographically generated keys that sync between devices using iCloud Keychain.  Sites that support PassKeys can be opened using TouchID or FaceID.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad_wrapper\" aria-label=\"In Content advertisement\">\n    <span class=\"ad_notice\">Advertisement <\/span>    <\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<figure class=\"image shortcode-img full-width\" style=\"width:980px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Continuity Camera lets you use an iPhone as a high-quality Mac webcam.\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Screen-Shot-2022-06-06-at-2.27.57-PM-980x537.jpeg?resize=980%2C537&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"980\" height=\"537\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption class=\"caption\">\n<div class=\"caption-text\">Enlarge <span class=\"sep\">\/<\/span> Continuity Camera lets you use an iPhone as a high-quality Mac webcam.<\/div>\n<p>Apple<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Apple&#8217;s cross-device Continuity features were also updated.

Continuity Camera supports Center Stage and Portrait Mode effects, too, though presumably they will require newer iPhones with hardware that supports those features.<\/p>\n<p>Other features include a redesigned System Preferences app, now called Settings, that brings it more in line with the Settings app in iOS and iPadOS.
