As we get closer to the official version of macOS Monterey, a key 
feature has yet to be tested by a large audience. Universal Control 
wasn’t included in the beta versions, so you probably can’t access it 
on your Mac right now. But a developer found a solution. In this 
article, we will show you how to enable Universal Update on your beta 
of Monterey.
What is Universal Control?
Universal Controls lets you control Macs and iPads — or even multiple Macs 
— with a single mouse and keyboard. Why would you do that? People switch 
between devices and tasks more often than ever before. Studies show that 
an average user changes 6 timer tasks every 26 minutes. To maintain your 
productivity in these conditions, you need a sturdy workbench – and

Apple didn’t make Universal Controls available to Monterey beta testers, 
which is a shame because many people have installed the beta to try out 
this fascinating feature. Will Apple fix this? we are not sure. Attentive 
people noticed that Apple initially included news of Universal Con2trol 
working on beta 12.4 in the release notes, but then removed it.
We don’t know what happened there, but we’re happy to say a solution has 
been found! Now you can play Universal Control on Monterey.
Be careful, this is not the official method. A developer named Zhuowei Zhang 
suggested this and shared the file on Github. You need to edit some internal 
files on macOS for this to work, but it is very easy to do and has already 
worked for many people, so let us share the instructions on how to enable 
Universal Controls. I am happy:
• Download the file from Github and move it to 
/Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domains
• If you can’t transfer the file, you need to disable System Integrity 
Protection (SIP): Restart your Mac in recovery mode > Open Terminal > 
Run csrutil disable command
• Restart your Mac.
Universal Control should now work on your Mac – you can test it after 
restarting. To connect your iPad or second monitor via Universal Controls, go 
to System Preferences > Display.

Best Use Cases for Universal Controls
Universal Update can completely change the way you work, helping you get 
more done with less effort. Make sure you take the time to integrate it into 
your workflow, this can take some time. Here are some great ideas for using 
it•: Drag more files. You no longer need to sync your images via iCloud or 
AirDrop, just use your cursor to move everything you need from iPad to 
Mac or vice versa. Naturally, you’ll be doing more drag and drop than 
before, so it makes sense to install an app like Yoink to automate the flow. 
Or, just enjoy the journey.
• Move screen recordings from Mac to iPad. With apps like CleanShot X, you 
probably have a pretty advanced screenshot workflow – you can take 
scroll captures, record the screen, create GIFs, and more. Thanks to 
Universal Controls, you can now naturally transfer these screenshots 
across multiple devices.
• Unclutter your workspace. Universal Update makes sure you get more

screens to keep the essentials visible. For example, if you use some sort 
of Office Post-It or sidenotes like Office Note Space, put them on the 
screen you use for heavy research tasks. Keep the second screen clean 
for screen sharing and screenshot capture.
