It’s critical to keep your operating system and applications up to date. Turn on automatic updates for your operating system and App Store apps, and restart your computer frequently to allow other apps to check for updates.
Recommended versions of Apple operating systems:
macOS: Ventura 13.4
If your Mac supports it, you should be running macOS Ventura 13.4. If you have an older Mac, you should be running macOS Monterey 12.6.6, and Safari 16.5. If your Mac can’t run Monterey, you need to get a new Mac.
To see what version of macOS you have, click on the Apple menu and choose “About This Mac”.
