Split Viewing capability
The El Capitan update has a few interesting improvements in its arsenal, and split viewing is a very expected, yet still interesting example. The El Capitan now features split viewing capability, wherein you’ll be able to use two apps simultaneously in one go and one screen, which is presented neatly side by side. This is a very interesting undertaking, though not exactly unexpected. It was only a matter of time, as to when this feature was to be implemented on a Mac.
A smarter Spotlight search
As a mac and windows user, i never actually gotten used to the spotlight search, quick search thing, i was always used to search for my long lost file by my lonesome, and was always very troublesome. However, when i heard this particular feature to be presented on the OS X El Capitan update, i found it quite an interesting improvement. It is said that the Spotlight search now enables you to use your own words to search for your mac files, which is quite revolutionary to say the least.
A simpler yet, more powerful Notes app
In the El Capitan update, the Notes app is expected to be more simpler, though should deliver more power. I don’t exactly know how this is gonna be made, but apparently, a few new add-ons will make sure of that. One of these is the ability to format your notes with titles, paragraph headings, bullets, numbers and checklists, as well as a feature to save heavy contents like pictures, videos, documents, PDF’s and web links, which is actually very interesting, since i really use the Notes app a lot, and a few improvements on the latter, would be pretty helpful to me.
Useful improvements in mail
The mailing system on mac will get a few utility-wise improvements, one in which is its ability to manage the inbox via trackpad, with swiping action implemented. Another of these very interesting improvements is the mail’s ability to provide automatic suggestions on contacts and events from your messages to simply assist you on keeping your contacts and calendar neat and tidy.
Maps, now feature Transit view
Now this is something of a life-saving improvement on the El Capitan update. Picture this, your stranded in a busy street, with only your mac in your arsenal. You’re not exactly familiar with the place, although you have internet access. You located yourself through the map, but trouble bends you more, your current whereabouts, you don’t know how to get back home. A few seconds have passed and with a saddened sigh, you hopelessly find your way back home. Wow, that was some shakespearian stuff right there, well if im not being clear here, then let me explain this in a more simpler way. The Transit view enables you to see close public transport lines and stations for specific cities, which can pretty much save you in dire situations. The Transit view also features trip researches, which can be shared to any of your iPhone or iPad, so you don’t have to always carry your big mac (no pun intended) all around.
