How To Update Safari On Mac

In comparison to other apps, updating the Safari browser on Mac is a little tricky. Read on to learn how to install the update and why you need to do it.

Why do I need to update Safari in macOS?

Safari doesn’t receive as frequent updates as other browsers. Moreover, Apple releases updates for Safari alongside major macOS releases.

Additionally, an older version of Safari may not be fully compatible with the latest macOS and could potentially become a slowpoke. Keeping the Safari browser updated means access to the latest features and protection against new security threats.
