Universal Control is an unusual new feature in the world of iPadOS and macOS, in that it is almost invisible when activated.
But if you own a Mac and an iPad with the latest OS versions, you are in for a treat. The idea is simple - you can use a single Mac’s trackpad, keyboard and mouse between a Mac and an iPad and work seamlessly, and even copy content, between them. There’s also a related feature called Sidecar that we mention here that enables you to use an iPad as a second screen for a Mac.
