    Fact: Apple has delayed introducing this macOS Monterey feature several times already. Although Universal Control was highlighted during the WWDC 21 keynote, it was initially delayed for a late fall release alongside SharePlay.

    However, SharePlay is included in macOS 12.1, while Universal Control has missed the boat again and is now due for spring 2022!
