MacBook Pro Owners Noticing Smoother ProMotion Safari Scrolling After Installing macOS Monterey 12.2

[MacRumors]

A number of 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pro owners that have a machine with ProMotion support are reporting seeing smoother Safari scrolling and performance since installing the macOS 12.2 beta, suggesting ProMotion support is finally working as intended.

After upgrading, multiple MacRumors forum members have said that ProMotion is functional and has improved the Safari experience on their machines.

Since the mini-LED MacBook Pro models launched in October, there have been complaints about Safari scrolling and a lack of ProMotion support. ProMotion has been working and functional for some apps on the Mac, but not others, and Safari is one of those apps where it was not working as expected.

MacBook Pro owners who have noticed the lack of ProMotion will be able to get smoother, more fluid Safari scrolling experience when upgrading to macOS Monterey 12.2. The update is available to developers at the current time, and a public beta will likely be released in the near future.

As the beta just came out today, it will be a few weeks at least before the software update sees a public launch.

Thank you I’ve been saying for weeks it’s not there and 12.1 didn’t bring it and many people have said it was there when it wasn’t and I was right, can’t wait to try 12.2 I’ll report back if it has been fixed

It was enabled in 12.1 so you were wrong. They just further optimized it in 12.2 to make it even smoother as it is on the iphone/ipad.

Well it eaither works or it doesn’t, and with 12.1 it didn’t work it was not smooth which pro motion is all about so I was right, there’s no in between either it’s smooth or it’s not

Well, the world is falling apart, but at least this is finally fixed.

 

[ipacers]

Anyone test this out with a non-M1 Mac connected to an external 120Hz display?

 

[AnaphaseAway]

it seems smooth enough on 12.1 rn. can't wait for the public stable release in the spring!

 

[beach bum]

This will be a much needed update.

 

[Realityck]

Awesome, will check out what’s apps offer smoothing working better.

Thank goodness! We need this update. Let’s go!!!

Craig Federighi may have listened to me and working on it based on the email I sent him on November 3rd. Over a month ago.

 

[Kylo83]

Thank goodness! We need this update. Let’s go!!!

I’ll confirm it properly tomorrow

 

[Scotticus]

How was it not working correctly on such a major, first-party app? I don't understand how these flush-with-cash companies manage to mess up things like this.

That’s amazing yeah I was so vocal about it and I got so much hate for it but hopefully it worked

It was worth the wait. Pretty sure Craig decided to run an extra mile at the Apple Campus to address it. A month later we are getting an update

I love Apple!

😌😌

I have they release safari 15.3 before they release 12.2 I don’t like running betas on my main work machine but I don’t wanna wait months to get it

 

[adamjackson]

I'm glad the machine I ordered in November is taking 63 days to ship (should be here 1st week of January). Apple's delays in shipping means I'll get a more reliable machine when I do get it.

 

[Return Zero]

Safari is literally snappier?

 

[antiprotest]

Wait, Apple actually fixed something?

 

[nezr]

Smoother and snappier

 

[quietstormSD]

For once after an update the comment, "Safari seems a lot snappier" isn't a sarcastic comment!

 

[Shirasaki]

Safari better scrolling is all good and dandy, but can apple add a feature to warn people when closing multiple tabs? Another feature competing browser has and safari is missing. I would argue smoother scrolling shouldn’t be something higher priority than that.

 

[jmccamb]

So one might say it feels snappier? ?
