Automatic Windows Tiling in macOS Sequoia

You can invoke the new Windows Tiling feature in various ways and it comes with several keyboard shortcuts as well. Apple’s macOS Sequoia will automatically suggest options for rearranging windows. You can arrange tiles side by side or even place them in corners to accommodate even more apps in view. Here are all the steps to use the Windows Tiling feature in macOS Sequoia:

This way, you can arrange two app windows side by side or keep several apps in view at once on your Mac. After using auto tiling, if you manually move a window, it will return to its original size.

It’s worth knowing that some apps by design can’t be reduced beyond a certain size. Therefore, you might end up with tiled windows falling off the screen or overlapping each other. If the automatic tiling system leaves some gaps between windows, you can go toSystem Settings -> Desktop and Dock, then scroll down and turn off the“Tiled windows have margins”option under theWindowssection. This will reduce the gap between the windows.

Since we are still at beta 2, the automatic windows tiling works right now, but there are some slight delays, and the windows aren’t displayed properly in the quarter layout. That said, they work properly when placed side by side.

Of course, Apple will make some refinements and all the features will hopefully work properly when the stable version of macOS Sequia arrives later this year.
