Since its launch, Screens Connect 4 has helped countless individuals and businesses access their Macs from anywhere. However, as technology evolves, so must we.
Screens Connect 4 has officially been deprecated, and we’re here to guide you through what this means and how you can seamlessly transition to newer solutions.
Why Screens Connect 4 Was Deprecated
Screens Connect 4 was built to support an older generation of macOS systems. However, with macOS updates and advances in security and networking technology, maintaining compatibility for legacy software has become increasingly challenging. Deprecating Screens Connect 4 allows us to focus our resources on improving Screens Connect 5, ensuring a more robust and secure experience for all users.
Upgrade to Screens Connect 5
For users running macOS 10.13 or later, we strongly recommend updating to Screens Connect 5.
Screens Connect 5 offers:
- Full compatibility with both Screens 4 and Screens 5.
- Improved stability and performance.
- Enhanced security.
Upgrading is simple, and once installed, you’ll enjoy a more reliable remote access experience.
For Macs Running Older Versions of macOS
If your Mac is running an operating system older than macOS 10.13, Screens Connect 4 will no longer function. While this may seem like a challenge, there are alternative methods to ensure your Mac remains remotely accessible.
