How to install the May 4 update to Safari 14.1?

Updates MacOS Catalina in April, which included the first Safari 14.1 update.

You need to update form System Preferences : Software Update

1) Check the date of the Safari app in Finder Applications. If it is PRIOR to May 4 or 5th 2021 you need to update.

2) Go to System Preferences: Software Update and check for any updates. NOTE if you are NOT on Big Sur you do not need to upgrade to Big Sur. Look for updates for your OS. There is a link below the Big Sur update icon and link.


I have tested the latest version 14.1 (15611.1.21.161.7, 15611)app dated May 5 2021 and it solved the issues I ( and many others ) were having with Safari 14.1.


I hope this helps
