what version of Safari is running on macOS Big Sur 11.7.10?

I currently have Big Sur v.11.5 on my 2020 macBook Air and have started having issues with my version of Safari (v.14.1.2) and would like to update Safari.

Software update on my macBook offers an macOS update to Big Sur v.11.7.10 (as well as an update to Sonoma 14.4.1).

I’m not ready to try updating all the way to Sonoma, so I was hoping Big Sur 11.7.10 would be an easier update and include an update from my current Safari v.14.1.2.

Thank you.

Big Sur 11.7.10 includes Safari 16.6.1.

Personally, I would upgrade to Sonoma but you could also upgrade to Monterey or Ventura.

Monterey, Ventura and Sonoma all include the latest version of Safari, 17.4.1.

To upgrade, have a current backup (a good idea even when not upgrading) and see:

Thank you. I’m a bit nervous about updating all the way to Sonoma 14.1.2 from Big Sur 11.5. Is that typically the best way to do it, rather than updating a little at a time?

I’m afraid something will stop working.

I normally update/upgrade as soon as the new version is available but you shouldn't have any issue updating directly to Sonoma. As stated in my previous reply you can also upgrade to Monterey or Ventura.

Either way you choose to do it, you should have a backup first (a good idea at all times).
