How to Update Safari without macOS Upgrade

You might want to use the latest version of Safari while keeping the same macOS version.

This is understandable, as web apps these days update very quickly, and some features are only available in the latest versions of web browsers.

Normally, you can only update Safari by upgrading the entire macOS. However, it is still possible to update Safari without a full macOS upgrade.

The option to update Safari is somewhat hidden, but don’t worry! By following this guide, you’ll be able to find and install the update.

Solution

1. Open System Settings, click on General, and then click Software Update.
2. If a new Safari update is available, you will see a section called Also Available.
3. In that section, click on the More Info… link.
4. A window titled Available Updates will appear.
5. Select Safari (or other updates as needed), then click the Update Now button.
6. Wait for the download and installation to complete.
