With macOS 13 Ventura, Apple performed a major overhaul to the System Preferences interface and changed its name to System Settings. The change was an attempt to better unify it more with the design of Settings in iOS, but it ended up creating consternation with users due to the illogical placement of some settings. Two years after the change, Apple is going to tweak the System Settings interface even further with macOS 15–hopefully for the better.
According to a report by AppleInsider, Apple will tweak System Settings so the settings in the left column are arranged “based on priority and overall importance.” In macOS 15, the first group of the System Settings list (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Network) will remain there, but the group that’s led by the General settings will now come after that first group. The Notification group of settings that currently occupies the second slot will be moved further down the list.
Other moves: Wallpaper and display-related settings won’t be stand-alone settings anymore and will be placed with other similar settings; the Privacy and Security pane will be moved to the group that is currently headed by Lock Screen; and Siri and Spotlight settings are moving to the section of the list with Internet Accounts and Game Center.
