It’s been over 10 years since Apple announced their Photo Booth software but the simple application remains on every Mac sold today. While it use to hold a prominent position in the dock, the Photo Booth application is now a few clicks a way. It’s installed by default on every OS version including MacOS Monterey.
If you can’t find Photo Booth right away when using a Mac, here are a few places that you can look to find it on your computer.
