This was fixed in the Security Update 2017-001 macOS High Sierra v10.13.1. MacOS High Sierra 10.13.0 and 10.13.1 have a critical vulnerability that allowed an attacker to become a root user by not entering the password. Reception of macOS High Sierra was reportedly positive.

In order to use the feature, the user has to enable two-factor authentication for their Apple ID. When messages are deleted they are deleted on each device as well, and messages stored in the cloud do not take up local storage on the device anymore. This feature allows messages to sync across all devices using the same iCloud account. The release of macOS High Sierra 10.13.5 (and iOS 11.4) introduced support for Messages in iCloud.

Siri synchronizes information across iOS and Mac devices so the Siri experience is the same regardless of the product being used. It also uses machine learning to understand the user better. Siri now uses a more natural and expressive voice. A note can be pinned to the top of the list. The Notes app allows the user to add tables to a note. The "Reader Mode" can be set to always-on. Safari can also block autoplaying videos from playing. Safari has a new "Intelligent Tracking Prevention" feature that uses machine learning to block third parties from tracking the user's actions. Mail also uses 35% less storage space due to optimizations, and Mail's compose window can now be used in split-screen mode. Mail has improved Spotlight search with Top Hits. Photos synchronizes tagged People with iOS 11. MacOS High Sierra gives Photos an updated sidebar and new editing tools. Starting with 10.13.4, when a 32-bit app is opened, users get a one-time warning about its future incompatibility with the macOS operating system. The update discontinued support for external graphics processors in 2015 or older Macs, equipped with Thunderbolt 1 and 2 ports. The 10.13.4 update added support for external graphics processors for Macs equipped with Thunderbolt 3 ports. The ability to lock screen using a menu bar shortcut activated in Keychain Access preferences has now been removed.

The screen can now be locked using the shortcut Cmd+Ctrl+Q. The FTP and telnet command line programs were removed. The time service ntpd was replaced with timed for the time synchronisation. The Low Battery notification and its icon were replaced by a flatter modern look. Kernel extensions ("kexts") will require explicit approval by the user before being able to run. In addition, audio codecs FLAC and Opus are also supported, but not in iTunes. However, whenever an Intel IGP is present, the frameworks will only direct requests to Intel IGP.

Macs with the Intel Kaby Lake processor offer hardware support for Main 10 profile 10-bit hardware decoding, those with the Intel Skylake processor support Main profile 8-bit hardware decoding, and those with AMD Radeon 400 series graphics also support full HEVC decoding. MacOS High Sierra adds support for High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), with hardware acceleration where available, as well as support for High Efficiency Image File Format (HEIF). The system's windowing system, Quartz Compositor, supports Metal 2. It includes virtual-reality and machine-learning features, as well as support for external GPUs. Metal, Apple's low-level graphics API, has been updated to Metal 2. It also has built‑in encryption, crash‑safe protections, and simplified data backup on the go. It supports 64‑bit inode numbers, is designed for flash memory, and is designed to speed up common tasks like duplicating a file and finding the size of a folder's contents.
