Method 1: By Clicking on Wallpaper

With macOS Sonoma, Apple has introduced an easy way to go to the desktop.

Minimize all windows mac

All you need to do is click on any part of your MacBook’s wallpaper to show the desktop. Click again on the wallpaper to hide the desktop and reveal the open apps.

This method has been tested on macOS Sonoma and works perfectly fine from any app and in Stage Manager as well.

If clicking the wallpaper doesn’t reveal the desktop, go to System Settings > Desktop & Dock > Look for the Click wallpaper to reveal the desktop option > Click on Only in Stage Manager next to it and then select Always.

If you prefer keyboard shortcuts, macOS has two shortcuts to show the desktop. Press Fn + F11 or simply F11 to reveal the desktop. Alternatively, use the Command + F3 (Mission Control) keyboard shortcut to go to the desktop on your MacBook.

If themacOS shortcut to show the desktop isn’t working, go to System Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts.
