Checking applications on MacBook for 32-bit or 64-bit will inform you about which applications on your MacBook only support up to 32-bit or, at least, are currently using only 32-bit. On MacBook, no additional software is needed as you can perform this task right on your MacBook itself.
Checking Mac 32-bit applications has been announced long before, when Apple declared that MacOS High Sierra would no longer support 32-bit apps. Therefore, users should check Mac 32-bit applications immediately. Apple's intention is to provide the best MacBook experience for users and compel developers to upgrade their applications to 64-bit if they want to run on MacOS High Sierra. A 64-bit application will bring many benefits to users in terms of smoothness and performance.
How to check if an application on MacBook is 32-bit or 64-bit
Step 1: To check if an application on MacBook is 32-bit or 64-bit, first, click on the About This Mac section in the menu bar.
Step 2: In the displayed system information, continue to click on System Report. This section will show detailed information about components in the system, including applications.
Step 3: Here, you just need to find the Software section > then select Applications and find any random application. Pay attention to the 64-Bit (intel) line. If the application displays Yes as shown below, it means it is a 64-bit application and can run on MacOS High Sierra without any issues.
If the 64-Bit (intel) section below displays No, it means your version does not support 64-bit or this application does not support 64-bit, and you won't be able to run it on MacOS High Sierra.
Intentionally running it will result in an error message 'App' is not optimized for your Mac, as shown in the first image. And this is how to check if an application on MacBook is 32-bit or 64-bit.
