Can I use M1 24inch iMac as second monitor for my Macbook 16

I want to use M1 24inch iMac as secondary display just like external monitors. Is there any way to do it?

Or does next MacOS Monterey Universal Control help to achieve this feature?

Sorry, but no. Only pre-2014 iMacs can support Target Display Mode.

That’s bad. It is a very helpful feature and Apple should support in new version as well. I can’t keep iMac and MacBook in sync so I should use it as a monitor
