New macOS Sequoia beta software update now available to everyone
Apple introduced macOS Sequoia at WWDC24 in June with a wide variety of new features that take the Mac operating system to the next level. While we wait for the long-awaited arrival of Apple Intelligence on iPhone, iPad and Mac, Apple’s software engineers continue to introduce more and more changes in their beta software updates.
A beta update is basically an update in a testing state. Big tech companies use this testing process to polish errors and finalize all the details of their operating systems thanks to user reports. And now, after several updates from the developer beta phase… now macOS Sequoia public beta update is now available for download.
Last month we informed you about how to install the macOS Sequoia beta update and today we will do the same with the public beta of the Mac operating system. Pay attention because below we explain How to install the macOS Sequoia public beta on your Mac.
How to install the macOS Sequoia beta
Downloading and installing the macOS Sequoia public beta update is really easy. In fact, the process is automatic. Just set up beta software updates to be enabled from your computer and let the process run its course.
