Apple today seeded the fifth beta of its macOS Sonoma 14.4 update to developers and public beta users. The fifth beta comes one week after the release of the fourth beta.
The developer build of macOS Sonoma 14.4 can be downloaded by developers through the Apple Developer Center and once the correct profile is installed, succeeding betas will be available through the Software Update mechanism in System Preferences.
Public beta testers can download the macOS Sonoma 14.4 update from the Software Update section of the System Preferences app after signing up on Apple’s beta testing website and opting into the public beta under the Beta Updates section.
macOS Sonoma 14.4 includes some of the features introduced in the iOS 17.4 beta, including new emoji characters.
Apple has not officially announced what other new features are available in the new macOS Sonoma 14.4 beta. We’ll update this space when we hear of new features.
As usual, both MacTrast and Apple warn users to not install any betas on their daily driver Mac, instead only installing betas on devices set aside for testing purposes.
