Apple today released the seventh beta of macOS Sequoia 15.1 to developers to allow them to continue testing Apple Intelligence features. The new beta seeds come one week after the release of the sixth beta.
The developer build of macOS Sequoia 15.1 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. Apple Intelligence features are available only on Macs powered by an M1 chip or higher.
While some Apple Intelligence features won’t be available until later this year or early next year, several features are available as of today, including Writing Tools, Siri’s revamped design, the option to move between voice commands and typing to Siri, summaries for transcripts and other content, the new Mail categories and smart replies, smart replies in Messages, and more.
Features that are not available today include Image Playground, Genmoji, ChatGPT integration, the option to erase objects in Photos, Priority Notifications, and other Siri capabilities like the ability to do more in apps and on-screen awareness.
Apple Intelligence will be available to the public later in October after developers have thoroughly tested it.
As usual, MacTrast and Apple both warn users to not install any betas on their daily driver Mac. Instead, only install betas on a device set aside for testing purposes.
