What’s New in the macOS Sonoma Public Beta: Exciting Features and Updates

Alongside the release of iOS 17 and iPadOS 17, Apple has also launched the Public Beta for macOS Sonoma. This update is available for all users to download and experience the new features and changes it brings to the Mac.

Some of the exciting updates included in this release are a new lock screen, widgets, FaceTime improvements, and more. Here is a list of devices compatible with macOS Sonoma:

• iMac: 2019 and later
• Mac Pro: 2019 and later
• iMac Pro: 2017
• Mac Studio: 2022 and later
• MacBook Air: 2018 and later

One of the standout features in this update is the introduction of widgets. Previously limited to the sidebar, users can now pull down widgets onto the desktop. Additionally, users can bring widgets from their iPhone and integrate them seamlessly into their desktop experience.

The Sonoma update also enhances video calls by introducing message animations such as confetti, hearts, and fireworks. It also includes a hand gesture feature that automatically selects an animation based on the gesture made by the user.

Safari has received an update as well, allowing users to create multiple profiles within the browser. This feature enables users to maintain a better work-life balance by segregating their work and personal browsing activities.

Another noteworthy addition is the Presenter Overly feature, which turns your presentation into a background resembling a virtual whiteboard. You can even turn your head into a bubble inset, giving your presentation full visibility on the screen.
