hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and yesterday Apple released Mac OS Ventura 13 beta 4. also
today they released Mac OS Ventura 13 public beta 2 so both of those are available now if you're
a beta tester or developer this came in at 1.98 gigabytes on my MacBook Pro and was about the same
on all the devices I checked now along with this apple also released iOS 16 beta 4 iPad OS 16 beta
4 and both of those public betas released today as well TV OS 16 beta 4 and homepod Os 16 beta
4. so far there's no watch OS 9 beta 4. so we're still waiting for that but there is a simulator
in xcode 14 beta 4 so it's a bit surprising that the watch beta is not out now let's go ahead and
close this we'll talk about the build number and then check out what's new so we'll go to about
this Mac click on the Ventura 13 here as you can see there we go and it says 22A 5311f this is the
current build number of this update so that just lets you know which version you're on now as far
as what's new let's take a look at messages first so we'll go into messages and within messages if
I type this is a test message and then hit return or enter you can see it's there immediately now I
can undo send just like I could before but the limit is now restricted to two minutes instead
of 15. also if I want to edit this maybe say this is a test message for Mac OS Ventura beta
4 now it's edited it tells me it's edited and if I click on it we can see a change log from
when it was edited before and what it is now so this is actually visible to both the sender and
recipient so this is something some people don't like but they've actually changed it's a little
change but nothing huge but something that is just there to kind of keep accountability as to what
you said now if we go into mail Within male if we go under mail and then settings in our settings
if we click on composing just like on iOS 16 beta 4 we can now change the undo send delay
with the mail app we can now undo sent messages and now we can change it to 10 20 or 30 seconds
or turn it off completely so that's a little bit different the option was not there in beta
3. now if we go into Stage manager click on stage manager the first time you open it it will now say
stage manager arranges your recent windows into a single strip for reduced clutter and quick access
focus on one window at a time and create sets by mixing different apps to suit your workflow if we
click on maybe later this will pop up next time if we click enable it enables stage manager in this
update they've also updated continuity camera so if we open FaceTime my iPhone connects immediately
if we go up to our settings here click on settings we have our different effects center stage and so
on and if we click on desk view there's some new information so click on desk view give it a second
now it's telling us how to align everything use the Plus minus controls to align your desk to
the edge of the Box click Start desk view when ready so align the desk to the edge of the box
you'll see there we can align it that's sort of my desk we'll click Start desk View and now you
can see my keyboard of course we can zoom out a little bit more if we want to and you'll see my
desk so it's straightening everything with the neural engine and there's just a little tutorial
on how to use this a little bit better so that's really nice that they've updated it and give us
given us a little more information I'm always amazed at how quickly this connects and how well
it works now if we go into the home app they've updated that as well so we'll go into home this
is my office currently and in the upper right we now have settings where we didn't before on my
other Mac I don't have any settings so now we have home settings reorder sections home office and we
can switch so if I go to home settings and then we scroll down just like on iOS we now have two
new wallpaper for this as well so we have this sort of flower wallpaper for the background or
sort of an architectural Corner as well and then some additional grading audience so that's been
updated in this version as well as on iOS within settings there's a bunch of changes as well I'll
show you beta 3 on the left so you can compare and as you can see on the right is beta 4 and if we go
under privacy and security and then we go down to all the way down here to security you'll see
it says allow apps downloaded from the App Store App Store and identified developers so now these
are buttons instead of drop downs and then also we now have our extension information here saying
your current security settings prevent this the installation of system extensions we can enable
this where it wasn't showing in beta 3. if we go into screen time it's a little bit different the
switch to turn on screen time turn it on or off is at the top now instead of the bottom so just
a small change there then if we go into General and then we go to maybe our applications we'll
give it just a moment here to finish loading we click the I and now you can see the delete button
is no longer red this is a very minor change but something it's a little bit different if we click
on something to remove it's just typical black over white where before it was red over white
small change but something different also within settings if you go into game center for the first
time you'll have a new splash screen I wasn't able to duplicate this again and it actually was
a little bit buggy but you can see it says what's new in Game Center of course see all your friends
play activity and achievements we had a new splash screen on iOS as well now there's a ton of bug
fixes in this update also and if we go into Safari and take a look at the notes thankfully Apple
publishes these to everyone now and I'll leave a link to them in the description but you can see
over 45 different resolved issues so the first one here is for calendar where it says the enable this
account checkbox found in calendar preferences and accounts won't function for certain account
types such as iCloud or Google and this has been resolved same is true with the clock where
in the clock app you might not be able to type a digit into the timer hour minute or second fields
also if we continue down you'll see things such as kernel Management in mail they've fixed a
bunch of things map kit metal as well as metal offline compiler networking they've deprecated
some things here or one thing Safari they've resolved some issues where reording reordering
a shared tab Group by one user reorders that tab group for every user in the share now it doesn't
do that anymore so on and on there's a bunch of resolved issues so a ton just like iOS where iOS
had over 100 we have over 45 here there's still known issues in this update as well such as stage
manager as you can see here where it says with Stage manager active Windows continue as the key
window and receive key events when minimized so there's still known issues and there's no work
around for this so just be aware that there still could be some bugs from time to time
and that leads me to should you install this update well of course if you're on beta 3 or
public beta 1 absolutely install it and be sure to provide feedback in the feedback Hab however
if you're not on the betas yet and you're using a computer for production or anything else I would
hold off until a final release now as far as when to expect the next beta usually by the time we're
at beta 4 we're on a weekly cycle meaning that we should have one every single week until the final
release that's typically what Apple does but they can change this up from year to year so this week
we got beta 4 and public beta 2. next week we could have beta 5 and so on all the way until
September until we have a final release sometime in late September or early October depending on
the year along with iOS updates as well so beta 5 potentially next week if not next week it will be
the following week Apple has been a little bit different this year than they have been in the
past but either way I would expect that and we could even get a new Mac OS Monterey update in
between maybe a 12.6 or 12.5.1 or something along those lines so look forward to those
of course if those released they'll probably be just security updates and Bug fixes now if you
found anything else in Mac OS Ventura beta 4 or public beta 2. I'd love to hear from you in the
comments below and also let me know what Mac you're using I'd love to hear from you there
