New features and changes[edit | edit source]

Safari[edit | edit source]

  • The refresh button in the search button has been returned from MacOS Big Sur.
  • Tabs are now displayed below the search bar, instead of next from the search bar, from the visual design similar to MacOS Big Sur.
  • To revert the new visual design from Monterey, there's a new option in the Safari Preferences to disable seperated tabs.
  • Share and reload options were reverted back in this beta, after being absent from macOS Monterey build 21A5248p.

System Preferences[edit | edit source]

  • A new option has been implemented in Display > Advanced... named "Allow your cursor and keyboard to move between any nearby Mac or iPad". This feature enables Universal Control.
  • A new option has been implemented in the same page such as the ability to push the display through the edge to connect from an iPad or Mac. This option doesn't work at all as it's not finished yet.

Other[edit | edit source]

  • Added SharePlay.
