Apple released iOS 14.5 and iPadOS 14.5 beta 7 earlier this week and now we have a new beta of macOS, macOS Big Sur 11.3 beta 7.
The new beta of macOS Big Sur 11.3 has been released to developers and it brings a range of new features to Apple’s Mac line up.
New Features in macOS Big Sur 11.3 Beta 7
This update brings some changes to Safari including the ability to customize a number of things including Siri suggestions, Privacy Report, and more. Users can now personalize their Safari start page with background images and sections like Reading List and iCloud Tabs. This makes the browsing experience more tailored to individual preferences.
There is also support for the PlayStation 5 DualSense and Xbox Series X/S controllers for gaming on the Mac. This is a significant update for gamers who use their Macs for playing games, as it allows for a more seamless and enjoyable gaming experience with the latest controllers. Additionally, macOS Big Sur 11.3 includes new features for Apple Music, such as autoplay, which continues to play music after a playlist or album ends, and a new Made For You library shortcut to find personal mixes and replay playlists.
Enhancements to Built-in Apps
The Reminders app has also seen some changes, including the ability to sort by title, due date, priority, or creation date. This makes it easier for users to organize their tasks and stay on top of their to-do lists. Furthermore, users can now print their reminder lists, which can be handy for those who prefer a physical copy.
Another notable update is the improved support for iOS and iPadOS apps running on M1 Macs. Users can now resize the window of these apps and use keyboard shortcuts, making the experience more akin to using native macOS applications. This enhancement bridges the gap between macOS and iOS/iPadOS, providing a more unified ecosystem.
The macOS Big Sur 11.3 beta 7 also includes various bug fixes and performance improvements, ensuring a smoother and more stable user experience. For instance, issues with AirPods automatic switching and the Touch ID feature have been addressed, enhancing the overall functionality of these features.
We are expecting the macOS Big Sur 11.3 beta 7 software to be released sometime this month along with iOS 14.5 and iPadOS 14.5. There is the possibility that the software may be released sometime next week. As soon as we get some more details, we will let you know.
