Apple Seeds First Beta of macOS Monterey 12.2 to Developers

[MacRumors]

Apple today seeded the first beta of an upcoming macOS Monterey 12.2 update to developers for testing purposes, with the new software coming shortly after the release of macOS Monterey 12.1.

Registered developers can download the beta through the Apple Developer Center and after the appropriate profile is installed, betas will be available through the Software Update mechanism in System Preferences.

We don't yet know what's included in macOS Monterey 12.2, but Apple has yet to implement a major feature -- Universal Control. Universal Control is designed to allow a single mouse and trackpad to be used with multiple Macs and iPads, and Apple has said it will be launching this spring.

We'll update this article when we find out what's new in macOS Monterey 12.2. Apple has also seeded a macOS Big Sur 11.6.3 beta for those who are still running Big Sur.

I hope they give option to remove the mic orange dot indicator from full screen!

Lets see if this has UC. If so, we're in for a long beta period until March.

 

[BWhaler]

Honestly, what we need is a massive bug fix.

 

[socialwill]

I am guessing that Universal Control will show up in 12.3 since they said spring of next year. 12.2 will have updates and fixes to the OS, nothing major, but just a guess.

Dude Safari has promotion in 12.1 - It's not always 120hz given apples proclivity towards battery preservation but it is there around 110hz. Go to low power mode and see.

Looks to me like they've not updated the page properly yet.

 

[Tranel]

I cannot see any issues with macOS 12.1. Works fine.

Some people request some weird options, like that lol

I mean honestly, is that REALLY small orange dot that big of an issue lol

Not sure why we get these same posts in every update thread when pro motion is already enabled on Safari as of 12.1

 

[MacHiavelli]

Agreed, but it made me smile.

 

[JFazYankees]

ProMotion is working in Safari for me after updating!

But no one helps any way?
I've complained
Ever since I upgraded to macOS 12 my docking station is not working (won't recognise any USB devices) and the same with USB hubs. Everything worked perfectly fine in Big Sur and still works perfectly on my Windows PCs.

 

[wwinter86]

I am mostly just hoping for memory leak fixes. Especially in Safari.
