Part of me thinks Apple spent some time removing CSAM code from Monterey so researchers couldn’t extract the model, and make Apple look like fools again with colored animal pictures triggering false hits.
Got a tip for us?

If apple was courageous enough to load RC build of iOS 15 onto first batch of iPhone 13, they probably will do the same for Monterey on new MacBook Pro. Can’t wait to see some deal-breaking bugs out of those new MacBook Pro.

Apple today seeded the ninth developer beta of macOS Monterey, the newest version of the macOS operating system. The ninth beta comes one week after Apple released the eighth macOS Monterey beta.

Registered developers can download the beta through the Apple Developer Center and once the appropriate profile is installed, betas will be available through the Software Update mechanism in System Preferences.
macOS Monterey will bring Universal Control, a feature that lets a single mouse, trackpad, and keyboard be used across multiple Mac or iPad devices, plus there's a new AirPlay to Mac feature. Safari has been redesigned with a new tab bar with a toggle for two different designs and support for Tab Groups, and FaceTime has gained spatial audio, a Portrait Mode on M1 Macs, and Voice Isolation for cutting out background noise. There's also a new SharePlay FaceTime feature that lets Apple users watch TV, listen to music, and share their screens with one another.
Shared With You, a separate feature, keeps track of the music, links, podcasts, news, and photos that people are sent in Messages, highlighting it in the relevant apps. Notes has a new Quick Note feature for jotting down thoughts, and collaboration is easier with mentions and an Activity View.
The Shortcuts app from iOS is now available on the Mac, and Focus helps people stay on task by cutting out background distractions. There's an updated Maps app with a whole slew of new features, and with Live Text, Macs can now detect text in photos or provide details on animals, art, landmarks, plants, and more in images.
Mail Privacy Protection hides IP and prevents tracking through invisible pixels, and iCloud Private Relay keeps Safari browsing protected. There are many other new features in macOS Monterey, with a full rundown available in our macOS Monterey roundup.

i will wait for Monterrey .2
Don't fret too much about the time lag between released developer/public betas. In-house, they work with daily builds.
I installed the first beta but none since as I'm waiting on the point one release.Are you really a beta tester, or just playing with the new shiny?
Assuming the PB is released later today, would people say this latest release is OK to update to? I'm still on PB7 as I read about the external monitor issue which would have killed me.
I say this every year but I'm 100% coming off the beta program when this is fully released. Haha.

Sure you are, until you get the itch again. I can say I completely skipped Catalina and Big Sur and wish I hadn't update High Sierra to Mojave. But I like Monterey.
It seems to be running well on my MacBook Pro and Mac mini. Not noticing any glaring issues.
Small pool of beta testers? There's a million people running the public beta. If anything, Apple is swamped by the noise of hundreds of thousands of bug reports.
Sadly, unlock macOS with AW stopped working in beta 9. Was working in beta 8

Thx for build Number! ?
I think we are really close to a RC, because the build Number now ends on a letter at the beginning of the Alphabet (b), soon there will be a build ending on "a" and a RC. At least i presume.
Is that even a saying? I've never heard that before. It doesn't even mean anything.
All of a sudden I'm getting WindowServer crashes every time I boot my 2019 MacBook Pro up. Also auto login no longer works. Ugh!
All Safari iCloud sync seems to be gone now: tabs, bookmark syncing, etc. Don't know if it's a Monterey issue or an iOS 15.1 issue. Safari in Monterey doesn't even have an iCloud tabs toggle in its Start Page menu anymore.
