Apple Seeds Third Beta of macOS Sonoma 14.1 to Developers

[Mac Hammer Fan]

Public Beta 3 seems to have solved some bugs.
e.g. mail closes no more the first time I open it after login.
The OS feels also snappier.

Those returned on beta 2

They were never there in the first place, except in the file system

If they allow you to favourite artists, then you can display your favourite artist's music, I'll come back to Apple Music.

As it stands with Apple music, if you want to add an artist's music to your library, you have to add each one of their albums which is tedious. Spotify allows you to favourite an artist, and their discography becomes instantly available in your library.

Spotify sounds horrible. Hope Apple doesn't do what you just described.

I keep seeing complaints that Bluetooth devices drop after a while and have to be reconnected. Anyone have experience with that and seeing any improvement with 14.1?

Additions we are waiting on include interactive Music widgets, iCloud Sync improvements, the option to use Stickers through the Tapback menu in Messages, Intelligent form detection and Enhanced AutoFill for PDF documents and forms, an option to complete words by pressing the space bar, collaborative playlists in the Music app, and a favorite songs playlist.

Actually, the option to complete words by pressing the spacebar is already functioning (sort of) in Mail and in select third-party apps.

It’s not reliable (sometimes the predictive text words do not appear at all, and sometimes they show up as drop-down auto-complete bubbles instead of inline text predictions). That said, you can see the groundwork is already laid out, and now the functionality needs to expanded system-wide and perfected.

Is the iCloud Drive sync issue still present in this beta version of macOS Sonoma? My iCloud Drive has been syncing since I upgraded macOS to Sonoma. It's very frustrating.

Adding Tapback shortcuts to the right-click menu in Messages is pretty great.

I agree! Really handy.
