First Public Beta of macOS Sonoma 14.4 Now Available

Apple today seeded the first public beta of its macOS Sonoma 14.4 update. The new public beta comes two days after the release of the developer beta seed.

Public beta testers can download the macOS Sonoma 14.4 update from the Software Update section of the System Preferences app after signing up on Apple’s beta testing website and opting into the public beta under the Beta Updates section.

macOS Sonoma‌ 14.4 includes some of the features introduced in the iOS 17.4 beta, including new emoji characters.

Apple has not officially announced what other new features are available in the new macOS Sonoma 14.4 beta. We’ll update this space when we hear of new features.

As usual, MacTrast and Apple both warn users to not install any betas on their daily driver Mac, instead only installing betas on devices set aside for testing purposes.
