Apple has released the first beta version of MacOS Sonoma, or MacOS 14, to users participating in the developer beta testing program.
While the first developer betas are available only to registered Apple developers, a public beta will be made available to anyone interested in July.
MacOS Sonoma includes new features for the Mac, including new screen savers, the re-introduction of widgets, improvements to Messages, Safari browsing profiles, FaceTime video messages, and more.
