macOS Sequoia Beta 2 Released Along With New Betas for tvOS 18, watchOS 11

macOS Sequoia Beta 2 began rolling out Monday, two weeks after the company unveiled the next-generation of operating system updates for its devices. The second macOS Sequoia beta adds support for iPhone Mirroring, a feature that expands on the company’s Continuity features by allowing users to view and control the apps and functions on their iPhone from their Mac computer. The company also rolled out the second betas of iOS 18, tvOS 18, visionOS 2 and watchOS 11.

Developers and enthusiasts who download the latest macOS Sequoia Beta 2 can try out the new iPhone Mirroring feature, which displays a user’s smartphone, including its wallpaper and Home Screen icons. The feature also allows users to interact with apps running on their iPhone using their mouse, trackpad, and keyboard.

At WWDC 2024, Apple also revealed that iPhone Mirroring would let users access their phone even when the screen is locked, while also viewing information with widgets while in StandBy mode. Another feature coming to all users later this year is notification mirroring, with support for responding from the computer.

To try out the new iPhone Mirroring feature, users will need to update to macOS Sequoia Beta 2, while their iPhone will need to be updated to iOS 18 Beta 2. Other notable features in the latest beta include native support for window tiles and Apple’s new password manager app.

On the other hand, developers can also download and test the second beta builds for tvOS 18 and visionOS 2, which were also rolled out by Apple on Monday, alongside watchOS 11. When these OS updates roll out later this year, they are expected to include new features such as an InSight feature (tvOS 18) and a new Vitals app (watchOS 11).

Please note that you will not be able to revert to the stable version of watchOS 10 after updating to the beta. So you will need to resolve any existing bugs and wait for subsequent beta builds before installing the final version of watchOS 11 to return to the stable channel.
