Apple Seeds First Beta of macOS Monterey 12.4 to Developers
Registered developers can download the beta through the Apple Developer Center and after the appropriate profile is installed, betas will be available through the Software Update mechanism in System Preferences.
According to Apple’s release notes, Universal Control in the new iPadOS 15.5 and macOS Monterey 12.4 updates is not compatible with machines running macOS 12.3 or iPadOS 15.4, so Apple suggests that as a workaround, users should update their Universal Control devices to the new betas.
We don’t yet know if there are any other features in macOS Monterey 12.4, but if we find anything new after installing the software, we’ll update this article.
