In addition to watchOS 7 beta 2 and iOS 14 beta 2, Apple today has also released the second developer beta of macOS 11 Big Sur. The release of macOS Big Sur beta 2 comes two weeks after the operating system was officially debuted at WWDC 2020.
macOS Big Sur Beta 2 Details
Developers can update to the second beta of macOS Big Sur by heading to the System Preferences application, then looking for the Software Update option. If you don’t immediately see macOS Big Sur beta 2 available for download, keep checking as the update is still rolling out and could take a few minutes to hit your device.
macOS 11 Big Sur will be released to public beta users sometime this month, according to Apple. As of right now, however, the new operating system is only available to developers. The update won’t be complete until the fall, so testers should expect performance and stability issues when running macOS Big Sur on their primary devices for the time being.
macOS 11 Big Sur is a massive update for the Mac, including a completely redesigned interface, an all-new Messages application, an all-new Control Center and Notification Center, and much more.
