Apple on Tuesday released the first betas of iOS 15.5, iPadOS 15.5, and macOS 12.4 for developers. While it’s still unclear what’s new in today’s updates, the release notes for iPadOS 15.5 make it clear that Universal Control may not work as expected if all devices are not running the latest betas.
As detailed on the Apple Developer website, you cannot use Universal Control between devices running different versions of iPadOS and macOS. This means that if you install iPadOS 15.5 beta on your iPad, you must install the macOS 12.4 beta on your Mac to keep Universal Control enabled.
This, of course, is just a bug that will surely be fixed before the update is released to the public. However, if you rely on Universal Control in your workflow, you might want to wait a bit longer before updating to the iPadOS 15.5 beta.
It’s worth noting that although Universal Control was introduced with iPadOS 15.4 and macOS 12.3, the feature is still labeled as “beta” by Apple.
If you’re a developer, you can now download the latest betas for Apple’s operating systems from the Apple Developer website. The updates are yet to be released for users registered in the Apple Beta Software Program.
