Apple seeds macOS 13 Ventura beta 4 to developers ahead of fall release

macOS 13 Ventura beta 4 is finally available to developers. After three since the third seed of this upcoming operating system for the Mac was released, Apple is making available a new build to developers to keep testing what’s next for the company’s computers. It’s also been a couple of weeks since the company released its public beta version and a revised version to developers.

Today’s build is 22A5311f. macOS 13 Ventura’s main focus is on continuity features, such as the ability to start a FaceTime call on the Mac and seamlessly switch to the iPhone or iPad.

Another great addition to macOS 13 Ventura beta is the Stage Manager feature, which not only is available to the iPad but will also help users organize their workflows between apps and windows. For the first time, this operating system also brings two new stock apps: Clock and Weather.

Collaboration is another important word with the macOS 13 Ventura ecosystem:

  • With Messages, you can send collaboration invitations so everyone on a thread will automatically be added to the document spreadsheet, or project. Users will be able to see edits in real-time, and developers can integrate their app’s collaboration experiences with Message and FaceTime;
  • With iCloud Share Photo Library you can share your photo library with your family and give everyone equal permissions to add, edit, favorite, caption, and delete photos

Safari is also receiving some love with new collaboration features with:

  • Shared Tab Groups lets you share a set of tabs with friends. Everyone can add their own tabs and see the Tab Group update instantly as you work together.

Alongside macOS 13 Ventura beta 4, Apple is seeding iOS 16 beta 4, iPadOS 16 beta 4, watchOS 9 beta 4, and tvOS 16 beta 4.
