If you’re feeling curious and/or somewhat brave, Apple released the macOS Ventura public beta on Monday.
The beta, which was previously only available to the developer community, offers an assortment of new features including Continuity Camera, Stage Manger, Safari Passkeys and more. The release version is expected in the fall.
To install the macOS Ventura public beta, you must be enrolled in the Public Beta program, which you can do through the Apple Public Beta Software Program website.
Just sign up and use the following directions:
1. Click on the Sign Up button.
2. Enter your Apple ID information. If you don’t have an Apple ID, click on the “Don’t have an Apple ID? Create yours now” link.
3. A “Guide for Public Betas” page will appear after entering your Apple ID. If you are on a Mac, this will default to the macOS section. You can read the page for information on the program.
4. Click Enroll You Devices at the top of the page or click the enroll your Mac link in the Get Started section of the page.
5. This should take you to the “Enroll you devices” webpage. Follow the instructions. In step 2, you will download the “macOS Public Beta Access Utility” which will enroll your Mac into the program. Then the utility will launch Software Update to download and install the Ventura beta.
Depending on your Internet connection speed, the installation can take roughly 40 minutes or longer.
