Apple has released the macOS Monterey Public Beta. Here’s how to get it on your machine right now.
The next version of the Mac operating system, macOS 12 Monterey, will be officially released this fall. But you can install and run Monterey now by joining Apple’s Public Beta program. Interested? Here’s what you need to know about the Public Beta. The current version of the Mac operating system is macOS 11 Big Sur. The next version is macOS 12 Monterey. Apple makes a public beta version of Big Sur available for people to try out, test against their favorite software, and report bugs to the company. Since this is beta software, there’s a good chance it could cause problems on your Mac. You may encounter frequent freezes and crashes, or your apps may not work. Don’t count on it being stable enough to use all the time. You should not install the beta on a production Mac or any other Mac you depend on and can’t afford to have out of commission. If you’re worried that a beta flaw will prevent you from using your Mac, don’t install it.
