Apple Seeds macOS 13 Ventura Release Candidate to Developers

The next-gen version of the Mac operating system, called macOS 13 Ventura, will be released on October 24. One week after Apple gave the eleventh alpha to developers, the release candidate version came along.

Once the appropriate profile is installed, the software updates will be available through the System Preferences.

Stage Manager is a new feature that allows Mac users to focus on a task while keeping other apps ready for easy swap between tasks. The Continuity Camera is designed to allow you to use the iPhone as aWebcam for your Mac. Center stage, desk view, and studio light are supported.

Messages supports features for marking an iMessage as unread, as well as Handoff, which allows you to transfer calls between the three devices at will. SharePlay can now be used in the Messages app.

The Mail app supports scheduling and undoing emails for up to 10 seconds after they're sent, and there are now weather and clock apps that are available on the Mac. The new design of System Preferences is similar to the one used on the iPad.

Apple is working on Passkeys, a next- generation credential that replaces the password, as well as supporting shared tab groups. New features and updates to Spotlight, Photo Library, and Metal 3 can be found in macOS Ventura.

Everything new in macOS Ventura is covered in a dedicated list.
