The latest beta release from Apple has arrived. Today, the company launched macOS Sequoia 15.4 beta 1, along with several other updates intended for developers.
Initial macOS 15.4 beta opens the door for numerous new features
Following the general availability of macOS 15.3 last month—which introduced Genmoji and various minor AI improvements—Apple has now made the first beta version of macOS 15.4 available for developers.
For those looking to try out macOS 15.4 beta 1, ensure that developer beta updates are enabled in the System Settings app under the Software Update section.

Details regarding the new features included in this initial macOS 15.4 beta are still unfolding.
That said, here are several features that are anticipated to appear in this update:
- Redesign of the Mail app with improved inbox organization (first seen on iPhone in iOS 18.2)
- New supported languages for Apple Intelligence beyond just English
- Priority notifications feature to highlight critical alerts
- A fresh set of built-in emojis
- Potential Siri enhancements, which may have been postponed to version 15.5
