Apple Releases Third Public Beta of macOS Ventura 13.1

Just put Freeform on the App Store. It's not part of the OS. I've enough bloatware as it is

ummm, move to trash if you don't want it. Hard to find a complaint in this

Actually really looking forward to FreeForm, especially on Mac. Hopefully it becomes popular, it seems like it could be super useful.

Is Freeform shared only through FaceTime? This might be useful for education if it could be done with 20+ people at the same time.

I teach at a small college and see a lot of potential in a tool like Freeform.

But it's only for Apple devices, right? Only about 4 in 10 of my students have Macs, 1 in 10 have iPads, most have Windows laptops and a few have non-Apple tablets.

So unless Freeform becomes available for non-Apple platforms, I won't be able to use it.

But there are already other products that work across platforms and provide similar functionality as Freeform.

How many betas do these usually have? Wondering whether it will release next week (before Thanksgiving) or early December. I'm waiting for its release to upgrade from Monterey.

Monday Dec 12th its when it is expected to be publicly released. (last 2 years were Dec 13, Dec 14)

Been using beta 3 for a day, had no issues. Its macOS 13.1 beta 3 (22C5050e)

Workaround: Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access, select the security product, use the minus (-) button to remove, and then use the plus (+) button to re-add the affected security product. A system restart might be required to restore expected functionality.
