Apple Seeds Third Beta of macOS Sequoia 15.3 to Developers

Apple today provided developers with the third beta of an upcoming macOS Sequoia 15.3 update, with the third beta coming a week after Apple released the second beta.

macOS Sequoia Night Feature
Registered developers can opt-in to the macOS Sequoia beta through the Software Update section of the System Settings app. An Apple ID associated with an Apple Developer account is required to get the beta.

macOS Sequoia 15.3 brings Genmoji to the Mac, a feature that was previously limited to the iPhone and iPad. With ‌Genmoji‌, Mac users can create custom characters with a text-based prompt, similar to how Image Playground works.

‌Genmoji‌ characters behave just like emoji on devices running iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, ‌macOS Sequoia‌ 15.1 and later, but on earlier versions of iOS, macOS, iPadOS, and Android devices, ‌Genmoji‌ are sent as images. ‌Genmoji‌ can be added from the emoji interface, and image generation is done on-device.

All macs with an Apple silicon chip support ‌Genmoji‌ and other Apple Intelligence features.

Curious as to whether or not Apple will ever bring folders and the trash bin up to the standard rounded corner icons. Been four and a half years since it became standard for every icon starting with Big Sur. Just a slight inconsistency.

I'm still waiting for anything really new to appear.

No iPhone Sync, no Genmoji, nothing Apple Intelligence related... So far Sequoia has been a bit of a bust. Hopefully Apple will start rolling out the new features to non-US English devices at some point...

WE WANT iPHONE MIRRORING IN EUROPE!!!
The phone mirroring sucks FYI. I turned it off after about a day of use because it is nowhere near as convenient as just using your phone.
