macOS Sequoia 15.2 now available with 13 new features
After a month of beta testing, Apple is finally releasing macOS 15.2, the second major update of the macOS Sequoia cycle. With this version, Mac users get newer Apple Intelligence features, nice-to-have functions, and some bug fixes. Here's everything you need to know about it.
These are the main Apple Intelligence features available with macOS 15.2:
Image Playground: Users can create playful images in seconds, choosing from Animation or Illustration. This app is built right into apps like Messages and is also available in a dedicated app;
ChatGPT integration: When you feel Apple Intelligence isn’t enough, you can allow ChatGPT to access Writing Tools and other features for a better response;
Create Images expansion: Another Apple Intelligence feature available with macOS 15.2 beta 4 is the ability to create an image when you highlight text in the Notes app.
Apple has delayed Genmoji's introduction. With it, you can create custom emojis by combining two figures; users can type a prompt like “monkey with pink hat” to make an entirely new emoji; here’s how to use it. Still, if someone on an iPhone sends a message with a Genmoji, Mac users can see it.
Besides that, macOS 15.2 also brings these features to all Mac users:
Photos: Favorite album appears in the Utilities collection in addition to Pined Collections and Recently Viewed and Recently Shared album history can be cleared;
Safari: New background images to customize your Safari Start Page, HTTPS upgrade tries to use secure HTTPS on all websites, and simplified import and export for history, bookmarks, and passwords are now available;
