What’s new in macOS 11.3? Rating in the Reminders app, Safari customizations, more [U]

Apple released the first beta of macOS 11.3 for developers today and the latest Big Sur software comes with a number of new features and changes. The highlight of the improvements is more customization options in Safari, sorting options in the Reminders app, preference panels for iPhone / iPad apps for the touch alts keyboard, support for the latest Xbox / Playstation controllers, and more.

The first macOS Big Sur 11.3 beta is now available for developers and many of the new changes reflect what we saw with the iOS 14.5 beta that arrived yesterday.

Rene Ritchie obtained the release notes and highlighted the most notable changes on Twitter as the software was released.

New features include enhanced personalization in Safari, new sorting options in Reminders, a redesigned News + tab, support for the latest Xbox and Playstation controllers, a new “Made for you” shortcut that works with the music app and apps for iPhone / iPad panels preferably for touch keys on the keyboard.


Update: 9to5Mac we found code references in macOS Big Sur 11.3 beta about a new settings menu that will show details about the Mac warranty, similar to a feature that is already available on iOS. We also found that the App Tracking Transparency API is now available on macOS 11.3 beta.


We will update this post as we learn more about macOS 11.3.
