Apple Seeds Second Beta of macOS Sequoia 15.4 With Mail Categorization

Apple today provided developers with the second beta of an upcoming macOS Sequoia 15.4 update for testing purposes. The new beta is available two weeks after Apple released the first beta.

macOS Sequoia 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 15.4 brings Mail Categorization to the Mac for the first time, reorganizing the Mail app into dedicated categories like transactions, updates, promotions, and primary, a category that surfaces the most important emails first.

For Apple News+ subscribers, there is a dedicated News+ Food section with recipes, articles about restaurants, and other related content. There's a new Sketch style in Image Playground, the option to create Memory Movies in the Photos app, and Apple Intelligence is expanding to new languages.

Apple plans to release macOS Sequoia 15.4 in early April.

I see it as no use. Turned it off as soon as I loaded the beta.
I agree. It's useless.

build number is 24E5222f

other stuff released with new builds:

iOS 18.4 beta 2 (22E5216h)

iPadOS 18.4 beta 2 (22E5216h)

tvOS 18.4 beta 2 (22L5234e)

visionOS 2.4 beta 2 (22O5215f)

watchOS 11.4 beta 2 (22T5228e)

as per the webpage https://developer.apple.com/news/releases/

probably the sonoma, ventura and audioos new builds coming too, but they don't go on that page.

i'll update this later when i find out

but the audioos 18.4 beta 2 is probably the same as the tvOS one, 22L5234e, but still need to confirm

EDIT: there is indeed a sonoma 14.7.5 rc 2 build 23H515 and ventura 13.7.5 rc 2 build 22H515

EDIT 2: audioos 18.4 beta 2 build is indeed 22L5234e

I turned off Categories on my iPhone pretty fast. I missed too many important emails at first and quickly figured out how to turn it off. I can think of a lot of other features they could incorporate instead, like handling calendar invites properly, eM Client or Outlook.
