Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Freddy123 for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, Nov. 10 (Xinhua)-- Apple today released an update to macOS 14.2 developer Preview Beta 2 (internal version: 23C5041e) to Mac users, 14 days after its last release.

MacOS Sonoma 14.2 added the Apple Music favorites playlist, which contains all your favorites, and added support for collaborative playlists. You can now share playlists with others, and each participant can add songs.

Now, when you long press the chat bubble in the message application, you can use stickers to reply to iMessage, and now support the additional secure iMessage Contact Key Verification option.

Apple officials say that after enabling the iMessage Contact Key Verification feature, users can further verify that the person they are communicating with is the intended target.

IMessage Contact Key Verification uses key transparency to enable automatic authentication to ensure that the iMessage key distribution service returns device keys that have been logged to verifiable and auditable mappings.

When iMessage Contact Key Verification is enabled, users are notified of any validation errors directly in the message conversation log and Apple ID settings.

For greater security, iMessage Contact Key Verification users can compare contact verification codes in person, on FaceTime, or through other secure calls. They can also choose to create or edit a contact and save the public key to open CKV with that person.
