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.

- Photos: Favorite album appears in the Utilities collection in addition to Pined Collections and Recently Viewed and Recently Shared album history can be cleared;
