The official release notes for macOS Sonoma 14.3 highlight a notable addition: the introduction of Apple Music playlist collaboration.
The standout feature in this update is Apple Music playlist collaboration. For Apple Music subscribers, this enables the invitation of others to collaborate on a playlist. Collaborators have the ability to add, reorder, and remove songs, as well as react with emojis to any track.
Additionally, the AppleCare & Warranty section in System Settings has been enhanced. It now provides coverage information for all devices associated with your Apple ID, expanding beyond the previous limitation to only the current device, and paired AirPods and Beats headphones.
