Hi folks, First - I'm not a developer.

Some time ago I came across Sequoia Beta and installed it thinking it was just a usage data collection thing. I recently wanted to delete it because I suspected it was causing other issues, but was only offered to have updates stopped. My MacBook Pro M2 still says I'm running Sequoia 15.3 (Beta 24D5034f).

I have another, maybe unrelated issue and posted a question about it on Apple Community but the question was deleted and I was pointed here because I mentioned the Beta! This was my question:

I can FaceTime from the iPhone but when I try to FaceTime from the Mac, I get a notification on the Mac saying: "iPhone calls not available. Your iPhone is not configured to allow calls using this Mac". My iPhone is a 14Plus on iOS 18.2.1 (22C161). I've tried the iPhone and Mac fixes suggested by Apple but no luck there - that was all about turning iMessages and FaceTime off or signing out for both devices, then power cycling both devices. I don't understand how this is supposed to work.

Could my issue be related to the Beta? If so, and in any case, how do I remove the Beta?

TIA

A beta release is a version of software that is currently in development, which might be why you're experiencing bugs. Maybe they're caused by the beta, maybe they aren't.

However, macOS 15.3 is now at Release Candidate stage, which means the final release to the public will be in the next few days or week.

If I were you, I would turn off beta updates, and wait until 15.3 is released to the public. It's easy:

  1. Open System Settings.
  2. Click on General.
  3. Click on Software Update.
  4. Click the i beside Beta updates and make sure it is set to off.

Now that you're no longer in the Beta program, the next version of macOS you'll see in System Settings will be 15.3.

Thanks darkpaw, but I don't understand what you're saying.

As I said in my question, I'm already running Sequoia 15.3 and have already turned off beta updates.

I must be misunderstanding something basic. Would you please help me understand?

Thank you
