macOS Catalina 10.15.1 is a fairly significant update, introducing new emoji characters that were added in iOS 13.2 earlier this week, adding support for the AirPods Pro that are launching tomorrow, and bringing Siri privacy controls to the Mac to allow users to opt out of sharing their Siri recordings with Apple.<\/p>\n

HomeKit Secure Video support is included, as is support for adding AirPlay 2-enabled speakers in scenes and automations in the Home app. There are also quite a few bug fixes for Photos, Messages, Contacts, and more.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

The standalone download isn’t yet available, but it should eventually show up here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

There are no documented fixes for Mail, and I’ve not heard any reports that the data loss bugs are fixed, so I’m assuming they are not. I expect that macOS 10.15.1 is mostly stuff that was in the works before 10.15.0 shipped.<\/p>\n\n

Random consideration\/thought\/question: when (if ever) will Apple let us create our own time-of-day-responsive desktop\/lock screen\/home screen background bundles? I enjoy the transitions in the image through the course of the day each time I wake my Mac.<\/p>\n

I’d love to have that live on my Mac desktop, and be able to randomly\/programmatically change it each day. It’s whimsical and non-essential, and the sort of thing Apple should let third parties in on.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Indeed, at first I discounted that feature as a sort of gimmick to go along with auto Dark Mode, which I don’t use, but it turns out that it makes me happy.<\/p>\n\n
