Today, Apple released the second beta of the macOS Big Sur 11.3 update (model number: 20E5186d). Developers can use the software update in the system preferences to download the beta version of macOS Big Sur 11.3 after installing the appropriate configuration file in the Apple Developer Center.
This new beta update comes with a couple of new features and improvements. There are updates for the Safari browser, app compatibility, reminder app, and more. With the Safari browser, developers can now rearrange the “Start Page” and place the features where they want. For the reminder application, the addition is that the reminder list can now be re-arranged with certain details. Developers can use date (due or creation), title, or priority list to rearrange the reminder list. Furthermore, the reminder list is now printable (“File”> “Print”). A new feature with the reminder app is that you can now drag and drop reminders.
