Apple has released macOS Big Sur 11.3 Public beta 2 with Apple Music autoplay support

Apple has released the second public beta 2 of macOS Big Sur 11.3. The update does not contain any major changes, but mostly under-the-hood bug fixes and improvements.

The first macOS Big Sur 11.3 beta was released over two weeks ago and shipped with a number of feature updates for Safari, Reminders, Music, Apple News+, and improvements to iPad apps on M1 Macs, support for new Xbox and PlayStation 5 controllers, and more.

The only new changes found in this update so far include the following:

• Support for Autoplay is now available in the Music app for macOS Big Sur. This feature is already available on iOS, and helps to discover music similar to what you are listening to.

Download macOS Big Sur 11.3 Public Beta 2

To download macOS Big Sur 11.3 Public beta 2, you have to register to Apple’s beta software program allows anyone to sign up for free, and download public beta builds of Apple’s operating system, however, these updates often release a few days after the developer betas which can only be installed by users registered with Apple Developer Program for $99 annually.
