December 6, 2018

Beyond the official update for iOS 12 (iOS 12.1.1) for mobile devices, Apple also launched macOS Mojave 10.14.2, the second update to the macOS Mojave operating system, first released in September.

macOS Mojave 10.14.2 comes three weeks after Apple launched macOS Mojave 10.14.1 with support for Group FaceTime and new emoji.

macOS Mojave 10.14.2 can be downloaded if the user goes to the "Software Update" section of System Preferences, in a new installation method introduced with the Mojave update.

The 10.14.2 update introduces performance improvements and bug fixes for issues not addressed in macOS Mojave 10.14.1.No significant feature changes were introduced during the beta testing period.

According to the official update, the new update:

Adds RTT (real-time text) support for Wi-Fi calls.
Adds a menu item to News, for opening a story in Safari.
Resolves an issue that can prevent iTunes from playing media on third party AirPlay speakers.

In terms of business, it allows administrators to enable FileVault via MDM for mobile accounts, allows users to reset their password in the login window when that password has expired, and resolves an issue that prevented monitors from working when connected to 2018 MacBook Pro models if they are connected simultaneously to certain third party USB graphics devices.
