Apple has relented no less than considerably concerning a privacy-related pop-up in testing with macOS Sequoia, making certain that this immediate now doesn’t seem as usually because it did earlier than within the beta.
That is the considerably annoying display recording privateness immediate that appeared weekly (for affected apps that use display recording) and after each reboot of the Mac.
Nevertheless, as 9to5Mac experiences, with the newest developer beta 6 of macOS Sequoia, the immediate has been adjusted to pop up solely as soon as a month. So, you gained’t need to approve display recording permissions for each app that wants them each single week, and the change additionally stops you from being equally hassled each time you reboot your Mac.
The brand new immediate noticed by 9to5Mac reads: “[App name] is requesting to bypass the system non-public window picker and immediately entry your display and audio. It will enable [app name] to file your display and system audio, together with private or delicate info that could be seen or audible.”
You’re then given a option to ‘Enable For One Month’ (so that you gained’t see the pop-up once more for a month), or you possibly can elect to ‘Open System Settings,’ whereupon you’ll be led to preferences for display recording permissions.
The change appears to be unique to the macOS Sequoia 15.0 developer beta 6 and never the Sequoia 15.1 department, which is the developer beta that lastly has some Apple Intelligence options. We’ve seen the immediate within the Sequoia 15.0 public beta, too.

It seems there’s no manner for builders to get round this month-to-month immediate, which impacts varied screenshot instruments and, in fact, apps the place you share your display (like Zoom or Slack).
That mentioned, it could nonetheless be doable for builders to discover a solution to stop the warning from popping up with their app – however it’s unclear what this may be. 9to5Mac even factors out a doable fudge that devs might leverage (a ‘Persistent Content material Seize’ entitlement), however Apple hasn’t offered any steering on how this would possibly work but – or any steering in any respect, for that matter.
Whereas this can be a step in the precise course in no less than making the pop-up much less common, there needs to be a manner for macOS customers to completely grant a selected app display recording permissions. Because the change remains to be being examined, we hope Apple would possibly tweak the concept additional or no less than give builders some extra clues on what they will do to probably sidestep it.
