I don't know what's changed too and was there the whole beta phase. There is this Image Playground now, that i can't use because the tweak to run Apple Intelligence on an external Startup Disk is somehow broken and now I always get this, sometimes it says 0% sometimes 100%, but always the wheel is spinning:

I don't need Intelligence anyway. Just wanted to see what that app is. The pictures looked like it's a game for small children.

This is what I received in Sequoia 15.2 on my M2 Mac Studio:

I waited for 15.2 due to the camera issue I read about here, installed it last night on my M1 Max MBP...zero issues. Everything works great. I have NOT activated the AI features, not sure I will, but I am happy with the OS so far.
I also have an M1 Max and wanted to update.

Does the camera look as good as it did before the 15.1 update? Some reported it’s better than 15.1 but not as good as 15.0.


Thanks!

It's a small thing but nevertheless - weather widgets started to complain about (missing) location access while it was actually enabled.
Had to toggle location access for Weather few times and kill widgets and finally it all came to its' senses again...
 
Siri is becoming more and more broken on simple prompts. Up until now, it was able to mute the sound or put display to sleep on voice command, but now it says it doesn't understand even though the transcription of the command is correct.
 
I downloaded the full installer from Mr. Macintosh, made a USB drive with Install Disk Creator, rebooted to the USB drive, reformatted the internal, checked there were no weird drives or images left over, installed 15.2 and restored with Time Machine.

(I don't know about you guys but for me and 1.2GB on my internal this takes about 12 hours and gets old doing it over and over.)

This morning after everything finished Disk. Utility reports the Creedence/Cryptex disk and three shared support images. How do I get rid of this junk.

Sorry for the late reply. I am sick at the moment and am rarely here.

Please read my thread about this, there is some information. No one really knows. And this seems to exist already since 15.1. It seems to be some kind of harmoles bug and I don't know if they might go away after a while, because I found a way to format and eject them. If they are in Disk Utility only you can wait or try my solution.

Just in addition to that thread:

I had two new ones now, don't know if one was there already before the update.

I wanted to trie if my way to get rid of them without the root account with the two new ones and for one I forgot to delete the files and folders in the same folder where the disk image was and didn't find it anymore.
And then it came back again several times as my formatted empty disk image also on the Desktop and even up to five of those, all with the name "TEST" I gave them when formatting. But I always could eject them. It seems now, they are not coming back.

For the second one I needed the root account from the beginning. Because formatting (erasing in Finder) didn't work. And I think also everything else in those folders can't be deleted without having root rights.

I wasn't paying attention to the issue until I read about it here regarding 15.1.1 so I can't say, but the quality now seems very good to me.
Awesome, thanks! I’ll plan to update this weekend.

I'm having weird issues with Messages on 15.2. Some stickers just completely break the app. Text under stickers starts flickering, scrolling becomes laggy, and eventually the app goes unresponsive, so that I have to force quit it.
Scrolling through text-only chats works fine.

Edit: Investigated further. Seems to be caused by animated stickers exclusively.
 
My windows keep jumping to different sizes. Almost filling the screen in some cases.

Also zooms in!! Just started that one!!!
That was happening to me, too. Turns out it was default settings after update. At least both of the following should be set to OFF:
System Settings/Desktop & Dock/Drag windows to edges to tile
and
System Settings/Desktop & Dock/Drag windows to menu bar to fill screen
and note you may need to scroll way down to the bottom of the"Desktop & Dock" to get to these settings

My internet connection keeps dropping out. Doesn’t matter if it’s the Wi-Fi connection or my thunderbolt dock. Eventually it will connect, but sometimes it takes 30 to 45 seconds. I’ve checked for any extensions that could be causing an issue and problem still happens with Little Snitch disabled. This hasn’t been fun.

If you do not have a VPN or similar on, it helps in such cases to delete the network connections. Alternatively, you can first delete your currently faulty WLAN connection and create a new one

I guess it IS the Little Snitch Mini app, not Little Snitch itself. I'll just keep it disabled until I see there's an update, if ever.
 
Do you mean the one in the Menu Bar with Mini app? I have no problems there.
I'm referring to running Little Snitch And the Little Snitch Mini app at the same time, yes. I'm just going to disable the Mini app for now as that's resolved my bigger problem. I'll worry about Little Snitch Mini later. The regular version of Little Snitch still works fine for me.

Sorry, I didn't know that one exists and the menu bar item of 1Password is called 1Password Mini.
