macOS Ventura 13.2 available now with bug fixes, improvements and new features

Apple has released macOS Ventura 13.2, bringing bug fixes, improvements and new features to the Mac.

Available beginning today, macOS Ventura 13.2 adds support for Security Keys for Apple ID, allowing users to strengthen the security of their Apple ID account by requiring a physical security key to sign in, fixes an issue where VoiceOver may stop offering audio feedback while a user is typing, and more.

macOS Ventura 13.2 sees Apple expand the availability of its iCloud Advanced Data Protection feature to all users worldwide, giving users the choice to protect the vast majority of their most sensitive iCloud data with end-to-end encryption so that it can only be decrypted on their trusted devices.

Apple launched iCloud Advanced Data Protection in the US last year, taking the total number of sensitive data categories using end-to-end encryption to 23. With the new Advanced Data Protection feature, Apple additionally offers end-to-end encryption for Device Backups and Messages Backups, iCloud Drive, Notes, Photos, Reminders, Voice Memos, Safari Bookmarks, Siri Shortcuts, and Wallet Passes.
