Well, we all knew it was inevitable, so here we go: the seventh Beta build of the forthcoming Mac OS X 10.11.4 El Capitan computer operating system is now available for testing.

After seeding the iOS 9.3 Beta 7 to public beta testers and developers worldwide for supported iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices yesterday, now Apple supplies seventh Beta of OS X 10.11.4 El Capitan, which should be released during the "Let us loop you in" event on March 21, 2016.

As usual, there aren't any official release notes for the new Beta of Mac OS X 10.11.4 El Capitan, which has been tagged by Apple on their Apple Developer website as build 15E64a, but those who tested it reported the fact that it brings support for Live Photos in the Messages app.

Most certainly, there are a number of issues that have been fixed in this pre-release version of OS X 10.11.4, meaning that it is now more stable and reliable in case you're planning on switching to the Beta channel for your MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, or iMac computer.

Here's how to install OS X 10.11.4 Beta 7

Those of you who are already running a previous Beta of OS X 10.11.4 El Capitan on their Macs can now head over to the Mac App Store, access the Updates tab, and install the OS X 10.11.4 Beta 7 update. On the other hand, if you're planning on jumping ship to the Beta channel of OSX, you need to follow our in-depth instructions.

The final Mac OS X 10.11.4 production version, which is the fourth maintenance release in the El Capitan series, doesn't yet have a release date because Apple never published a release schedule for its software products, but most certainly will be unveiled around next week's March 21 event.
