If you want to run MacOS Catalina Beta alongside macOS Mojave or macOS High Sierra, you can do so by adding a new APFS volume to the Mac if that Macs hard drive is formatted as APFS. This effectively creates a dual boot scenario for MacOS Catalina 10.15 and Mojave 10.14.x (or High Sierra), and offers an alternative approach to simply installing MacOS Catalina Beta on a Mac as the primary operating system. There are a few advantages to this approach, notably that you can use a single Mac for running the two operating systems, and you won’t need to designate storage capacity for Catalina as it will share the drive space with the other MacOS release and expand as needed.
Want to disable Camera access for an app on iPhone or iPad? At any time, you can easily revoke camera access for any application on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. By turning off camera access for an app, that app will no longer be able to use either the front or rear cameras on an iPhone or iPad.
For Macs using the APFS file system, you can add a new volume to an existing APFS container by using Disk Utility in MacOS. APFS is somewhat unique in that it allocates disk space on demand, meaning a containers free disk space is shared (compared to HFS+ or FAT where disk space is partitioned into defined allocations).
You can treat APFS volumes sort of like a Mac-specific partition, and you can even install different MacOS versions onto unique volumes, sharing the same available disk space between the Mac OS releases.
