The automatic window tiling feature in macOS Sequoia can be activated by following these steps:

  1. Ensure that you are running the macOS Sequoia beta.
  2. Drag a window to the side, top, or bottom edge, or a corner of your Mac's screen.
  3. You will see a gray border as a preview of the window tile; release the window to snap it into place.
  4. Dragging to an edge creates a half-screen window, while dragging to a corner creates a quarter-screen window.

Alternatively, you can use keyboard shortcuts for automatic window tiling:

  1. To make a window a half-screen tile, use the function + control + left, right, up, or down arrow2.
  2. You can also rearrange window tiles with function + control + shift + left, right, up, or down arrow2.
  3. Function + control + R will return a window tile to its previous size2.

Lastly, you can access window tile control by hovering over the green maximize window button in the top left corner or in the menu bar by choosing Window > Move & Resize2.
