Apple on Monday seeded the second beta of macOS Tahoe 26 to developers for testing. The new beta comes two week after the first beta release, which was seeded to developers following the WWDC25 keybnote.
Registered developers can download the new beta software through the System Settings app. While the macOS Tahoe 26 beta is currently limited to developers, a public beta will be released in July. The update will be released to the public in the fall.
macOS Tahoe features Apple’s Liquid Glass redesign, adds new features to Spotlight, brings the Phone and Journal apps to the Mac for the first time, and includes a new cross-platform Games app. There are also improvements to several of the built-in macOS apps, including Messages, Safari, and Notes.
As usual, MacTrast and Apple both warn users to not install any betas on their daily driver Mac. Instead, only install betas on a device set aside for testing purposes.
