Apple today released macOS Tahoe 26.6 to the public, marking the release of the sixth major update to the macOS Tahoe operating system, which was released in September 2025. macOS Tahoe 26.6 comes one month after the release of macOS Tahoe 26.5.
Mac users can download the macOS Tahoe 26.6 update by using the Software Update section of the System Settings app.
According to Apple’s release notes for the update, macOS Tahoe 26.6 includes security fixes for the Mac and it optimizes Spotlight for the release of macOS 27.
This update may be among the last for Tahoe, as Apple has shifted its focus to macOS 27 Golden Gate, which will be released to the public in the fall.
