macOS Tahoe 26.5 Now Available

[MacRumors]

Apple today released macOS Tahoe 26.5, the fifth major update to the macOS Tahoe operating system. macOS Tahoe 26.5 comes seven weeks after Apple released macOS Tahoe 26.4.

Mac users can download the new software by opening up the System Settings app and navigating to the Software Update section.

macOS Tahoe 26.5 adds a Suggested Places section to the search interface in the Apple Maps app. It also lays the groundwork for ads in the Maps app, which are coming this summer.

The App Store is also getting a monthly subscription option that will let users pay a lower price on a monthly basis, but agree to pay for a subscription for a 12-month period.

The update also likely includes several bug fixes and other under-the-hood performance updates, but no new features were found during the beta testing period.

I hope you're right... 26.4 completely messed up my printers. I hope I don't regret this.

Why is the update like 15.6 GB? Bug fixes?

 

[thistleknife]

Loaded in one try, I wonder if they fixed whatever made the macOS ones delayed...

 

[minik]

Time to get busy again with this build 25F71

 

[TrueIcex]

Will the update remove unnecessary GB from MacOS like it does on iOS? System data on the iPhone has gone from 25GB to less than 2GB. I expect the same will happen on Mac.

Update: I gave up as none of the mentioned issues have been fixed.

26.5 was my only hope before 27…

Hoping pinned safari tabs stay in place for now...and also the animated screensaver going with 1 fps.

[chrfr]

Ads in Maps and no security fixes?

I think I'll skip this one.

Of course there are many security fixes: https://support.apple.com/en-us/127115

Is it the same as RC?

Yes.

[Corefile]

Yippee...not.

 

[jimmy_john]

Did they finally strip out Liquid Glass?

 

[RampageJoe]

[brerlappin]

Hopefully the bricking issues of macOS 26.4/26.4.1 are fixed

 

[bekiil]

Does this one come as a standalone installer or is it still 26.4.1?
