macOS Tahoe Now Available With Liquid Glass Design, Phone App, Spotlight Actions and More

[imDavid]

Just popped up for me (Studio M4 Max).

 

[elven_emblems]

Updated to iOS 26, iPadOS 26, WatchOS 26 and TVOS 26 without any issues - build# is updated for all as I was on RC and still got the new update.

Had similar issues with MacOS 26 like others here (15.7) - was able to download the update after connecting to Sweden thru VPN.

Try Command+R

I got 15.7 on MBP Intel but not 26 final on MacStudio

I don't think this makes much sense anymore. macOS installs as a read-only image these days. Your previous install cannot have been changed at all.

Sometimes it's nice to clear out the clutter from apps that didn't remove themselves properly

Just appeared for me M3 Pro MacBook Pro, UK.

EDIT: Size just jumped to 15.49GB

Hit Command + R on the Software Update screen (make sure the search box is not selected) to force another re-check. Although, it hasn't helped me yet. 🤣

I literally just did this out of curiosity and the Tahoe update popped up. 🤣 Thank you friend! 🫶🏻

I got it shortly after the release, download estimates were all over the place. Installation on a Mac Mini m4 has taken 35 minutes so far and it’s still working.

I was offered 15.7 but decided to take the plunge however my iPhone 16PM is staying on IOS 18.7 for now.

 

[badtzmaru]

I just got the Sequoia 15.7 update 🤣

Haha same. Tahoe not showing up at all.

 

[S.B.G]

Showing up now.

I was in the Sequoia 15.7 upgrade club, but the macOS 26 upgrade just popped up for me. I guess we have to learn patience, even in 2025.

While I've had all the other betas, I can't afford to F around with macOS betas. Work critical apparatus. I usually wait until .1 for macOS, but only for macOS. How is it working?

 

[Alexrat1996]

it shows for me

 

[shinji]

Tahoe just started showing up for me.

 

[Goodeye]

after refreshing the Soft Update in System Preferences for 30 mins, finally MacOS 26 appears. now updating.

This but I did a complete shutdown of my Mac and turned it back on. Once I was back on my mac and went into settings it was coming up.

Could just have been timing but if others are still not seeing it, try this.

3. disabled my vpn
4. started it
5. "failed to connect to rosetta update"
6. update gone again.

Finally MacOS 26 final showed up.

 

[lurpdog]

Same!

same here too. Mine is only 1 month old 2025 M4 air! 15.7 only option for me

 

[manofthematch]

I'm getting it now.

I am crazy to install it on release day.

 

[MacCraig Pro]

Showed up as 7.68Gb but now downloading 14Gb?

 

[mikeb13]

It’s a 15.12gb download.

 

[MBAir2010]

They haven't release Tahoe yet. Chill

the chill is over, Tahoe.....mon Amigos, is now available!

 

[tarunc]

I turned beta off on my 14" mbp and Tahoe showed up....I was on RC already...disabling beta got me to released build.

 

[bmolands]

They probably roll out the Tahoe update after the iOS because there's so much bandwidth going out for iOS. Tahoe is 20+ GB so they wanted to wait until the first hour of iOS updates calmed down
