Overview

Apple today released the second public beta of the upcoming macOS Tahoe 26.4, along with tvOS 26.4 and watchOS 26.4, for testing purposes. The public betas arrive a day after the developer beta was made available and a week after the first public betas were seeded.

How to Install

After signing up for beta testing on Apple’s beta site, public beta testers can download the updates through the Software Update section in the Settings app for each platform.

New Features in macOS Tahoe 26.4

  • Safari Reimplementation – Safari has been reimplemented, restoring an option that was missing in earlier versions of macOS Tahoe.
  • Charge Limit – A new feature lets Mac users set a maximum charge level ranging from 80 % to 100 %.
  • Rosetta 2 Warnings – Apple silicon Macs will now display warnings for apps still using Rosetta 2, as Apple plans to phase out Rosetta after macOS 27.
  • Intel Mac Support – macOS Tahoe is the final version that will run on Intel‑based Macs; Apple is working to remove remaining Intel‑specific features.
