Developers can download the macOS Tahoe 26.5 update by opening the System Settings app, selecting General, and then choosing Software Update. Beta updates must be enabled, and a free developer account is required.

macOS Tahoe 26.5 could introduce some Apple Intelligence and Siri features, though recent rumors suggest the new capabilities will be held until iOS 27.

The beta is limited to developers right now, but a public beta is expected in the next week or two.
