Apple today released to public beta users the second beta version of macOS Tahoe, the latest version of macOS expected to be released this fall. The second beta version was released two weeks after the first public beta version of macOS Tahoe, which is equivalent to the fifth developer beta version.
Public beta testers can download macOS Tahoe from the Software Update section of the Settings app after signing up for the beta on Apple's website.
macOS Tahoe uses the same Liquid Glass design as iOS 26 and extends to app icons, folders, Dock, in-app navigation, menus, Control Center, and menu bar. The control center and menu bar are customizable, and you can also customize folders, app icons, and widgets.
The Safari browser's tab design and sidebar have been updated, and Apple has also brought the "Phone" app to Mac to facilitate users to make calls through Wi-Fi calling. The Phone app supports new Call Screening and Hold Assist features.
Spotlight has been completely upgraded with improved search capabilities and the ability to perform hundreds of actions without opening the app. In addition, new game applications have been added, and game overlays have been added for developers to use Metal 4.
