Apple has released the first public beta of macOS Tahoe 26.2, following the developer beta rollout just a day earlier. Public beta testers can download the update through the Software Update section in System Settings after registering on Apple’s beta site.
The macOS Tahoe 26.2 beta brings key improvements across several apps. The Reminders app now lets users set an alarm when a reminder is due. The News app receives subtle design updates, while the Podcasts app gains new features aimed at improving the listening experience.
For now, the beta is limited to developers and public testers, but Apple’s testing period is expected to be short. If history repeats, macOS Tahoe 26.2 could see a full release around mid-December.
This update highlights Apple’s continued focus on usability and app enhancements, ensuring macOS users get a smoother experience ahead of the holiday season.
