Apple Officially Releases macOS Tahoe 26.1 for Mac [Download]

Apple has officially released macOS Tahoe 26.1, the first major point update for its new desktop operating system. The software arrives for all users after several weeks of beta testing with developers.

The update's most notable new feature is the addition of a 'Tinted' setting for the system's Liquid Glass interface. As noted in the release candidate, the option increases opacity and adds more contrast, giving users a way to tone down the system's translucency.

macOS 26.1 also brings support for Apple Music AutoMix over AirPlay and improves FaceTime audio quality in low-bandwidth conditions. For families, the update enables Communication Safety and web content filters by default for existing child accounts for ages 13-17. It also includes important bug fixes and security updates.


macOS Tahoe 26 was a significant update, introducing a universal design language called 'Liquid Glass,' a new Phone app, and an overhauled Spotlight search.

You can download macOS Tahoe 26.1 from System Settings > General > Software Update on your Mac. Direct download links for macOS installers are also available at the link below.
