Apple has released the second beta of macOS Tahoe 26.3 to developers for testing. The build number for this update is 25D5101c.
This release follows the first beta seeded in mid-December and comes on the heels of the public launch of macOS Tahoe 26.2. That update introduced several functional improvements, including the new Edge Light feature for video calls, enhanced AirDrop security with verification codes, and support for tables in Freeform.
It is not yet clear what specific changes are included in this second beta, but the update likely focuses on bug fixes and performance improvements following the holiday break. We are installing the new build now and will update this post if any significant new features or changes are discovered.
macOS Tahoe 26 was a major update for the Mac, introducing a universal design language called 'Liquid Glass,' a dedicated Phone app, and an overhauled Spotlight search. You can review the full list of changes in the official macOS Tahoe 26 release notes.
