Apple has distributed the release candidate (RC) version of macOS Tahoe 26.6 to developers, signaling the final stage before the public release. This update follows the fifth beta, which was made available a week prior.
Developers can access the macOS Tahoe 26.6 RC by navigating to the System Settings app, selecting the General category, and choosing Software Update. To download the update, Beta Updates must be enabled, and a free developer account is required.
As Apple prepares for the upcoming launch of macOS Golden Gate in the coming months, the focus appears to be shifting towards the new software. Consequently, macOS Tahoe 26.6 is not expected to introduce significant new features.
For users, this release candidate suggests that the public release of macOS Tahoe 26.6 is imminent, provided no major issues are identified during this final testing phase. It’s advisable for users to stay updated on official announcements regarding the availability of the update.
