Following an extended developer and public beta period, Apple is now rolling out macOS 26.6 to all users with compatible Macs. Here’s what’s new. macOS 26.6 now available macOS 26.6 is now available, containing mostly bug fixes and performance improvements. The update addresses a bug that incorrectly displayed deprecation notices for some apps identified as Intel-only, as well as issues affecting HealthKit, and HDR screenshots in Messages. For users planning on updating to macOS 27 Golden Gate later this year, macOS 26.6 likely starts the indexing process that will power the new Siri AI, the Siri app, and other features related to the new version of Apple Intelligence. Apple has so far confirmed this only for iOS 26.6 and iPadOS 26.6, but the same process appears likely on the Mac. As users running the macOS 27 beta know, indexing can take several days, so starting it now should reduce the wait after upgrading later this year. The release build for macOS 26.6 is 25G72, which is different from last week’s RC (25G70). Did you spot anything new on macOS 26.6? Let us know in the comments.
