Apple today released macOS Tahoe 26.5, the fifth major update to the macOS Tahoe operating system. macOS Tahoe 26.5 arrives seven weeks after Apple released macOS Tahoe 26.4.
Mac users can download the new software by opening the System Settings app and going to the Software Update section.
macOS Tahoe 26.5 adds a Suggested Places section to the search interface in the Apple Maps app. It also lays the groundwork for ads in the Maps app, which will arrive this summer.
The App Store also offers a monthly subscription option that will allow users to pay a lower price on a monthly basis, but agree to pay a subscription for a 12-month period.
The update also likely includes several bug fixes and other performance updates under the hood, but no new features were found during the beta testing period.
