Apple today released iOS 26.6, iPadOS 26.6, and macOS Tahoe 26.6, all of which have a long list of security fixes.
iOS 26.6 and iPadOS 26.6 fix nearly 90 security vulnerabilities affecting everything from the App Store to the Neural Engine. Several kernel and WebKit vulnerabilities have been fixed, as well as issues affecting the iPhone’s Wi-Fi, Siri, and image processing.
Details on all fixes can be found in Apple’s security support document.
macOS Tahoe 26.6 offers more than 130 vulnerability fixes, with many of these updates also available in macOS Sequoia 15.7.8 and macOS Sonoma 14.8.8. The latest two updates are available for Macs not running macOS Tahoe.
Apple’s other updates, tvOS 26.6, watchOS 26.6, and visionOS 26.6, also contain more than 80 security fixes.
While Apple isn’t saying any of the vulnerabilities were actively exploited, now that the issues are public, devices that aren’t updated could be vulnerable. It’s a good idea to update all your devices to the latest software available to keep you safe.
