Before you can try out the latest version of macOS, you need to install it. Technically, the full release, and even the public beta, are a ways off yet. But there’s a workaround you can use to get your hands on it today.
A word of warning first, though: These betas are early into development, and they could introduce a lot of instability to your computer. Always back up your Mac before installing a beta, especially a developer one, and be prepared for unexpected glitches. To be honest, you’re probably better off waiting for a more stable release, but if you can’t hold yourself back, I understand.
Sign up for Apple’s developer program here. Simply click “Start your enrollment,” log in with your Apple ID (it’ll need two-factor authentication enabled), enter your legal name and address, and wait for approval. You’ll also need to be over 18 (or whatever the legal age of majority is in your region).
General > Software Update. Click the i button next to “Beta updates.”
What to expect from macOS 26 Tahoe
Now that you’re on the latest version of macOS, you’re probably asking yourself “now what?” Well, there’s a lot to explore.
The bigger news is that new number—macOS 26. If you’re confused, good eye. The macOS version before this was actually macOS 15, so what happened to everything in between? Well, Apple’s taking a Windows 95 approach here, and naming all of its new operating systems after the year now. While a bit disorienting, this move does make sense to a degree—it was hard to keep up with the old macOS version numbers unless you were an Apple diehard, but now, you just need to know the year to check if you’re up to date. Still, there is one confusing note—the full version of macOS 26 will likely come this fall, meaning it'll technically be released in 2025. Go figure.
Notes also now has Markdown support, the Journal app is on Mac now, and Messages will now let you run polls in your group chats and can translate messages automatically (rather than requiring a long press first). Notably, the Phone app is also here, so you can call over wifi. Plus, Apple Intelligence has a number of upgrades on the way, including that smarter Siri Apple keeps teasing, although it’s unclear when everything will finally be ready.

With that, you’re all set to download the latest macOS beta and start poking around. But know that you might need to upgrade your device first, if it’s a bit old. macOS 26 Tahoe is compatible with the following devices:
