Apple Releases macOS Tahoe 26.2 With Edge Light and 46 Security Fixes

The update is rolling out as build 25C56 and limits the new video lighting effect to Apple silicon models.

Overview

  • Edge Light simulates a ring light using the display, offers adjustable width and color temperature, recedes near the cursor, and can auto‑enable in low light on 2024‑and‑later Macs.
  • Apple confirms the public release matches the prior Release Candidate, and users can install it via System Settings > General > Software Update.
  • App refinements include automatically generated chapters in Podcasts, Games library filters and controller support, Freeform tables, Apple News sidebar sections, and AirDrop verification codes.
  • Apple’s security notes list 46 vulnerabilities addressed, including multiple WebKit issues with two that were exploited in targeted attacks, making prompt updating advisable.
  • Post‑release reports note unresolved accessibility concerns, with Liquid Glass transparency effects persisting even when Reduce transparency is enabled.
