**What’s New in macOS Tahoe 26.4 Public Beta**

Yesterday, Apple released developer beta 1 for macOS Tahoe 26.4, and that same version is now accessible for public beta testers as well. If you’d like to gain early access to the upcoming macOS software update, you can join the free public beta program at [beta.apple.com](http://beta.apple.com).

New today for public testers is macOS 26.4 beta 1, which mirrors the exact software launched yesterday for developers. This update brings four primary changes:

1. **Battery Charge Limit**: This capability allows users to configure their Mac’s maximum charge between 80% and 100%, akin to the option present on iOS devices.

2. **Compact Tab Bar in Safari**: The compact tab bar has made its return to System Settings for Safari users, after being eliminated in the initial version of macOS Tahoe.

3. **New Warning Popups for Rosetta Apps**: Users will now receive alerts when opening Rosetta apps, reminding them that these applications will no longer receive support in macOS 27. Apple has confirmed that macOS 26 is the final version available for Intel Macs.

4. **Bug Fixes**: The update resolves the corner radius bug that emerged in Tahoe, fixing the issue where the window resize pointer failed to conform to the window’s corner shape.

As users delve into the macOS 26.4 beta, they are invited to share any further findings in the comments.
