Apple is gearing up to release even more security updates as it tests out beta fixes for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. On Tuesday, Apple pushed multiple beta builds out for its existing operating systems.\n\nThe new macOS Tahoe 26.6.2 beta update has build number 25G82 and comes just four days after its predecessor, macOS 26.6.1, went public. Apple has yet to disclose what macOS 26.6.2 fixes.

However, macOS 26.6.1 fixed an issue with Screen Sharing, addressed with improved state management.\n\nAlso released were Release Candidates for iPhone and iPad builds: iOS 18.7.10 (22H373), iPadOS 18.7.10 (22H373), iOS 26.6.1 (23G82), and iPadOS 26.6.1 (23G82). If you are running the beta for any of these builds, you should be able to download them now.\n\nAppleInsider and Apple strongly advise against installing test operating systems or beta software onto primary or mission-critical hardware. As noted before, Apple has said users should expect these minor security updates to continue, and that the company will no longer delay including updates in upcoming scheduled releases.

These updates are critical for patching vulnerabilities and keeping devices performing optimally.
