Apple today released mac OS Tahoe 26.5, the fifth major update to the &zwnj;mac OS Tahoe&zwnj; operating system. &zwnj;mac OS Tahoe&zwnj; 26.5 comes seven weeks after Apple released mac OS Tahoe 26.4. Mac users can download the new software by opening up the System Settings app and navigating to the Software Update section. &zwnj;mac OS Tahoe&zwnj; 26.5 adds a Suggested Places section to the search interface in the Apple Maps app. It also lays the groundwork for ads in the Maps app, which are coming this summer. The App Store is also getting a monthly subscription option that will let users pay a lower price on a monthly basis, but agree to pay for a subscription for a 12-month period. The update also likely includes several bug fixes and other under-the-hood performance updates, but no new features were found during the beta testing period.Related Roundup: macOS TahoeRelated Forum: macOS TahoeThis article, "macOS Tahoe 26.5 Now Available" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
