I’d been holding back on switching to Tahoe 26-26.1 to let the bugs get worked out, but it seems this major release I’ve seen a lot more complaints, including here. Just curious if you’ve seen improvements with 26.2. Of course, this wouldn’t apply if you were already satisfied or had no problems with the earlier Tahoe releases. Thanks!
I have no problems, and no with 26.0, none with 26.1, and none with 26.2.

My issue with slow open dialogues is resolved with 26.2. Apart from that I have not been experiencing any issues with Tahoe.

My issues (rather than minor annoyances) are all very much tied to visual issues, not like to affect most users.
Beyond what System Settings can resolve?
Yeah, unfortunately. Whether I use the Accessabilty options or Tinted, there are UI elements I can’t see well enough to use. Toolbars, some notifications, individual entries in Contacts because of the tinted backgrounds, distinguishing the Active tab in Safari.
These are minor, though they add a bit of friction. I have work arounds (click Edit in order to read a Contact), and rely on using the keyboard a lot, rather than the trackpad/mouse, which helps.

The problem I had with it taking 5-10 seconds for “unlock with Apple Watch” to work was fixed in 26.2. That was the only issue I was having beyond problems with Liquid Glass and the death of Bartender in Tahoe.
But I do have issues with Liquid Glass and with the virtual keyboard in iOS26.x which I will save for another thread.
My issue with Apple TV not showing any video in the first 2 minutes still persist but I have a feeling it only happens to me since I don’t see anyone else complaining about it.
I still couldn’t stand some icons still being in squicircle jail and some app not having the big-ass window corner - these inconsistencies depended on the app developer to change them so, surely they will be fixed, one day.
My way (may sound a bit harsh):
- When I am noticing that an app has not adapted to the current OS, I will wait a few months. I am okay with the fact that it is not always possible on day one.
- When those months have passed and there is nothing on the horizon in that matter, I will get rid of the app.
Why?
There is stuff that is visible to me as a customer/user. A lot of stuff is happening under the hood which I cannot see. If the developer does not take care of visible things within a reasonable time frame (months), I start to ask myself if that app has a future in the long run anyway.

I am worried it is those enterprise software maker that is taking their own sweet time - Surprisingly Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook have new icons and big windows corner BUT not Microsoft To Do (windows corner). I am just glancing at my opened apps now and looking at their windows corner.
Kindle have not changed (I can’t get rid of THAT!)
So is SnagIt. Even Fantastical, ChatGPT, Spotify, WhatApp Desktop.
Omg, how long do I have to wait? I can’t get rid of these!
there are issues with Bartender so I stopped using that. istat menus apparently causes problems o i quit that too. im still not sure if it or Raycast is what’s causing keyboard lags etc.
other than those everything seems great.
edit: i realised i have yet to update to 26.2. will revert once ive done that.

Which ones?
(I haven’t noticed any with macOS 26.0, 26.1 and 26.2)
Also wondering since iStat Menus has worked fine for me even with the initial Tahoe beta (at least after I removed Bartender).

Every release of Tahoe from the early public betas to the present have worked for me without errors.

iStat Menus is one app
I know; I’m using it.
I was asking which problems, not which app(s).
I’ve had regular hangs/stalls/spinning beachballs since upgrading to MacOS 26 on my M2 MacBook Air. Rebooting into safemode has sometimes fixed things, but last week (in the lead up to 26.2) reboots/safemode were making no difference. It was getting pretty frustrating. It’s also unlikely to be the Electron bug. The only electron app running is Dropbox, but it’s up to date and quitting the app didn’t fix anything.
Since upgrading to 26.2, I’ve had no problems. I’m not counting chickens before they hatch, because I’m pretty sure the first week or two after 26.1 was equally smooth.

Is anyone here seeing a shuttering and repeating keys when typing on a Bluetooth keyboard after waking up from sleep? I am using a mechanical keyboard that is connected to the Mac and the typing was slow, laggy and some keys are repeated. After almost about 5 minutes when the Mac settled down, then typing is back to normal. This is on 26.2. I don’t remember this before 26.2. Ugh! Good thing I have another keyboard which I connect via cable and that seems ok.
I have not had so much issues with a Mac so much as on Tahoe. There was a macOS from a few years that had quite a large number of issues (was it Sonoma? Big Sur?) but even then, I did not have as much issue as now. Perhaps they had the same number of problem but the visual deformaties made this version more glaring to me! I miss Monterey (probably my favourite macOS by far - and before that, it was Mojave (because it introduced dark mode!))
How is this a good and user-friendly design? This is in 26.2 in the Shortcuts app.

I had frequent beachballs in BBEdit under 26.1. The cure was to wait. It could take 30 seconds, but the app would wake back up without issue.
According to the BBEdit developer, this was a terminal server problem in 26.1. I had other apps that would suspend, so that sounded like a good explanation.
Since updating to 26.2, no issues with BBEdit or the other apps with Rip Van Winkle moments.
