Here\u2019s what\u2019s new on the Mac:<\/p>\n
\nEdge Light
\u2013 Edge Light video effect uses the Mac display to illuminate your face like a virtual ring light when you\u2019re on a video call in low light
\u2013 Customizable light width and temperature give you control over how you\u2019re lit

\u2013 Filters in the Games library let you find games by category, size, and more
\u2013 In-game challenge score banners provide real-time updates when someone new has taken the lead
\u2013 Connected controller support<\/p>\nThis update also includes the following enhancements and bug fixes:
\u2013 AirDrop codes offer an additional layer of verification when using AirDrop with unknown contacts by providing a code on the receiver\u2019s device that the sender must enter to complete the transfer
\u2013 Apple News Section links in the sidebar of the News app offer easy navigation to popular topics like Sports, Politics, Business, and Food

To update, go to the Software Update<\/strong> in System Settings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
watchOS 26.2 only features improvements to the Sleep Score feature. <\/p>\n
You\u2019ll need an Apple Watch 6 or later, any Apple Watch Ultra, or the second- or third-generation Apple Watch SE to upgrade. The update can be downloaded now through the companion Watch app on your iPhone by heading to General > Software Update<\/strong> in the My Watch portion of the app. You can also go to Settings > General > Software Update<\/strong> on an Apple Watch.<\/p>\n
Your watch needs to have more than 50 percent power and connected to a charger. Like most Apple Watch updates, it could take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour to complete, so be patient.<\/p>\n
With tvOS 26.2, you can now make profiles with choosing to tie it into a specific Apple account. <\/p>\n
An update should automatically be downloaded to an Apple TV HD or Apple TV 4K.<\/p>\n
If you haven\u2019t already enabled automatic updates, you can download the software by heading to Settings > System > Software Updates > Update Software<\/strong>. Right next to the button to update software is the toggle switch to turn on automatic updates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
