macOS 26.4: Four new features are coming to your Mac

macOS Tahoe 26.4 is coming soon as the next software update for your Mac. Here are four new features included in macOS 26.4.

#1: Battery Charge Limit

iPhone, iPad, and AirPods all have built-in features that let you limit their max charge level. And now with macOS 26.4, the Mac joins that list.

‘Charge Limit’ is a new macOS 26.4 feature that lets you set your MacBook’s maximum charge limit to less than 100%.

You can choose anywhere from 80-100% as your preferred limit. Setting a lower limit, per Apple, can “help prolong your battery’s lifespan.”

The new setting is available inside System Settings’ Battery menu. Just click the ‘i’ next to ‘Charging.’

#2: Safari’s Compact Tab Bar

If you enjoyed Safari’s ‘Compact Tab Bar’ setting that used to be available in macOS, Apple is bringing it back in macOS 26.4.

Apparently in response to more outcry than expected over the removal, Apple has restored ‘Compact Tab Bar’ as an option in Safari’s settings.

Compact Tab Bar lets you see more of a webpage on-screen at a time. It’s therefore especially useful on smaller laptop displays.
