It has been almost two weeks since the WWDC and from the new liquid glass design to a much better spotlight, most of the major features of Macos 26 Tahoe have been discussed. There are some very big reforms that have not been talked about, however, and some of them will be a huge improvement.
So, barely mentioned in our story spirit on iOS 26 features, here are some of the best Macos 26 Taho features that I have barely mentioned. If you want to try them, then go ahead and install taho in a virtual machine.

Apple users do not want to hear it, but in fact there are some things that are impartially better than Windows Macos. For example, the Windows tray makes it easy to decide which icon you want to hide and which you want to see. Many Mac users turn to bartender or any of the many options for this accurate reason: there are applications that they do not want to see, for some reason, do not provide any ability to close their notification icon.
You may not need an application for this with Macos 26. It has an option setting , menu bar This allows you to close any menu bar icon. Just scroll on the button section, under the title Allow the menu barStop anything else that you will not see. It works perfectly. Certainly, it does not give you an easy secondary tray in the way the bartender does, but this option makes a little thing possible without installing the software of at least any third party.
Better control of control center

Mac control center, so far, has become underdeveloped compared to equal to the iPhone and iPad. No more.
Configure the control center on the Macos 26 and you can organize various controls and even add widgets from your applications. There are all types of potentially useful tools here, so take time to customize things. If you have ignored the control center on Macos, this change can eventually make it useful.
A real phone app

Mac users with an iPhone have long been able to take phone calls on their Mac, and even it is possible to make a phone call from the facetime app. It was all kinds of climk, however, especially when it came to make outgoing calls. Taho brings an appropriate phone application to Mac, allowing you to review your upcoming calls, listen to sound mail, and even dial a number and make a phone call. It is an overdue feature, and one that makes it possible to leave your phone in your pocket when you work on your desk.
What do you think so far?
Live activities

Live activities are one of the better iPhone features, which add real -time information to the lock screen and dynamic island. Macos 26 currently brings any live activities to the Mac menu bar on your phone. This includes native apple activities and activities from the best iPhone apps that use live activities.
A new virtual disc format
It is extremely monotonous, given, but it is also very important for any person using disc images or virtual machines. There is a new virtual disc format, called ASIF, introduced with Macos 26. According to Eclectic Light CompanyAnyone who prefers deep diving at MACOS features, for him a magnificent blog, new format gains close speed to the native, which means that copying files from the disc image would be about the same speed as to copy them from a directory.
When you add files, these virtual discs will also scale, meaning that you can set the file to 100GB for virtual image, but it will actually take only the location when there are files inside. This is a big change alone. This will not affect everyone, given, but it is good to see.
