The iOS 26.4 update had already enabled it for regular users.\n<\/p>\n<p>While Apple&#8217;s macOS 26.4.1 release notes leave a lot to be desired, we can likely assume that it applies the same iCloud bug fix that already came to the <a href=\"https:\/\/appleinsider.com\/inside\/iphone\" title=\"iPhone\" data-kpt=\"1\">iPhone<\/a> and iPad. However, with Apple&#8217;s update text saying that the &#8220;update provides bug fixes,&#8221; it appears to have addressed more than just that issue.\n<\/p>\n<h2 data-anchor=\"how-to-update-to-macos-2641\" id=\"how-to-update-to-macos-2641\">How to update to macOS 26.4.1<\/h2>\n<p>If your Mac is configured for automatic updates, you needn&#8217;t do anything to apply this update.
