Safari Notify Me Tool: Track Prices on iPhone, iPad, Mac

One of the features in Apple's iOS 27 update that you may have missed is Safari's new Notify Me tool. Designed for things like product restocks and price drops, it can send you a notification when it detects a particular change on any website. As well as the iPhone, Notify Me is available in iPadOS 27 and macOS 27 Golden Gate, too. It works directly inside Safari, so there's no need to install any third-party apps or browser extensions.

It also isn't limited to product changes or price fluctuations, allowing you to use it for things like concert ticket availability, tour dates, news stories on a particular topic or anything else you can imagine. Tell the tool, using a simple description, what you want it to watch for and choose how often you'd like it to check the page.

Setting it up is easy. Tap or click the three horizontal lines on the left side of Safari's address bar. Select Notify Me and a pop-up will appear, asking you to describe the changes you want it to monitor. After that, select the blue edit button to set the exact time it polls for changes and whether you'd like it to check in hourly, daily, weekly or monthly intervals.

Since the feature runs on the device, not in the cloud, make sure you're setting it up on the device where you'll most likely see the alert.
