iOS 27 Adds AI‑Powered Safari Features

Apple sharpens Safari in iOS 27, layering AI‑driven tools that reorganize tabs and let users build extensions on the fly. The new Apple Intelligence engine groups open pages by topic, while a “Resume Browsing” strip keeps sessions alive across devices. Users toggle the feature from the tab‑view menu.

Adding to that, Safari now supports a “Create an Extension” wizard that prompts users to type commands like “set minimum font size to 14pt” or “turn page into pirate speak.” Apple also suggests productivity, focus, creative, and design categories, letting developers prototype quickly without coding. The interface lives in the URL bar sidebar.

Safari’s new Notify‑Me feature watches sites for changes and can alert users when concert tickets drop or products restock. Users set a keyword and frequency—daily, weekly, or monthly—from the settings icon beside the URL bar. Apple limits checks to once per day at a chosen time, keeping battery usage low.

Performance tweaks accompany the AI upswing: web‑app loading, JavaScript execution, and animation smoothness all improve, while battery drain drops. The new capabilities require Apple Intelligence, available only on the iPhone 15 Pro and newer. iOS 27 beta rolls out fall 2026, syncing Safari updates with the next flagship iPhones for users everywhere today.
