Try These 3 iOS 27 Safari Settings to Get More Out of Apple’s Browser

iOS 27's Safari browser brings a handful of new features to enhance user experience, powered by Apple Intelligence. One such feature is the "Notify Me" tool, allowing users to receive instant price-drop notifications while shopping online. To set this up, users must navigate to the desired webpage, tap the three-lined menu icon, and scroll halfway down to enable the feature. Here, users can specify the type of content change they want to track and the frequency of scans.

Another feature, "Describe an Extension," is akin to the existing "Describe a Shortcut" feature. It allows users to generate custom extensions for Safari by typing the desired functionality. Suggestions include displaying reading time estimates as badges, making web pages grayscale to maintain focus, and even adding whimsical features like fireworks upon tapping. Users can activate these generated extensions and enjoy their effects.

The "Organize Tabs" feature, found in the tab view accessible via two overlapping squares at the bottom-right corner, helps users manage their numerous tabs more efficiently. By choosing to have Safari automatically create topics based on existing tabs, the browser can group related websites together. This proved effective for organizing tabs related to a single topic, such as WIRED articles or upcoming events.
