Apple Tests AI-Powered Safari Tool to Auto-Group Tabs

The test points to broader AI updates likely to surface at WWDC 2026.

Overview

  • Reports describe internal builds of iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 adding an “Organize Tabs” option in Safari that can group open pages by topic.
  • The feature uses machine learning to read page content and, when enabled, shows a notice that “tabs will group into topics you browse.”
  • Apple has not released or branded the tool, with Mark Gurman reporting it is still in development and not labeled as part of Apple Intelligence.
  • The change builds on Safari’s Tab Groups from 2021 and echoes Chrome’s automatic tab organization to help tame large sets of tabs.
  • Coverage ties the test to the next OS cycle and expects a WWDC preview, with some outlets noting the functionality has appeared in leaked code.
