Apple Tests Safari’s ‘Organize Tabs’ to Auto-Group Tabs on iOS 27, iPadOS 27 and macOS 27

The tests signal an AI-focused Safari update likely to preview at WWDC26.

Overview

  • Apple is testing a new “Organize Tabs” option in internal Safari builds for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 that groups open pages by topic.
  • When turned on, Safari says tabs will group into topics you browse, and users can leave grouping off if they prefer manual control.
  • Reports say the tool uses machine learning to sort pages by their content, though Apple has not branded it as Apple Intelligence.
  • The feature builds on Tab Groups from 2021 by taking the work of making groups off the user, which could cut tab clutter during research or trip planning.
  • Apple is expected to preview the next OS releases at WWDC26 in June, and this in-development Safari feature is likely to be shown there.
