Apple released the new beta for iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1 for developers, bringing some advanced Apple Intelligence capabilities such as Siri upgrades, transcription advancements, photo enhancement, and more. Among the many key improvements, Safari is also being revamped with the help of the AI tool by getting a key new summarize feature. It will help grasp detailed information from web pages with quick summaries presented by the Apple browser's Reader mode.
Apple Intelligence upgrade makes its way to Safari, where you can now enjoy a Summarize feature by activating Reader Mode
With the iOS 18.1 beta being rolled out, the tech community has been looking forward to Apple Intelligence updates on various functions and features across Apple's ecosystem. Although Safari's Reader mode gets upgraded every year with a new set of features, the browser is to get a massive upgrade this time around, with a new summarized feature making its way to the devices.
To access Reader Mode, you only need to open the Safari browser and go through any web page. There would be a Reader icon at the address bar that you need to select. When you go to the Reader view in Safari, you can see a new 'Summarize' option at the top of the page with the Apple Intelligence logo imprinted on the side. You would then need to tap the summary button, and an animation will pop up to scan the page's content. A summary will then be generated immediately.
One key feature of this advancement in Safari leveraging Apple Intelligence is the seamless integration it offers across Apple's ecosystem, streamlining the experience whether you are on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Since the feature is in its initial beta version, we can expect some errors and lags.
Safari getting this upgrade would be quite useful for users, given that they would no longer need to go through lengthy information and could let the feature do the work instead. The summarize feature will improve the overall browsing experience by saving time, enhancing accessibility, and presenting information in a more easy-to-understand way.
Currently, the feature is only available in Reader mode, and users would have to activate it manually to benefit from the summary upgrade. Being limited to Reader mode can be an inconvenience for some, but Apple may consider integrating the capability in the browser's toolbar later on. Apple Intelligence can bring more innovative features and improvements to Safari as the technology evolves.
