Is the iPhone default browser bar annoying you? Here's how to move it

In iOS 15, Apple added the ability to move the Safari search and address bar to the top or bottom of the screen. Here's how to move it where you want.

• Patrick's play The Cowboy is included in the Best American Short Plays 2011-12 anthology. He co-wrote and starred in the short film Baden Krunk that won the Best Wisconsin Short Film award at the Milwaukee Short Film Festival.

The tab bar in Safari can live at the bottom of your screen in iOS 15. But if you don't like that, it's easy to get it back to the top.

One of Apple's new iOS 15 features for the iPhone is the option to move the Safari search bar to the bottom of the screen. Whether you have a new iPhone 13 or you're still rocking an iPhone 7 (no shame!), having the search and address bar at the bottom can help with one-handed navigation. The new feature is a more significant change than it might seem, but it's been overshadowed by bigger additions like FaceTime call weblinks for friends on Android and Windows .

Since 2007, the Safari address bar has been at the top of the iPhone's screen, so if you're a longtime iPhone owner you're likely used to it being there. (Note that sometimes this bar is also called an address bar, other times it's called a tab bar or search bar.)

If you tried the new lower address bar position and don't like it, or accidentally moved it to the bottom, I'm here to help you move the Safari search bar back to the top.

Move the Safari search bar back to the top

There are a couple of ways to move the address bar. The first is to tap the AA button in Safari and select Show Top Address Bar . And that's it. If you want to move it back to the bottom of the screen, tap the AA button in Safari and select Show Bottom Tab Bar.

Another way to move the address bar, is to go into Settings and tap on Safari . Scroll down to the Tabs section. From there you can tap Tab Bar to have everything on the bottom. Or you can tap Single Tab to have the bar at the top of the screen.

Now you have control of your Safari search bar position, take a look at some other things you should know about your iPhone and iOS 15:

How to use the iOS Safari Reader Mode

The iOS Safari Reader tool is designed to cut out ads and distractions

You should learn how to use the iOS Safari Reader if, like the rest of the entire population of Earth, you don't like ads and other distractions getting in the way of your online browsing experience. 

See, while ads are necessary to the functioning of many websites, including Tom's Guide, we know they can be annoying sometimes. It's also not uncommon to stumble across a page that is totally dominated by ads, which can hamper your ability to read through the text on a page.

Thankfully, as you'd expect from one of the best phones out there, the iPhone has a built-in way to clear the clutter and let you see webpages more clearly. It's called Reader, and it's built into iOS Safari.

Want to learn how to use the iOS Safari Reader? Of course you do, so read on!

How to use the iOS Safari Reader

Note: not every website or webpage support Reader, but many do. We'll show you how to identify this and how to enable Reader to turn on automatically whenever possible.

This process is the same on iOS and iPadOS.

1.Tap AA on a webpage

Open a webpage in Safari and tap the AA icon , top left, next to the URL bar.

2. Tap Show Reader

Tap Show Reader from the dropdown menu. You can also adjust text size from this menu using the small or large A buttons at the top.

You'll now have a page in Reader format, with no distractions and just the text and images displayed.

Sign up to get the BEST of Tom’s Guide direct to your inbox.

Upgrade your life with a daily dose of the biggest tech news, lifestyle hacks and our curated analysis. Be the first to know about cutting-edge gadgets and the hottest deals.

To exit the Reader, simply tap the AA icon again and select Hide Reader .

How to use iOS Safari Reader automatically

Alternatively, if you'd like to set the Reader to come on whenever it can, you can follow these steps. This might not result in the best experience on certain websites, though.

1. Go to Settings > Safari

Open the Settings app , scroll down and tap Safari .

2. Tap Reader

Scroll down and tap Reader .

3. Toggle on All Websites

Toggle on All Websites and, voila, Safari will now display any applicable pages in Reader mode where possible. This is basically like an automatic ad blocker, at the expense of some page functionality and styling.

How to Read Aloud a Webpage on Safari on iPhone

Are you feeling too lazy to read blog posts or scroll through longer articles? If you have an iPhone, you can let Safari browser read aloud the content of a webpage for you. iOS and iPhones always keep improving through the years in terms of features. With iOS 17 on your iPhone, you can hear the webpage just as you hear a podcast.

This new iOS feature is called “Listen to Page”. While Safari reads out the page content, you can control the playback speed. You can increase it or decrease it at your convenience. Somehow, if you have not stepped up the software on your iPhone to iOS 17, you can use an alternative feature instead of Listen to Page. I have explained both methods in this guide.

Page Contents

How to Use the Listen to Web Page Feature on iPhone

If you have not updated to iOS 17, do it first. Go to Settings > General > Software Update to find the latest build of iOS 17 that is available for download. After updating the iOS, you can follow the steps mentioned below.

• Open the Safari app on your iPhone.
• Access any website of your choice. [ preferably the one with blogs ]

Now, the Safari will start to narrate the page content. On the URL bar, you will see a speaker icon.

You can hear the audio through the iPhone speakers. If you have connected any wired earphones or Bluetooth in-ears to the iPhone, the audio playback will run through the same.

How to Control Playback Speed on Listen to Page Feature

All the playback controls can be accessed through the speaker icon on the URL bar of the page in Safari.

• Tap the speaker icon to reveal a menu.
• Pause/Play the content by tapping the Play/Pause button.
• Tap on Speaking Rate to increase the speed of narration.
• Use the icons on either side of the play/pause button to skip to the next sentence in the blog or repeat the previous line.

Control Listen to Page Playback from the Lockscreen

While Safari is narrating the content on a blog, you can lock your iPhone. The controls will appear on the lock screen.  You can see the time left for the completion of the narration. The Play/Pause button is there in the middle.

• You can swipe the streaming buffer to go forth or back in the article narration.
• Tap the + icon to go ten seconds ahead

Apart from these basic controls, the Listen to Page feature has no other features.

How to Narrate Web Content on an iPhone Not Running on iOS 17

If your iPhone is not updated to iOS 17, you cannot use the Listen to Page feature. However, there is a similar feature in the Accessibility that you can put to use. It is called the Speak Screen feature.

It is not technically efficient when you compare it with Listen to Page. Listen to Page will narrate the web content only whereas the Speak Screen will also include narrating the Ads on the page and other content.

Speak Screen is an accessibility feature for visually challenged iPhone users to listen to content on the screen. However, everyone with an iPhone can try out the feature.

• Open the Settings app.
• Go to Accessibility > Spoken Content .

• Launch Safari and access any blog website on it.
• Swipe down with two fingers from the top of the screen to hear the content on the page.
• A player will show up with some controls.
• The controls include the Play/Pause button and forward/backward buttons.
• There is a change narration speed button to manage the speed at which the voice will speak out the content.

Frequently Asked Questions(FAQs)

Why listen to page feature is not showing in safari.

Listen to Page feature is supported on iOS 17. Your iPhone needs to be updated to iOS 17 to use the feature on the Safari browser.

Does Listen to Page Depend on the Internet to Function?

Yes, to completely load a webpage, Safari will depend on the internet connection. The content narration by Safari will start only when a page loads entirely.

Listen to Page Feature is Greyed Out on Safari?

The Listen to Page feature is greyed out when the language of the blog site is unsupported by Siri.

Bottom Line

If you are tired and do not want to strain your eyes going through an entire webpage of text content filled with ads and other components, use the Listen to Page feature on Safari. You can relax or get busy doing other things without glancing at the webpage while listening to the content through narration by Safari on your iPhone.

How to Listen to Articles in Safari on Your iPhone or iPad

Focus on more important tasks while Siri reads articles for you.

Key Takeaways

• Safari's "Listen to Page" feature allows you to listen to articles on the go, making it easier to find time to read web content.
• To use this feature, make sure the website is compatible with Safari's Reader View, indicated by a document icon in the address bar.
• Tap the Aa icon and select "Listen to Page" to access playback controls like pausing or changing the speaking rate. Alternatively, say, "Hey Siri, read this!" when you're on a supported webpage.

If you often struggle to find the time to read articles on the web, Safari's "Listen to Page" feature in iOS 17 might be the answer. You can now listen to articles while you're on the go, and here's how to use it.

How to Use Safari's Listen to Page Feature on an iPhone or iPad

For the Listen to Page feature to work, you need the website—whose content you want to be read—to be compatible with the Reader View in Safari . An easy way to tell whether a webpage supports Reader View is by looking for a document icon on the left side of the address bar that appears momentarily when you load a page.

If available, you can proceed with the steps below to use Safari's Listen to Page feature:

• Launch Safari and open the article you want Siri to read to you.
• Tap the Aa icon in the address bar and choose the Listen to Page option from the pop-up menu.

Siri will now begin reading the article, and a speaker icon indicating the same will appear in the address bar. Tap the speaker icon and select Listening Controls from the pop-up menu to reveal control options.

From this pop-up, you can pause/resume the playback, jump to the next sentence, go back to the previous sentence, change Siri's speaking rate, and end the listening session.

iOS also puts playback controls on the Lock Screen for quick and easy access. And if you don't like the voice of the spoken content, you can change it by simply changing Siri's voice on your iPhone .

Alternatively, you can ask Siri to read an article for you once you have a supported webpage open by saying, "Hey Siri, Read this!" or "Hey Siri, I want to listen to this page." Once Siri starts reading, you can access and use the listening controls like we mentioned above.

Siri Can Read Articles When You're on the Go

The ability to listen to a webpage is a nifty addition to Safari. The feature works pretty well, and Siri manages to read out content in a way that's easy to comprehend. It's ideal when you want to catch up on some web content hands-free; you can put it to good use while driving.

12 awesome safari features you should be using on iphone.

Safari is your iPhone's default web browser, and it's full of features and tricks you might not know about.

Quick Links

Icloud private relay, safari extensions, advanced privacy features, reader mode, the "website settings" menu, reading list, tab groups (and shortcuts), private browsing (and shortcuts), "add to home screen" web apps, autofill and apple pay, and lastly... duckduckgo, more safari tips.

Apple's mobile browser is packed with features. They make it easier to track and read online content, protect your privacy, and keep things organized. Here's a list of the best features that all iPhone owners need to know about.

Apple launched the iCloud Private Relay beta in 2021, as a way of anonymizing web traffic in the Safari browser. You can use iCloud Private Relay if you pay for any tier of iCloud (known as an iCloud+ subscription ) or use Apple One .

Private Relay isn't a VPN, and you can't use both a VPN and iCloud Private Relay at the same time. The service works by sending web requests over two hops: the first (operated by Apple) can see your IP address but encrypts your request and DNS records, while the second (operated by a third party) assigns a random IP address and decrypts your web request.

The idea is that neither Apple nor the third party can connect the dots and know who is visiting a specific website. The service has had its hiccups with unclear error messages , unscheduled downtime , and some carriers taking a dislike to the service . But it works as advertised most of the time, so it's worth turning on if you're concerned about privacy.

Enable iCloud Private Relay (or turn it off) by launching the Settings app and tapping on your name at the top of the screen. From here navigate to iCloud > iCloud Private Relay and enable the service.

Safari gained the ability to use extensions with the arrival of iOS 15. This allows you to vastly expand the capabilities of Apple's browser with third-party add-ons, though you'll need to go through Apple's channels to do so.

You'll find Safari extensions in the App Store. Launch the App Store app then tap on "Apps" at the bottom of the screen. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and find the "Safari Extensions" category under Top Categories (tap "See All" if it's not visible). From here you can install extensions just as you would any other app.

Many apps are bundled with Safari extensions (just like Apple Watch apps and Home screen widgets ). You can enable or disable these under Settings > Safari > Extensions. This includes content blockers (for blocking online advertisements and trackers) plus regular extensions that expand on the browser's core functionality.

We've put together a list of our favorite Safari for iPhone and iPad extensions , which allow you to do things like enable picture-in-picture video anywhere, disable Google AMP webpages , and bring dark mode to websites that don't explicitly support it.

Safari has a few privacy settings that you may have already enabled, but it's worth checking they're on if you're concerned about online privacy. Head to Settings > Safari and scroll down to the "Privacy & Security" section.

You can enable "Prevent Cross-Site Tracking" to block advertisers and their cookies from tracking you across the web. This, in theory, prevents advertisers from building up a profile of you based on the websites you visit. Safari was the first mainstream browser to block third-party cookies by default.

You can also enable " Hide IP Address " if you're using iCloud Private Relay to prevent both trackers and websites from seeing this information. This feature attempts to foil advertisers' attempts to profile you based on your IP.

You can also disable "Privacy Preserving Ad Measurement" (which is on by default) to further limit tracking. While the feature may sound like something you should leave on, it's a way of sharing information with advertisers about your interactions in a "private" way.

You can enable Reader mode on most websites by tapping and holding the "AA" button to the left of a website URL in Safari's Address bar. You can also tap this button and then choose "Show Reader" if you'd rather do it in two taps. When you do this, Safari will strip out everything except the content on the webpage and present it to you in a customizable format.

This is great for several reasons. To start with, it eliminates irritating advertisements (including ones that refresh while you're trying to read, shifting the content up and down the page). It also strips out formatting or website styles that may make it harder to read, like odd font choices and distracting colors.

You can customize Reader by tapping on the "AA" icon in the URL bar and choosing a font, background color, and text size using the small and large "A" buttons. To exit Reader, choose "Hide Reader" from this menu or long-press the "AA" button again. By choosing a dark background you can read websites in the dark without being blinded, a must-have for late-night long reads in bed.

It's an accessibility feature as much as it is a convenience, and Safari will remember your Reader settings until the next time you use it.

If you tap on the "AA" button in the website URL bar (while visiting a website) you will see a "Website Settings" option. Tap on it and you can force Reader every time using the "Use Reader Automatically" or always request the desktop version of a website using the "Request Desktop Website" toggle.

These are useful if you always find yourself using Reader (to get around annoying adverts) or avoiding a particular mobile website due to its limited functionality. Reader should only kick in on pages that make sense, so for example a website's home page which has no content beyond headlines should function as normal while tapping through to an article will trigger Reader mode for you.

You can also preempt any Camera, Microphone, and Location access prompts by always allowing or outright denying a particular website access to these permissions. Safari will remember your settings for each website. To make changes to these settings, head to Settings > Safari and scroll down to the "Settings for Websites" section.

Sometimes you might visit a website or be sent a link to an interesting article that you simply don't have time to read right now. It might even be a product website you want to explore, or a video hosted somewhere online. This is where Reading List comes in, allowing you to save websites for later.

You can access the "Add to Reading List" option via the long-press menus that pop up when you hold your finger down on a link. This could be in Safari on a webpage, in a Messages window, and via the Share sheet in apps like Twitter. You can also use the Share button in Safari to access this option while the web page is open.

You'll find all of these links accessible within Safari by tapping on the "Bookmarks" button in the bar at the bottom of the screen, then tapping on the Reading List tab (it looks like a pair of glasses). If you have a Mac or an iPad, your Reading List will sync between devices.

Keeping tabs organized can be a real drag if you aren't using Safari's grouping features. This allows you to create labeled groups for tabs so you can recall and dismiss browsing sessions on demand.

To set up your groups, launch Safari then tap on the tab view button in the bottom-right corner of the screen to display all of your tabs. From here, tap on the label at the bottom of the screen, it will say something like "10 Tabs" (depending on how many you have open).

Now you can create a new empty tab group, or create a new tab group with all open tabs. Your main browsing session can be found at the top of this list, just above the "Private" label. Add a tab to a group by long-pressing the tab view button in the bottom-right corner of Safari. You can also move tabs en-masse to a new or existing tab group .

Private browsing has many uses, the most obvious being not leaving a trail of websites you've visited in your history, cookies, or website data. But the feature is also useful for starting new sessions with websites that may have profiled you, like when you're limited to five free articles on a news website and you've reached your limit.

You can access a private browsing session under the tab view button in the bottom-right corner of Safari. You can also quickly switch to and from your "Private" session by long-pressing this button. From your home screen, tap and hold Safari then choose "New Private Tab" to jump straight to a new tab in your "Private" session.

Do you use any websites like a web app? Some services, like Xbox Cloud Gaming, must be launched in a browser window and Safari's "Add to Home" option provides the most elegant method of doing so. Many websites function as if they were standalone apps, occupying a slot in the iPhone multitasker and lacking Safari's UI.

Others operate as simple bookmarks you can launch from your home screen , which might not be to everyone's taste but can be handy nonetheless.

You can speed up your checkout process by configuring your AutoFill settings under Settings > Safari > AutoFill. Here you can nominate your personal Contact entry in your address book to pull in information like your address and other contact details, making it easier to complete purchases.

You can also use this menu to save your credit card information via the "Saved Credit Cards" option . Here you can add a new card, as well as get rid of any old ones that may have expired or been canceled.

Finally, there's Apple Pay which will appear on supported websites . This allows you to check out in record time, letting you nominate a delivery address, shipping option, and contact details all from one tidy pop-up window. Head to Settings > Wallet & Apple Pay to add your card and get started.

Being able to change your default search engine might not seem like a knockout feature, but there are all sorts of reasons to switch to DuckDuckGo . Not only does the search engine respect your privacy far more than Google, but it also lets you use "bangs" to limit your search to certain services (or even jump straight to Google if you need it).

You can change your iPhone's default search engine to DuckDuckGo under Settings > Safari > Search Engine.

Safari is packed full of features that can make your life easier. With an iPhone or iPad running a modern version of Safari you can  download files , force your browser to ignore apps , store and access passwords , and block pop-up windows .

How to Read Aloud a Webpage on Safari on iPhone

We all have varied preferences for consuming content. For example, some prefer to sit back and listen to podcasts and audiobooks while not being the biggest fans of reading long, text-heavy articles. Thankfully, your iPhone has you covered. Here’s how to use the Listen to Page feature in Safari to make it read a webpage aloud for you!

The feature is a recent addition to Safari on iPhone as a part of the iOS 17 update . However, even if you are using an older iPhone that does not run iOS 17, there’s an alternative feature that lets you listen to a web page in Safari. In this article, we want to show you how to use these features; let’s begin.

What Is the Listen to Page Feature in iOS 17

The ‘Listen to Page’ feature lets Safari read aloud a webpage and all of its text contents. It was introduced recently with the iOS 17 update and works on blogs, articles, and other text-heavy web pages in Safari.

It supports webpages in all languages supported by Siri. Further, you can also control playback by increasing the speed of the audio output, and you can go forward or back by ten seconds. We’ll show you how to do it in the following section.

Make Safari Read Text Out Loud on iOS 17

Here’s how to use the Listen to Page feature to let Safari read text aloud from webpages.

Step 1: Open Safari and open the article or blog you want to listen to.

Step 2: Tap on the Aa icon in the toolbar.

Step 3: Tap on Listen to Page.

The audio playback will begin, and Safari will read aloud the article for you. Now, let’s figure out how to control the audio playback.

Control the Audio Playback

You only get the bare minimum audio playback controls. However, the essentials are covered. You can tap on the loudspeaker icon, select Speaking rate, and change the speed of the audio playback.

You can also go back or forward 10 seconds in the audio playback.

Additionally, the playback controls are also available on the lock screen. Interestingly, the widget on the lock screen also shows the time left in the audio narration.

How to Change Listen to Page Language on Safari

If you see an article you want to listen to in Safari that isn’t written in the default language of your iPhone, you may notice that the ‘Listen to Page’ option will be greyed out. Hence, you must change that language in Siri to enable the option. Here’s how:

Step 1: Open the Settings app on your iPhone.

Step 2: Tap on ‘Siri & Search’.

Step 3: Tap on Language.

Step 4: Select the language in the article to listen to in Safari.

Additionally, you can also change the voice/accent of the narration language. For example, I can change the English narration accent by changing the Siri Voice settings.

That is everything you need to know about the ‘Listen to Page’ feature on iOS 17 . If you are using an older iPhone that isn’t running iOS 17, you can use the similar ‘Speak Screen’ feature.

Use Speak Screen to Read Webpage Aloud on iPhone

Your iPhone has an accessibility feature called Speak Screen that narrates all the text on-screen. However, it isn’t as refined as the ‘Listen to Page’ feature, designed specifically to narrate the necessary content on a webpage. The Speak Screen proceeds to read all the text on the screen, including the ones that aren’t necessary, like ad banners on the webpage.

But you get a good number of options to control the audio output. Let’s explore all of them.

Step 1: Open the Settings app and select Accessibility.

Step 2: Tap on Spoken Content.

Step 3: Turn on the toggle for Speak Screen.

Step 4: Go back to Safari and swipe down with two fingers from the top of your iPhone. This will enable the speak screen.

Now, your iPhone will narrate the website contents whenever you open it on Safari.

Step 5: Tap on the speech controller floating button. Here, you’ll find all the options to control playback.

• Select Section to Narrate: Once you tap on this button, select the specific area of the screen to be narrated. Enable this option, and tap on the area you want narrated.
• Previous : This lets you go back to the narration of the previous section of the text.
• Play/Pause: This lets you play or pause the narration.
• Next: This lets you go to the narration of the next section of the text.
• Change Narration Speed: This lets you change the speed of text narration.
• Close Speak Screen: This will close and turn off the Speak Screen feature.

FAQs About ‘Listen to Page’ on Safari

The feature only works on websites with consistent paragraphs of text content. Further, the option will be greyed out if the content on the website is different from the Siri language.

Yes, if you can load the website offline, you can use the ‘Listen to Page’ feature in Safari.

Check your internet connectivity and restart your iPhone to fix the issue.

You can tap on the ‘Aa’ button > Listening Controls > End Listening to stop the narration.

Get iPhone to Read Webpages

We hope this article helps you listen to websites on Safari with ease. However, we wish Apple added more playback controls to this feature. But we like how the voice does not seem as robotic as the traditional text-to-speech style. Further, with Apple rumored to be working on a large language model, we can expect significant enhancement of features like these with forthcoming updates.

This article shows how to request a desktop version of a website in Safari and other browsers on an iPhone, including how to automatically open desktop sites for every site you go to. Instructions apply to devices running iOS 13 and later.

How Do I Request a Desktop Site on My iPhone?

The mobile versions of websites are generally streamlined to make them easier to use on the smaller screen, but you may lose some functionality. Here's how to open the full version in Safari for iPhone.

With the site open, select the Options menu in the address bar. It looks like two capital letter A's.

You may need to scroll up or down to reveal the address bar.

Tap Request Desktop Website .

The page will reload with the desktop version.

How Do I Always Open the Desktop Version of a Website?

You can use the same menu to automatically open a desktop version every time you go to a certain site.

With the site open, tap the Options menu next to the address bar.

Choose Website Options .

Tap the switch next to Request Desktop Website to on/green .

Now, even if you navigate away, your iPhone will automatically open the desktop version every time you open a page in this domain.

How Do I Always Open a Desktop Version of Every Website?

You can use the Settings app to tell Safari to always request a desktop version for every site you visit. Here's what to do.

Open Settings .

Select Safari .

Scroll down and tap Request Desktop Website .

Set the switch next to All Websites to on/green .

How to Request Desktop Websites in Other Browsers

If you don't use Safari, you can still request desktop websites in other browsers, although you may have to do it for each site you visit.

In Chrome, navigate to the site, and then go to More (three horizontal dots) > Request Desktop Site .

In Firefox, open a page and then go to More (three horizontal lines) > Request Desktop Site .

In Microsoft Edge, tap More (three horizontal dots), and then select View desktop site .

iPhone owners are ditching Safari for third-party alternatives as EU DMA change forces Apple to give them a choice

People like choices, who knew?

Apple has been forced to make a number of changes to the way people use iPhones in the European Union following the arrival of the Digital Markets Act in March 2024, and one of the changes that might have gone under the radar has turned out to be a surprisingly successful one.

While many will focus on the DMA's requirement that Apple allow third-party app marketplaces onto the iPhone as well as the ability for developers to offer apps for download from their own websites, Apple has also been forced to make a change to the way people browse the web, too. While Safari comes preinstalled on all iPhones and third-party alternatives are available in the App Store , Apple must now also offer EU iPhone owners the chance to switch via a special on-screen page — prompting them to download a new browser.

It was the belief of some that people were unaware that there were options other than Safari, and that by making Apple explain that there were, people would be given more choice. And according to a new report, people are now downloading alternatives to Safari at a rate never before seen.

Choosing alternatives

Reuters reports that independent browser companies have experienced a spike in downloads as a result of the new EU legislation that came into force on March 7.

One example given by the report comes via Aloha Browser which said that users in the EU jumped 250% in March alone. "Before, EU was our number four market, right now it's number two," Aloha CEO Andrew Frost Moroz told Reuters. And Aloha isn't alone.

Both Vivaldi and Brave say that they have seen user numbers increase since the new regulations came into force while DuckDuckGo noted that while the new choice screen rollout is incomplete, it's also experienced a boost in downloads.

"We are experiencing record user numbers in the EU right now," Jan Standal, vice president at Opera, told Reuters as the success stories continue to roll in.

The choices offered by Apple's new page include 11 web browsers in addition to Safari across the EU's 27 member countries. The screen will be shown to each iPhone user once per year, and Apple randomizes the browsers that it shows every year.

As positive as the DMA might have been for web browser developers, Apple itself continues to struggle to try and appease lawmakers. The EU opened an investigation into potential noncompliance issues last month, and some have argued that the way Apple has chosen to comply isn't in the spirit of what the DMA is trying to achieve .

In the case of browsers, it's been suggested that Apple's page of options doesn't go far enough. Users only see a screen when they click Safari while some argue that the list of browsers they are presented with does not have enough information about the choices at hand.

"The process is just so convoluted that it's easiest for (users) to select Safari or potentially some other known name," Jon Stephenson von Tetzchner, CEO of Vivaldi, reportedly said.

New iOS 18 Safari browsing assistant feature tipped as Apple's iPhone AI plans come into focus

W ith Apple set to announce the iPhone's iOS 18 software update at WWDC 2024 on June 10, we continue to hear various tidbits about what the software might have to offer when it's finally previewed to the world. Apple has been characteristically tight-lipped about the whole thing, but a new report suggests that changes are coming to the way people browse the internet on their iPhones.

According to some newly-discovered backend code, Apple appears to be working on a new Safari browsing assistant feature, although at this point it's difficult to know what that will actually do or how it will benefit iPhone owners everywhere. However, that doesn't mean that we can't make some calculated guesses.

Those guesses are informed by the ongoing narrative that we can expect a boom in Apple AI features with the release of iOS 18, something that is also tipped for the Mac with macOS 15 . If Apple really will, as is heavily rumored, lean on AI for a number of impressive new features this WWDC, it's possible that the Safari browsing assistant feature will do much the same. And that could be very interesting indeed.

AI browsing

The code was first spotted by Nicolás Álvarez and shared on the X social network. According to the post, references were found to Safari browsing assistant and something called Encrypted Visual Search. Both features are thought to make use of Apple's iCloud Private Relay infrastructure to send data to Apple which suggests that there will be some sort of privacy or security angle to them. If that's the case, users may require an iCloud Plus subscription to use them.

Safari browsing assistant could well be a byproduct of Apple's focus on generative AI which could in turn mean that users will be able to have their iPhone go off and find information for them based on internet searches. Siri can already do that to some extent and with wildly varying degrees of success. But ChatGPT 4 can already do this to a much more impressive extent, as can similar chatbot tools from others.

As for the Encrypted Visual Search reference, it's possible that could be an expansion of the Visual Look Up feature that allows people to identify things within photos and videos, but we will need to wait and see how that one pans out. 

If Apple follows the release cadence we're all familiar with, the new software announcements will happen on June 10 with developers immediately given an early beta to test. However, the public will have to wait until the fall to install them on their personal devices. A launch in mid-September seems most likely, probably shortly before the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro officially go on sale.

WWDC will see more than just iOS 18 and macOS 15 previewed, with the iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and more all receiving big updates. The Apple Vision Pro will also likely be updated to visionOS 2 later this year and that software is also expected to be previewed at WWDC before following a similar months-long beta program.

iOS 18 May Feature All-New 'Safari Browsing Assistant'

iOS 18 will apparently feature a new Safari browsing assistant, according to backend code on Apple's servers discovered by Nicolás Álvarez . MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris confirmed that the code exists, but not many details are known at this time.

Update: Álvarez has since said that iCloud Private Relay might not be related to this feature.

A browsing assistant in Safari could be one of the many new generative AI features that are rumored to be coming to the iPhone with iOS 18 later this year. There are already multiple iPhone web browsers with AI tools, such as Microsoft Edge with a GPT-4-powered Copilot and Arc Search , which can summarize web pages to provide concise information.

Álvarez also uncovered a so-called "Encrypted Visual Search" feature in the backend code on Apple's servers, but no specific details are known. MacRumors contributor Steve Moser last year discovered a new Visual Search feature for Apple's Vision Pro headset in visionOS beta code, which would allow users to copy and paste printed text from the real world into apps and more, but the feature has yet to launch. It is possible that Apple is planning to debut a more secure version of the feature. However, the code could also relate to the iPhone's existing Visual Look Up feature that can identify objects in photos and videos.

Apple is set to unveil iOS 18 during its WWDC keynote on June 10 , so we should learn more about these potential new features in a few more months.
