Safari might finally be getting a feature that every tab hoarder secretly needs. And yes, Apple is apparently using AI to clean up the mess.
Could Safari in iOS 27 finally organize your chaotic tabs automatically?
According to Mark Gurman’s latest newsletter, Apple is testing a new Safari feature in iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 that can automatically organize browser tabs into groups. The feature builds on Safari’s existing Tab Groups system, which already lets users separate tabs for work, travel planning, recipes, or personal browsing.
However, instead of manually sorting everything, Safari may soon do the grouping automatically based on browsing topics and behavior. In test builds of iOS 27, users reportedly get a new “Organize Tabs” option inside Safari. When enabled, the system can automatically group tabs into topics that users browse frequently.
It’s worth noting that Apple is not explicitly branding this as an Apple Intelligence feature, but let’s be honest, tabs do not magically organize themselves. Some form of AI is clearly doing the heavy lifting in the background. Additionally, the system is designed to work quietly and passively, meaning users may not need to constantly manage or rename groups manually. Instead, Safari simply keeps related tabs together automatically over time.
AI done right?
We’ve long discussed improvements to Safari’s tabs to make it better, and it’s nice that Apple is finally bringing more quality-of-life changes. This also lines up perfectly with what iOS 27 is rumored to focus on overall. Instead of flashy redesigns, chatbot gimmicks, or AI-generated wallpapers, this is the kind of feature people will probably use every single day without even thinking about it.
Apple seems to be leaning into refinement, usability, and quietly fixing everyday annoyances that have piled up over the years. And honestly, that might be the smarter approach.
