Automated Tab Management Arrives in Safari with iOS 26
Apple enthusiasts tracking the evolution of mobile browsing have witnessed a steady refinement of Safari, but iOS 26 marks a pivotal moment: the introduction of Apple Intelligence-powered tab organization. According to MacRumors and independent confirmation from Apple’s June 2025 software announcements, this update positions Safari for a new era of intelligent, user-adaptive multitasking.
How the Tab Organizing Feature Works
Within Safari on iOS 26, users gain a new mechanism to manage the proliferation of open tabs—a common scenario for power users. From the tab overview interface, accessible via the two-square icon, a reorganized menu structure allows users to select “Arrange Tabs By” via a three-dot button in the corner. Tabs may be grouped and sorted either by their website or by title, always in alphabetical order. This organization streamlines navigation, as like-minded tabs are visually clustered.
