Get an update every time a price drops or a product comes back in stock.
One feature in Apple’s iOS 27 update that you may have missed is Safari’s new Notify Me tool. Designed for things like product restocks and price drops, it can send you a notification when it detects a particular change on any website.
In addition to iPhone, Notify Me is also available on iPadOS 27 and macOS 27 Golden Gate. It works directly in Safari, so there’s no need to install third-party apps or browser extensions. It’s also not limited to product changes or price fluctuations, allowing you to use it for things like concert ticket availability, tour dates, news on a particular topic, or anything else you can imagine.
Tell the tool, using a simple description, what you want it to monitor and choose how often you want it to check the page. Notify Me should be able to handle the rest without you lifting a finger.
How to configure Notify me

Its configuration is simple. Tap or click the three horizontal lines on the left side of Safari’s address bar. Select Notify me and a pop-up will appear, asking you to describe the changes you want it to monitor.
It could be something like:
- “If the price drops below $100”
- “The gray and blue option is back in stock”
- “RAM stick drops to less than $500”
After that, select the blue edit button to set the exact time it polls for changes and whether you want it to check at hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly intervals. Once the blue checkmark appears at the top right, you can confirm the Notify Me alert.
If you haven’t set up notifications for Safari, you’ll be prompted to do so. Since the feature runs on-device and not in the cloud, be sure to set it up on the device you’re likely to see the alert on. If you have an iPhone that always travels with you, it would make sense to configure it on this.
What if you want to delete it or make changes? You can do this by visiting the same page and selecting Edit from the banner at the top. Alternatively, go to Settings > Safari and scroll down to Notify me near the bottom.
