How to organize and group your Safari tabs in macOS 27

Apple’s Safari is getting some very welcome upgrades this year with macOS 27. And if you’re one of those people who gets lost among so many open tabs, there’s a new feature just for you. In addition to the existing Tab Groups feature, Safari now adds automatic tab organization – and the feature works exactly as the name suggests. It uses Apple Intelligence to keep all your tabs organized without you having to do anything. Don’t waste any more time trying to find that tab you opened a few days ago.

Although Safari can now organize your tabs for you, the feature is not enabled by default. This means that after installing macOS 27 on your Mac, the experience tab will be the same as you are already accustomed to. Setting up automatic tab organization is quite simple, however. But first, make sure your Mac is updated to macOS 27. Otherwise, you won’t be able to use this new way of organizing your tabs.

Start by opening Safari and going to its settings. You can do this by clicking Safari in the menu bar, or simply by pressing “Command +” (yes, the comma key). With Safari Settings on your screen, find the Tabs menu. The first option should be Organize Tabs. Select Automatically create topics to have Safari organize your tabs for you. Just close the settings window and the functionality will be waiting for you.

You can now open as many tabs as you want (or as many as your Mac’s RAM can handle) and they will automatically be organized by topic. For example, if you open three or four web pages on GTA VI, the browser will likely create a “Video Games” group with each of them. Open three more articles with Taylor Swift news, and well, you get the idea. Everything is done using AI to understand the content of each tab. But don’t worry, everything is processed on the device, so Apple doesn’t actually keep tabs on your browsing history.

You may want more control over how you organize your tabs, but with a little help from Safari. If so, go back to the tab settings and select the “Show related tabs” option instead. This way, Safari will offer suggested tab groups, but not automatically group them. It’s a nice balance between the mess of keeping lots of tabs open and having Safari do everything for you.

Even if you don’t plan to organize your tabs with AI, there are other cool features in Safari on macOS 27. One of them is Notify Me, which helps you monitor changes to a web page. Want to know when a product is back in stock or when the price drops? This feature does exactly that. You will receive a notification when Safari detects the change you specified on this web page. There are also AI-based custom extensions. Just describe what you need, like “remove privacy pop-ups,” and Safari will do the work for you.

macOS 27 is still in beta. Apple is expected to release the update to everyone this fall. Don’t want to wait until then? Sign up for Apple’s beta program to install the update now. Just make sure to back up your data because beta software will always be beta software and can sometimes fail.
