How to organize and group your Safari tabs in macOS 27
Apple's macOS 27 update introduces an automatic tab organisation feature for Safari, using on-device Apple Intelligence to group open tabs by topic without any manual input from the user. The feature, aimed at people who accumulate large numbers of open tabs, is not switched on by default, so browsing will look unchanged after installing the update unless it is manually enabled in Safari's settings.
To turn it on, users open Safari settings, go to the Tabs menu, select Organise Tabs and choose "Automatically Create Topics." Safari will then sort tabs into groups, such as bundling several game-related pages under "Video Games," with all processing done on-device rather than sent to Apple's servers. Those wanting more control can instead choose "Show Related Tabs," which suggests groupings without applying them automatically. macOS 27 also adds a "Notify Me" feature to alert users to changes on webpages and AI-generated custom browser extensions, and remains in beta ahead of a general release expected this autumn.
- macOS 27 lets Safari auto-group tabs by topic using on-device AI.
- Feature is off by default; enable it via Safari's Tabs settings.
- New "Notify Me" and AI-built extensions also arrive with macOS 27.

Safari is Apple’s web browser, and tabs let people keep several pages open in one window. When many tabs build up, it can be harder to find a particular page; grouping related tabs is one way to organise them.
Apple makes macOS, the operating system used on Mac computers, and Safari is included with it. Apple Intelligence is the company’s name for AI features built into its devices, some of which can process information on the device itself.
macOS updates can change how Safari works, while beta versions are released for testing before general availability. New browser features can affect how people manage their browsing and what information is processed on their devices.
