Apple Updates Safari with New Highlights Feature

TapTechNews June 11th news, Apple today updated the Safari browser and launched a new feature called "Highlights for iOS 18", which will use machine learning to generate summaries and extract other useful information of the current web page.

Apple said that when users browse the web, the brand-new Highlights can help provide useful page information, including article summaries, navigation, and quick links, etc.

The Safari Highlights feature was internally developed as "Intelligent Search". TapTechNews reported this function in May this year. This tool will use Apple's on-device artificial intelligence technology (especially the Ajax language learning model) to identify themes and key words in the web page, and summarize the content based on this.

Apple said that Safari browser users using Highlights can quickly understand and obtain relevant information about people, music, movies, TV shows and locations.

For example, when users are planning a travel plan, they can obtain detailed information related to the destination, including the phone number and address of a hotel that users may be interested in, etc.

According to Apple, users will be able to choose to play the music of a certain artist in Highlights or receive detailed information about a TV show or movie.
