Apple could introduce an automatic tab organization feature in Safari's next major update, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The Organize Tabs feature would group browser tabs intelligently for users.

The reported capability would mark a quality-of-life improvement for Safari users managing multiple open tabs. Auto-grouping could help reduce clutter and improve navigation across active browsing sessions. Tab grouping itself is not new—Safari already allows manual organization of tabs into custom groups. An automated version would eliminate the manual sorting process, potentially using machine learning or rules-based logic to categorize tabs by topic, domain, or user-defined criteria. The feature aligns with Apple's broader push to enhance Safari's competitive position against Chrome and other browsers. Other recent updates have focused on performance and privacy tools. Gurman did not specify which iOS or macOS version would receive the feature, only that it could arrive in the next major software update. Apple typically announces new features at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference in June.
