New in Safari on the iPad with iPadOS 18

Discovering the New Safari on iPadOS 18

Safari in iPadOS 18 has a new and improved page menu. This menu makes it easier to use your favorite browser tools. You can find it right in the address bar at the top of Safari. Just tap the page menu icon to see all your options, including simple tools like zoom and search. These changes make it much easier to browse the web and find what you need.

Enhanced Web Page Interaction

Safari’s new feature lets you hide annoying elements on websites. For example, when you see big banners or pop-ups that make it hard to read, you can now hide them. Just tap ‘Hide Distracting Items’ in the page menu and select what you want to hide. This makes websites cleaner and helps you focus better on the content you actually want to read.

Customizable Page Menu

Safari now allows for personalizing the page menu to fit individual preferences. This customization is accessible through the ‘More’ option within the page menu, where I can select which tools appear directly on the main menu. I find this particularly useful for adding frequently used features like the Reading List, saving me time and clicks. This adaptability not only caters to my specific browsing habits but also makes the tool more intuitive for users at any proficiency level.

Utilizing Apple Intelligence in Safari

Safari now has a great new feature that works with Apple Intelligence and can create quick summaries of articles. When you’re reading something in Reader View, you can tap a button to get a short version of the article. This is super helpful when you don’t have time to read the whole thing. The AI technology picks out the most important points and gives you a clear, brief summary. It’s a real time-saver and helps you understand articles faster.

Concluding Thoughts on Safari’s Latest Update

Safari’s new update in iPadOS 18 makes browsing the web much better. The new page menu is easier to use and helps you find tools quickly. You can now do things like customize where your favorite tools appear and let AI make quick summaries of long articles. These new features help you browse the web faster and more effectively. I really like how these updates make Safari easier for everyone to use, no matter how tech-savvy they are.
