Apple today announced a slate of new Apple Intelligence updates across its apps at WWDC 2026<\/a>, including tab management for Safari, one-tap password updating, cross-app context awareness, and AI-powered shortcut creation via natural language.<\/p>\n Safari is getting AI-powered tab management that groups tabs by topic automatically. It can also suggest and add related tabs to an existing group. The company is also adding a page monitor to Safari that notifies you when it detects changes \u2014 useful for tracking prices, news stories, or anything time-sensitive. Apple said Safari can also create a custom extension using text prompts to modify a web page, a capability that until now required a developer.<\/p>\n The company is adding a way to update compromised passwords with one tap, with Apple handling the process on your behalf through AI and Safari \u2014 no manual login required.<\/p>\n Messages is getting AI-powered reply suggestions and a new ability to surface photos based on a text description, so you can find what you\u2019re looking for without scrolling. In Calendar, users can now type in natural language to create an event \u2014 just mention the people and the time, and Apple Intelligence handles the rest.<\/p>\n Perhaps the most consequential update for power users: Apple said the Phone app can now pull context from other apps like Mail and Messages mid-call. If you\u2019re on the phone with an airline, for instance, it can surface your flight details from your email in real time. It\u2019s Apple\u2019s answer to Google\u2019s similar \u201cMagic Cue\u201d feature, and suggests that the AI assistant wars are increasingly being fought at the operating system level \u2014 with your personal data as the differentiator.<\/p>\n The company is also overhauling Shortcuts with AI-powered creation. Rather than manually stitching together a workflow step by step, users can now describe what they want in plain language and the app builds the shortcut automatically \u2014 effectively bringing vibe coding to the mainstream iPhone user.<\/p>\n Image Playground is also getting a significant update<\/a>, with easier natural-language editing and a new model capable of generating more photorealistic images. Users can tap, circle, or brush to select and edit individual objects, and can now adjust the dimensions of any generated image to fit different formats \u2014 a feature developers will likely use immediately once Apple opens image generation to third parties via a new API. The app is also gaining the ability to generate wallpapers and contact posters.<\/p>\n Finally, Apple is updating its Photos cleanup tool<\/a> with improved infill and higher-quality object removal, and adding an AI-powered expansion tool that can extend the edges of a photo. A new feature called Spatial Reframing lets you reposition the subject or objects within a frame \u2014 using on-device spatial models combined with an image-generation model to fill in the new perspective convincingly. Apple says it works on older photos too, which means your existing library is now a potential target for this kind of retroactive editing.<\/p>\n Everything announced, from start to finish<\/a><\/p>\n Siri AI\u2019s update, explained<\/a><\/p>\n All the new AI features coming to Apple Photos<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission<\/a>.
