New Safari Can Monitor a Webpage and Notify You of Updates

Apple's new version of Safari browser in macOS 27 and iOS 27 can be tasked to monitor a webpage and notify you of any changes, thanks to a new built-in feature.

With "Notify Me," Safari can keep checking a website on your behalf – such as a product you've been watching for when it comes back in stock – and alert you when a change occurs.

In other upcoming feature additions, using the power of AI, Safari tabs that you have open can automatically be organized into topics.

Moreover, thanks to the new Siri AI features, Apple says that you can describe what you want in natural language, and Safari can create a custom extension that adapts web pages just for you.

It's worth noting, however, that the new enhanced Siri AI features that Apple announced today at WWDC 2026 will not be available in the European Union or in China when they are released in beta later this year.

Have long used other services for this. The most critical thing is how often it checks since many things something can sell out in minutes. But also Apple checking sites constantly for all its users wouldn’t be good for the websites though assume they only check each site and then use that cache for any users who ask for it next time.

This is a great new feature! I wonder how frequently it will check pages for the updates- which can be critical to buying high demand products online.

This seems like a nice on paper feature, but looking at their update scheduling (Check Daily at 10:00am) I doubt this is actually going to be useful at all. Most people want this to know exactly when a page changes, not to just casually check once a day or even every few hours.
Modern websites are already struggling big time with the amount of bot traffic, having everyone's browsers refresh sites constantly and render everything on the page to check for updates would only make things worse. It could also get you mistaken for a bot and blocked at the IP level...

Daily is conservative but this is probably why it was chosen.

edit: Check daily is what it shows in the screenshot but there's an "edit" button so we don't know what the options actually are yet. This is a justification for why it may not let you check as often as you'd like though.
