Think of Highlights as a kind of smart assistant within Safari, saving you time and effort by eliminating the need to manually search through lengthy web content. Whether you're looking up a restaurant, researching a historical figure, or checking out a new movie, Highlights can often quickly provide the essential information you need.
The feature is particularly useful for various types of content:
- For businesses and locations, it can display address details, operating hours, and quick access to directions.
- When browsing pages about people, it might show brief biographical information.
- For entertainment content, it can offer direct links to play songs or summarize reviews for movies and TV shows.
Highlights aims to streamline your browsing by providing these bite-sized pieces of information right when you need them.
Here's how to use the new feature in iOS 18:
- Open Safari and navigate to a supported webpage.
- Look for a purple sparkle over the tool icon in the browser bar. This indicates Highlights are available.
- Tap the sparkle to open the Highlights window.
- Review the summarized information presented in the Highlights window, and interact with the information you need, such as tapping on directions or playback links.
