Safari 26 : onglets, profils, confidentialité sur iPhone et Mac après OS 26

Safari 26 arrive avec OS 26, pas seul sur l’App Store. Sauvegarde, installez iOS/macOS 26, puis Profiles, groupes d’onglets et confidentialité dans Safari.

Searching Safari 26 features on iPhone and Mac usually means three checks: whether iOS 26 or macOS Tahoe 26 is installed (Safari ships with the OS), whether you need Safari Profiles to split work and personal tabs, and whether privacy and tab settings should be reviewed after the upgrade.

Apple previewed Safari 26 alongside iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe 26 at WWDC 2025. Feature summaries live on apple.com/safari/ and each platform’s release notes. There is no separate public Safari build outside the OS update for most users—install OS 26, then turn on Profiles, Tab Groups, and privacy controls inside Safari settings.

What shipped in Safari 26 (Apple release notes)

01

Tabs and Liquid Glass chrome

Apple describes a Liquid Glass tab bar and toolbar with clearer tab overview and switching. Tab Groups can keep syncing across iPhone, iPad, and Mac over iCloud when signed in.

02

Safari Profiles

Apple supports separate Profiles for work, personal, and other contexts—each with its own favorites, Tab Groups, extensions, and history. Manage Profiles in Settings → Safari on iPhone/iPad or Safari → Settings on Mac.

03

Privacy and Private Browsing

Release notes highlight continued Intelligent Tracking Prevention and stronger Private Browsing protections, including expanded Advanced Fingerprinting Protection where applicable. Availability can vary by region and settings.

04

Reading, focus, and web apps

Reader and Distraction Control continue to evolve; Mac users can pin sites as web apps. Some sync features require an Apple Account signed into iCloud.

Upgrade the OS first, then enable in Safari

  1. 01
    Back up and install OS 26

    Apple Support recommends a backup before downloading new software. iPhone/iPad: Settings → General → Software Update for iOS 26 or iPadOS 26. Mac: System Settings → General → Software Update for macOS Tahoe 26. Use stable Wi‑Fi and power.

  2. 02
    Confirm Safari version

    Open Safari after install. On iPhone/iPad check Settings → Apps → Safari; on Mac use Safari → About Safari. The version should match your OS 26 build.

  3. 03
    Create or switch Profiles

    iPhone/iPad: Settings → Safari → Profiles, add work or personal profiles and stay signed into iCloud. Mac: Safari → Settings → Profiles. Pick extensions and start pages per profile.

  4. 04
    Review privacy and Tab Groups

    In Safari settings confirm cross-site tracking prevention, Private Browsing, and Advanced Fingerprinting Protection match your needs. Long-press the tabs control to manage Tab Groups; use the same Apple Account on devices you want synced.

Profiles and iCloud
Apple documentation ties Tab Group sync and multi-device continuity to iCloud; extensions differ per Profile, and switching Profiles changes available extensions and start pages.

Questions worth checking

Can I update Safari 26 alone from the App Store?

No. Apple releases Safari 26 as part of iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe 26. Use Software Update on each device.

How are Profiles different from Tab Groups?

Apple uses Profiles to separate contexts (favorites, extensions, history). Tab Groups organize tabs within a Profile. Manage each in Safari settings and the tab overview UI.

Will privacy settings reset after I upgrade?

Major upgrades can change privacy defaults. Apple suggests opening Safari settings after OS 26 to confirm cross-site tracking, Private Browsing, and fingerprinting controls.
