Safari on iOS is the default web browser for iPhones and iPads, developed by Apple. It was first introduced in 2007 with the release of the original iPhone and has since become a cornerstone of the iOS experience. Built on the WebKit rendering engine, Safari on iOS is optimized for performance and battery efficiency, ensuring a smooth browsing experience on mobile devices.
Safari on iOS features tools like Reader Mode, which strips away distractions from web pages, and enhanced privacy features, such as Intelligent Tracking Prevention and a privacy report. It also integrates seamlessly with other Apple services, allowing users to sync browsing history, passwords, and tabs across devices via iCloud. While Safari on iOS is restricted to WebKit due to Apple’s App Store guidelines, it remains one of the most popular browsers on mobile, thanks to its deep integration with iOS and focus on privacy and performance.
