How to Summarize Webpages in Safari for Mac

Safari browser's powerful web simplification feature: use Apple Intelligence to read efficiently!

One of the built-in Apple Intelligence features of Safari browser is the web snippet feature. Whether the content of a web page is a long-lasting or a normal website, Apple Intelligence can quickly generate summary, helping you quickly understand web page content and save time. This feature is very convenient to use in Safari for Mac.

How to use the web ssummary feature in Safari for Mac?

If you are using an Apple Silicon Mac with MacOS Sequoia 15 or later, you can use this feature:

1. Open Safari browser on your Mac and navigate to the page you want to summarize (you can even try to summarize this page you are reading).
2. Once the page is loaded, check the address bar and click on the reader button to the left of the URL (it looks like a box with some underscores).

3. Click "Show Reader".

4. Once you enter reader mode, wait a moment and you will see the "Summary" option at the top of the screen.

5. Click "Summary" and you will soon see a summary of the web page you are reading.

This summary function is suitable for all types of web pages, whether long or short, complex or simple web pages, and can effectively save you time and help you quickly determine whether the web page content meets your interests.

Is the summary function not available? Please try again

Like many AI-related features, the Apple Intelligence digest feature is not 100% effective, and you may occasionally experience a breakdown during the digest attempt and receive an error message instead of a web page summary, which may show up as "Summary is not available - there is a problem trying to summarize this page. Please try again later."

If you see this error message, please try again later, it usually works fine. This error is usually caused by a connection interruption or some connection problem between the Mac and Apple Intelligence cloud features or ChatGPT that provides a summary.

Remember that you must be online and have an active internet connection and have an Apple Intelligence-compatible Mac (any Mac with Apple Silicon M1 chip or later) to use this feature.

If you don't have an Apple Silicon Mac, you can still get the summary directly using ChatGPT, whether it's on the web (basically any device that can use a web page), or using a compatible client and asking ChatGPT to summarize the content of a given URL or a specific web page. ChatGPT also powers Apple Intelligence in many cases, so you usually get essentially the same results.

This summary feature describes how to use it on a Mac here, but is also available in Safari browsers on iPhones and iPads that support Apple Intelligence.
