In macOS, Safari includes a powerful feature called Tab Groups that lets you organize and save collections of tabs for projects, planning, or personal browsing. But did you know you can also share Safari Tab Groups with others?
Whether you’re working on research, planning a trip, or sharing online resources, shared Tab Groups help everyone stay on the same page. With just a few clicks, you can invite others to view or collaborate on a group of tabs—all within Safari.
