Apple's Safari adds built-in price and stock tracking via Notify Me
Safari now includes a Notify Me tool that lets users describe custom conditions, such as a price drop or restocked item, and get alerted when those conditions are met. The feature is accessed through the address bar menu, works on iPhone, iPad and Mac, and lets users choose how often it checks for changes.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
This built-in tracking removes the need for third-party browser extensions or apps to monitor deals, keeping users inside Apple's ecosystem for shopping-related tasks. Because the alerts run locally on-device rather than through the cloud, users must set it up on whichever device they check most often, a limitation worth knowing before relying on it.
- Notify Me is accessed via the three-line menu in Safari's address bar
- Users can set custom alerts for price drops, restocks or other changes
- Alerts are device-specific since the feature doesn't sync via the cloud
