Source: Apple's Safari browser welcomes new collaboration and security features Browsing in Safari is even more secure with passkeys, a new generation of credentials that cannot be phished or leaked, making them more secure and easier to use.
Passkeys replace passwords, use Touch ID or Face ID for biometric identification, and sync securely with end-to-end encryption using iCloud Keychain, and are common across Apple devices like iPad, iPhone, and Mac. As a collaborative effort with the FIDO Alliance, Google, and Microsoft, the passkey will work across apps and websites, allowing users to log into websites or apps on non-Apple devices with just their iPad. Safari also adds Shared Tab Groups to share websites in bulk with friends and family, making adding tabs smoother and seeing what others are viewing. iPad Welcomes Weather App Tailored to take full advantage of the beautiful screen, the Weather app brings immersive animations, detailed maps and an interactive weather forecast module to iPad.
With just one click, users can view the most critical weather information, as well as precipitation, air quality and temperature through the map. Users will be notified when severe weather alerts are issued in their area, and can also view air quality levels by color coding.
