Apple Reportedly planning to add new features Safari Web browser. According to a report by 9to5Mac, the tech giant is planning to add a per-website dark mode toggle to the browser for iOS and macOS. As the name suggests, this feature will allow users to set dark more or light mode for different websites as per their choice. It will work pretty much similar to the dark theme offered by Google where you can set the preferred theme for Google web pages, including the Google homepage, search results page, and search settings. The reference to the feature is searched for in WebKit’s code. For those who don’t know, WebKit is Apple’s engine that powers Safari and its code can be accessed by anyone on Github.
9to5Mac reports further that the company is also working on a feature that will give you the option to allow or block modal pop-ups for specific websites. In addition, the report shows that Apple is working on a new API to manage the permissions granted to websites to collect cookies. Since all of these features are labeled ‘TBA’ (to be announced), it is not yet clear when Apple will roll them out.
Apple is currently preparing to launch the iOS 15.4 update for iPhones. The tech giant last week seeded the fourth beta version for the upcoming update. With the OS update, Apple plans to bring a new functionality to the Face ID feature that will allow users to unlock their iphone with a mask. At present, this feature is limited to beta users only. With the new beta update, when you try to unlock your iPhone with a mask through Face ID, you’ll be prompted to ‘see below’ to unlock your smartphone. The prompt will only appear if you hold your iPhone below eye level.
