In these cases, we keep visiting that site at regular intervals or hit refresh periodically.<\/p>\n<p>The newest version of Safari on iPhone, iPad, and Mac adds a native &#8216;Notify Me&#8217; feature that does this job for you. So, instead of you having to revisit or refresh a site, Safari can do this in the background every hour, every day, weekly, or monthly and notify you of the change.<\/p>\n<p>But note that this new Safari feature only works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac that support <a href=\"https:\/\/www.idownloadblog.com\/2024\/07\/30\/how-to-get-apple-intelligence\/\">Apple Intelligence<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Set Safari to notify you of changes and updates to a website<\/h2>\n<p>The fundamentals are similar for both iOS and macOS.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1)<\/strong> Update your iPhone, iPad, or Mac to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.idownloadblog.com\/2026\/06\/09\/install-ios-27\/\">iOS 27, iPadOS 27<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.idownloadblog.com\/2026\/06\/16\/install-macos-27-on-partition\/\">macOS 27 Golden Gate<\/a> (currently all are in beta).<\/p>\n<p><strong>2)<\/strong> Open <strong>Safari<\/strong> and visit a website. <em>For this example, I&#8217;m visiting Tesla&#8217;s store page for their NEMA Adapter Bundle, which is currently out of stock.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>3)<\/strong> Tap the <strong>menu icon<\/strong> in the address bar and select the new <strong>Notify Me<\/strong> option.<\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1060076\" src=\"https:\/\/media.idownloadblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Tap-menu-icon-and-then-Notify-Me-in-Safari-in-iOS-27.jpg\" alt=\"Tap menu icon and then Notify Me in Safari in iOS 27\" width=\"1676\" height=\"1665\" \/> <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s how it looks on Mac:<\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"border aligncenter wp-image-1060071 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/media.idownloadblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Clicking-menu-icon-and-then-Notify-Me-in-Safari-on-Mac.jpg\" alt=\"Clicking menu icon and then Notify Me in Safari on Mac\" width=\"1979\" height=\"946\" \/> <\/p>\n<p><strong>4)<\/strong> Tap a suggestion if you see it or manually describe what you want Safari to look for.

Try changing your description. I also found that the Notify Me feature doesn&#8217;t work on all websites.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, allow Safari to send you notifications if it asks.<\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"border aligncenter wp-image-1060070 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/media.idownloadblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Allowing-Safari-to-send-notifications.jpg\" alt=\"Allowing Safari to send notifications\" width=\"1505\" height=\"732\" \/> <\/p>\n<p><strong>5)<\/strong> After setting the description, tap <strong>Edit<\/strong> and select if you want Safari to check <strong>hourly<\/strong>, <strong>daily<\/strong>, <strong>weekly<\/strong>, or <strong>monthly<\/strong>.

Plus, if an item is out of stock, they can send you an alert or email. In my tests, these native options are more reliable than Apple&#8217;s new feature.
