How to translate web pages in safari on mac.

Have you landed on a French or Spanish website? Translate it to English with the press of a button!

Often find yourself on websites with text in a foreign language? If you use Safari, there's no need to go to Google Translate. You can translate web pages between seven languages right in Safari on a Mac.

Starting with Safari 14.0, Apple included a translation feature directly in the browser. As of this writing, the feature is in beta, but fully functional. If your Mac is running the latest version of macOS Mojave, Catalina, Big Sur , or newer, you can access the translation feature.

The translation functionality works between the following languages: English, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, French, German, Russian, and Brazilian Portuguese.

By default, you can translate any of the above languages to English. You can also add more languages to the mix (we'll talk more about that below).

To get started, open a web page in one of the supported languages. Safari will automatically recognize that language, and you'll see "Translation Available" in the URL bar, along with a Translation button; click it.

If this is the first time you've used the feature, a pop-up will appear. Click "Enable Translation" to turn on the feature.

In the translation menu, select "Translate to English."

The text on the page will instantly convert to English, as shown in the image below. The Translation button will also turn blue.

To disable the Translation feature and return to the original language, click the Translation button again, and then select "View Original."

As we mentioned above, you can also translate to languages other than English. To do so, click the Translation button, and then select "Preferred Languages."

This opens the "Language & Region" menu in System Preferences. Here, click the plus sign (+) to add a new preferred language. You can add multiple languages here while continuing to use English as the default language across your Mac.

In the pop-up, select the languages you want to add, and then click "Add."

System Preferences will ask if you want to make this your default language. Choose the previous default language if you want it to remain the status quo.

Now that you've added a new preferred language, you'll see the translation button even when you visit web pages that are in English.

The translation process for a preferred language is the same: click the Translation button in the URL bar, and then select "Translate to [the language you selected]."

Again, you can view the original at any time by simply clicking "View Original" in the Translation menu.

If you're traveling to a new country, you can also use the built-in Translate app on your iPhone or iPad to quickly translate speech between multiple languages.

How to translate an entire website to English directly from Safari

By D. Griffin Jones • 5:00 am, March 28, 2024

If you stumble across a webpage or a link in a different language, you can instantly translate the website to English directly from Safari. Unlike Google Chrome, Safari even translates the text inside images using Live Text .

And, if you accidentally change the language of a website to one you don’t speak, you can turn this feature on to help you change it back. At Cult of Mac , we use the feature to translate rumors or blog posts often written in Chinese, Korean or Japanese, like this .

You don’t need to select the words paragraph by paragraph and copy them into Google Translate (or even Apple’s own Translate app ). Get the entire page in English at the tap of a button. Here’s how to make the most out of this handy Safari feature.

Translate a website to English on iPhone

The iPhone supports translations in Arabic, Chinese (mainland, Taiwan), Dutch, English (U.K., U.S.), French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Spanish (Spain), Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese.

You can quickly and easily use Safari to translate websites in any of those languages.

Translate website to English on iPhone from Safari

When you load a webpage written in a foreign language on your iPhone, you might see a Translate button flash on the left side of the Safari address bar. After the page loads, you’ll see the icon with a “Translation available” message in place of the URL. Tap the icon.

This only appears momentarily — but don’t worry if you miss it. If you do, simply tap the ᴀA button to open the menu and tap Translate to English .

The webpage will reload with all the words translated.

Even images with text inside them will be overlaid with translations, thanks to Live Text. Any links you tap will automatically load translated versions as well, so you don’t need to keep activating Safari’s translation feature during your browsing session.

To turn off the translation, tap the Translate icon to open the menu and tap View Original .

You can still enable Reader mode by tapping and holding on the Translate icon, or by tapping it and tapping Show Reader from the menu.

If there’s a problem with the page — a translation is horribly wrong, some of the features on the page are broken — you can report it. Tap the Translate button and tap Report Translation Issue . Pick the problem you’re experiencing from the list and tap Report .

Translate a website to English on Mac

You can translate a website to English in Safari on a Mac, too. Just click the Translate icon in the address bar. If you don’t see it, you can also click the ⋯ menu, click Translate Webpage > Translate to English .

On the same menu, you will see options to turn off the feature or report a problem with the translation. You also can find these in the menu bar at the top of the screen under View > Translation .

To begin the process of translating a webpage on Safari, you'll first need to open the Safari browser on your Apple device. If you're using an iPhone or iPad, simply locate the Safari icon on your home screen or within your app library and tap to open it. For Mac users, you can access Safari from your dock, Launchpad, or by searching for it in Spotlight.

Once Safari is open, the next step is to navigate to the webpage that you wish to translate. You can do this by tapping the address bar at the top of the Safari window and entering the URL of the webpage directly. Alternatively, if you have a bookmark or favorite for the webpage, you can access it by tapping the bookmarks icon and selecting the desired link.

If you're browsing the web and come across a page in a foreign language that you'd like to translate, simply tap on the link to open the webpage. Safari will load the page, and you can proceed to the next step to initiate the translation process.

Step 4: Review the Translated Page

This pivotal phase in the translation journey provides an opportunity to ensure that the translated page accurately reflects the original content, enabling you to engage with the information, insights, and narratives presented on the webpage.

By meticulously examining the translated page, you can ascertain the fidelity of the translation, ensuring that the nuances and intricacies of the content are effectively conveyed in your preferred language.

In addition to linguistic fidelity, consider the overall layout and formatting of the translated page.

Let's continue our exploration of webpage translation with Safari, unlocking the potential of language accessibility and inclusivity.

Step 5: Adjust Translation Settings (if necessary)

After reviewing the translated page, you may find the need to adjust the translation settings to further enhance your browsing experience. Safari offers a range of customization options that allow you to tailor the translation process to align with your preferences and linguistic needs.

One of the key settings you can adjust is the preferred language for translation. If you initially selected a specific language for translation but wish to explore the content in another language, Safari enables you to seamlessly switch to a different language. By accessing the translation settings, you can select an alternative language, prompting Safari to promptly re-translate the webpage into the newly specified language. This flexibility empowers you to engage with web content in diverse languages, catering to your evolving linguistic interests and exploration.

Additionally, Safari provides the option to enable or disable automatic translation for specific websites. If you frequently visit certain websites that are available in languages other than your preferred language, you can choose to enable automatic translation for those sites. This feature ensures that whenever you revisit the website, Safari automatically translates the content into your specified language, streamlining the browsing experience and eliminating the need to manually initiate the translation process.

Moreover, Safari's translation settings encompass the ability to manage and customize language preferences. You can add or remove languages from the list of preferred languages, allowing you to curate a personalized selection of languages for seamless translation. This level of customization ensures that Safari caters to your multilingual needs, facilitating effortless access to web content in languages that resonate with you.

Furthermore, Safari offers the option to adjust the display of original and translated text simultaneously. By toggling this setting, you can choose to view the original text alongside the translated version, facilitating comparisons and linguistic analysis. This feature is particularly valuable for language learners, researchers, and individuals seeking to deepen their understanding of the nuances and intricacies of different languages.

As you navigate the translation settings within Safari, take advantage of the diverse customization options to tailor the translation experience to align with your linguistic preferences and browsing habits. The seamless integration of these settings underscores Safari's commitment to enhancing language accessibility and inclusivity, empowering users to engage with web content in a manner that resonates with their individual linguistic journey.

With the translation settings adjusted to suit your preferences, you're poised to embark on a seamless and enriching browsing experience, transcending linguistic barriers and embracing the global connectivity facilitated by Safari's robust translation capabilities.

The review of the translated page provides an opportunity to engage with the content in a language that resonates with you. Safari's commitment to linguistic fidelity, visual integrity, and cultural nuances ensures that the translated content is not only accessible but also reflective of the original context and meaning.

Troubleshooting, how to translate webpages in safari on iphone & ipad.

Did you know you can translate webpages in Safari on iPhone and iPad? If you’re on a foreign language website, you can easily translate it into English using a fantastic language webpage translation feature built into Safari for iOS and iPadOS. And yes, this feature also exists in Safari for Mac , in case you were wondering.

Not everything that you see on the web is written in English, and whether you’re browsing foreign news sites or just ending up with something not in English, you may find it useful to translate a webpage into something you can read. Safari now has this capability, and you can easily convert a webpage from French, Spanish, Chinese, etc, into English with just a few taps. This is similar to a Chrome language translation for webpages on iPhone and iPad , except of course it’s using Safari, the default browser in iOS and iPadOS.

Ready to use and access the built-in translator for webpages in Safari for iPhone and iPad? Let’s get to it!

How to Translate Webpages on iPhone & iPad with Safari

As long as your iPhone or iPad is running iOS 14 / iPadOS 14 or newer, the language translation feature will be available. Here’s how it works:

Now you know how to go about translating webpages in Safari natively on the iPhone and iPad. No new apps or third party downloads are required.

If you can’t find the Translate feature within Safari despite running a compatible system software version, it’s probably because Safari’s built-in translator is currently limited to users in select regions, but the feature is rolling out elsewhere too as it is refined by Apple.

If your iPhone or iPad is running an older version of iOS/iPadOS, or isn’t compatible with the iOS 14/iPadOS 14 update, you can still translate webpages in Safari using Microsoft Translator . You’ll of course need to download the Microsoft Translator app from the App Store and keep it installed to access this feature within Safari.Switching to Google Chrome is an alternate option as well, and the translation feature in Chrome works flawlessly and it can automatically translate most of the webpages to not just English, but any of your preferred languages if you’re not a native English speaker. This makes Chrome a great choice if you’re in an area that isn’t supported by Safari webpage translations yet.

What do you think of Safari’s built-in translator tool for converting foreign webpages to English? Do you use this feature? Do you have another method to convert a webpage to English from another language? Share with us your tips, thoughts, and comments below!

I am not able to see translate option in my iPad pro

I need this. I will see if it helps. Thx.

This only works for select few languages. Pales in comparison to Google Translate. Ot’s going to take Apple another 5,10 years to catch up with other languages… if at all 😢. This article is bit misleading. It does not explain how limited this feature is

I’m running high seirra 10 13 6 and when I type in a foreign website (orange fr as you suggested to test it) next to each selection is written ‘translate this page’ and there is no ‘aA’ in the selection which I guess is even better? Works perfectly and thanks for all your suggestions; I am subscribed to OSXDaily Regards, earl

This is EXACTLY why I look at osxdaily every single day.

I’ve used Macs since 1984. I like to think I know my way around the Macintosh world – which I do.

A couple of times a month, more or less, this site shows me something that I simply never knew.

Thanks for being a regular reader Michael!

How to Translate Page on Safari

It's free and super easy to set up

If you're browsing through foreign websites and come across a language you don't understand, you might be wondering how you can translate the page without leaving Safari. Fortunately, Safari has an in-built translation feature that can help you out! In this article, we'll take a look at how to translate page on Safari, as well as alternative methods to utilize for this task.

Understanding Safari's Translation Feature

Before we jump into the nitty-gritty of using Safari's translation feature, it can be helpful to understand how it works. Essentially, this feature is powered by Apple's translation technology, which can automatically detect the language of a web page and translate it into your preferred language.

But how does this technology work? Well, it's quite fascinating. Apple's translation technology uses a combination of machine learning and natural language processing algorithms to analyze the content on a web page. It looks for patterns and linguistic cues to determine the language being used, and then uses an appropriate algorithm to translate the text into your preferred language.

One of the most impressive aspects of this technology is its ability to accurately translate idiomatic expressions and colloquialisms. This is thanks to the machine learning algorithms that have been trained on vast amounts of text data, allowing them to recognize and accurately translate even the most complex of phrases.

How Safari Translation Works

When you visit a website in a language other than your system language, Safari will automatically detect the foreign language and ask if you'd like to translate the page. The web page will then be translated into your preferred language. Behind the scenes, Safari uses machine learning technology to identify the type of content on a page and translates it using an appropriate algorithm.

It's important to note that Safari's translation feature is not perfect, and there may be some inaccuracies in the translations. This is particularly true when it comes to translating complex technical or scientific language, as the algorithms may not be able to accurately capture the nuances of these fields.

Supported Languages in Safari Translation

Safari's translation feature supports a wide range of languages, including Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. To ensure the best translation quality, it's recommended to use one of the supported languages.

It's also worth noting that Safari's translation feature is constantly being updated and improved. Apple is always working to refine its translation algorithms and add support for new languages, so it's worth checking back periodically to see if your preferred language has been added.

In conclusion, Safari's translation feature is a powerful tool that can make browsing the web in foreign languages much easier. While it may not be perfect, it's certainly a step in the right direction towards a more connected and multilingual world.

Enabling Translation on Safari

Updating safari to the latest version.

Before you can use Safari's translation feature, it's essential to ensure that you have the latest version of the browser. To check if your browser is up-to-date, go to the "Safari" menu from the top-left of the screen and select "About Safari."

Activating Translation in Safari Settings

Once you've updated Safari, enabling the translation feature is straightforward. First, go to "Preferences" in the Safari menu. From there, select the "General" tab, and in the "Language" section, tick the "Offer to translate pages that aren't in a language I read" option.

Translating a Web Page in Safari

Using the translation icon in the address bar.

If you've enabled Safari's translation feature, translating a web page is incredibly easy. Simply go to the page you'd like to translate, and you'll notice a translation icon in the address bar on the right side. Click on this icon, and the web page will automatically be translated into your preferred language.

Right-Clicking to Translate a Page

If you'd prefer not to use the translation icon in the address bar, another option is to right-click on the page you'd like to translate. A drop-down menu will appear, and you'll see the option to "Translate to English" (or another language, depending on your preference).

Translating a Page from the Safari Menu

If you'd like to translate a page from the Safari menu, go to "View" and select "Translate Page." This will bring up a new window where you can select the language you'd like to translate the page into.

Troubleshooting Translation Issues

Dealing with unsupported languages.

While Safari's translation feature supports a range of languages, there may be times when you come across a web page that Safari can't translate. In this case, you can try using an online translation service or a browser extension to translate the page.

Resolving Translation Errors

If Safari's translation feature is translating a web page incorrectly or not translating it at all, there are a few things you can try to resolve the issue. First, clear your browser cache and cookies. If that doesn't work, try disabling any third-party browser extensions that may be interfering with Safari's translation feature.

Clearing Cache and Cookies to Improve Translation

Clearing your browser cache and cookies can significantly improve Safari's translation accuracy. To clear your cache and cookies, go to "Safari" in the menu bar and select "Clear History." From there, select "All History" and "Clear History."

Alternative Translation Methods for Safari

Using browser extensions for translation.

If you're looking for a more robust translation tool, browser extensions such as Google Translate can provide additional functionality beyond Safari's built-in feature. To use Google Translate, download the extension from the Chrome Web Store and open the web page you'd like to translate. The Google Translate icon will appear, and you can select the language to translate the page into.

Utilizing Online Translation Services

Another option for translating web pages is to use online translation services such as Bing Translate or DeepL. To use these services, copy the URL of the web page you'd like to translate and paste it into the translation service's website. From there, select the language to translate the page into.

Safari's translation feature is a handy tool for translating web pages on the fly. Whether you're browsing foreign websites or trying to decipher technical documentation, Safari's built-in translation can help you out. If you encounter any issues with Safari's translation feature, there are also alternative methods to consider, such as browser extensions or online translation services.

How To : Translate Webpages in Safari on Your iPhone

Yes, there's a way for you to get translations of foreign language websites on your iPhone using the built-in Safari app. Problem is, it's not super obvious. Actually, you'd never know the option was there if someone didn't tell you. But with a little setup on your part, you can have Safari translate webpages whenever you need it to.

This hidden feature has actually been around since for a few years now. Apple does not have their own translation service, so they have to rely on a third-party, and in this case, it's Microsoft. That means that you'll have to install an app on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, running iOS 8 or higher, in order to get this functionality.

Don't Miss: 200+ Exciting New iOS 13 Features for iPhone

Step 1: Install a Translation App

There are two options you can choose from if you don't want to pay, and they're both from Microsoft. The rest of the third-party translate apps in the iOS App Store either charge up front or require an in-app purchase to enable their translation services in Safari. And sadly, Google Translate , which has superior translation skills, does not offer a Safari extension.

First, for the free options, there's the Bing search app, which has a built-in feature called Bing Translator that was shown off by Apple back in 2014 when the feature first became available. Then there's Microsoft Translator, which is the backbone to Bing Translator.

Microsoft Translator

Microsoft Translator focuses purely on translating, so you can also use this app to translate speech, text, and photos, and it also includes device-to-device translated conversations. The latter feature is something Google Translate can't do right now.

This app can currently translate 60 different languages into the same amount of other languages, many of which are available for offline translations from the app's internal settings (though, offline translations won't work in Safari).

Install Microsoft Translator from the iOS App Store

How to Translate Webpages in Safari on Your iPhone

Bing Translator

Bing Translator only works on webpages, but you get other features in its app such as a new web browser (which you'll probably never user, since you're here for Safari, right?!), a few widgets for today's news and the history for the day, and an interesting UI that looks pretty sleek.

Like Microsoft Translator, you can translate 60 different languages, however, it can only convert them into any of the 44 languages available in the app's internal advanced settings. This is slightly odd since Bing uses the same Microsoft service.

Install Bing – Fast and beautiful mobile search engine from the iOS App Store

Step 2: Add the Translate Shortcut

In the Safari browser, tap on the share sheet icon in the bottom menu bar, the swipe left on the activities row at the bottom until you see the "More" option. Tap on that, then toggle on your Microsoft Translator and/or Bing Translator. Finally, hit "Done" in the top right, and you'll see the new actions available in the share sheet.

Depending on how often you use this translation shortcut, you can rearrange the icons in the Activities settings to prioritize it so you don't have to swipe left on the bottom row of the share sheet.

Step 3: Choose Your Preferred Language

By default, both of these apps will automatically know which is your preferred language based on your device settings. However, if you'd like to change it, it's pretty simple in both cases.

In Microsoft Translator, just tap on the settings cog in the bottom right, choose "Siri Translation Language," then pick your language.
In Bing, tap on the menu icon in the top right, select "Settings" -> "Advanced Settings" -> "Translate to," then choose your language.

In addition to this way, in Bing Translator, you can also access the "Translate to" language by tapping on the blue link in the yellow status bar when you have converted a webpage into your preferred language. Of course, you'll have to go back to Safari and re-translate the webpage to see the new language. Microsoft Translator does not offer this option.

Step 4: Translate Webpages

Now, whenever you need to translate a webpage in Safari, just tap on the share sheet icon at the bottom, select either Microsoft Translator or Bing Translator, then sit back and watch the magic happen.

In the example below, you can see a Chinese website that was translated into English by Bing Translator. Notice the blue link for "English," which will open up your language preferences in the Bing app.

In this next example, a Bangla website was translated into English by Microsoft Translator. Notice there is no blue link to access language settings.

Need Automatic Translations?

If you find yourself constantly translating webpages into another language, you might just be better off using Google Chrome instead of Safari because it can automatically translate webpages into your preferred language. It'll prompt you if you want to translate when visiting a webpage not in your device's language, and you can choose to automatically convert the language in future instances.

Safari iOS 14 Guide: Privacy Report, Built-In Translation, Compromised Password Alerts and More

Apple introduces improvements for almost all of the built-in apps with each new iteration of iOS, and iOS 14 is no exception. For Safari, Apple has added some useful new features like built-in translation and a Privacy Report that provides a rundown on all of the trackers that Safari is blocking.

Speed and Performance Improvements

According to Apple, Safari in iOS 14 features a "blazing-fast JavaScript engine" that makes Safari up to 2x faster than Chrome on Android.

Built-In Translation

Safari in iOS 14 has a built-in translation option that can be used to translate websites to English, Spanish, Chinese, French, German, Russian, or Brazilian Portuguese, which goes along with the new Translate app that Apple added in the update.

Additional languages to translate to can be added in the Settings app of the ‌iPhone‌, as outlined in the how to below.

How to Translate Text in Apple's Translate App

Password Monitoring and Compromised Password Alerts

Safari in iOS 14 is able to monitor saved passwords, watching for passwords that have been involved in a data breach.

You can see potential problems under the "Security Recommendations" heading in the Passwords section of the Settings app.

Privacy Report

Safari in iOS 14 (and macOS Big Sur) adds a Privacy Report feature that expands on Apple's Intelligent Tracking Prevention functionality. For the last several years, Apple has been working to prevent cross-site tracking, a feature that websites use to track your internet usage as you browse different sites for ad targeting, analytics, and more.

Any website that uses ads for monetization or an ad network for that same purpose will have these trackers on it, as will any site that uses analytics services like Google Analytics for collecting data on user behavior for site and content improvements.

Safari on ‌iPhone‌ and ‌iPad‌ lists the number of trackers on each site that you visit, the number of trackers Safari has prevented, the number of websites you've visited that have trackers, and a list of the most frequently seen trackers such as Google's DoubleClick.net.

You can get to the Privacy Report section in Safari by tapping on the icon that's two As next to each other and choosing the "Privacy Report" option. Note that you must have cross-site tracking prevention enabled for Privacy Report to work, and Privacy Report will prompt you to enable the feature if it's not turned on already.

Picture in Picture

In Safari on ‌iPhone‌, if you're watching a video, you can now tap the Picture in Picture button to watch it in windowed mode, so you can continue browsing another website or doing something else on your ‌iPhone‌ while the video plays. We have more details on Picture in Picture in our Picture in Picture guide .

How to Use iOS 14's Picture in Picture Mode to Watch YouTube Videos

Launching Websites From Search

If you type a URL like MacRumors.com in the pull down search interface on the ‌iPhone‌, you can hit the "Go" button to open the website directly without having to tap a link in the search results.

Simpler Sign in with Apple

Apple made new tools for developers to allow them to translate existing web accounts to Sign in with Apple, which will hopefully make new options available to ‌iPhone‌, ‌iPad‌, and Mac users who want to convert existing logins to Sign in with Apple, which is more secure.

Tracking Permission

Apps that want to track you across apps and websites to deliver personalized ads will now need to secure user permission to do so. Allow Tracking or Ask App Not to Track are two settings designed for apps, but the feature goes hand in hand with Privacy Report to keep apps from monitoring your app usage and website browsing habits.

iPadOS 14 - Scribble Support

With an ‌iPad‌ running iPadOS 14, you can use the new Scribble feature with Safari to handwrite URLs, Google searches, and more, with the handwritten text then translated to typed text. For more on Scribble, make sure to check out our guide .

Use Another Browser

Not a fan of Safari? In iOS 14 you can set a different browser like Google's Chrome as the default browser that will activate when you tap links.

Guide Feedback

" Safari in ‌iOS 14‌ features a "blazing-fast JavaScript engine" that makes Safari up to 2x faster than Chrome on Android ." What sort of double speak, trickery, half-truthiness is that! Is it faster than Chrome on iOS or not???

Was there a legal requirement for this statement? I dont see a reason why one would use any other browser on iOS..

Best Tips to Fix Safari Translation Not Working on iPhone and iPad

Here’s how you can fix Safari if it’s not translating web pages on iPhone and iPad.

1. What are the Requirements for Using Safari Translation?

You can use Apple’s native web page translation feature inside Safari on an iPhone, iPad, and Mac running iOS 14 or later, iPadOS 14 or later, or macOS Big Sur or later.

2. Safari Translation Supported Languages

If you don’t see the language for translation in Safari, make sure the language is supported. Safari web page translation supported languages include:

Chinese (Simplified)
Chinese (Traditional)
Portuguese (Brazil)

3. Right Way to Enable and Use Safari Translation

Launch Safari on your iPhone or iPad, then visit a webpage that’s in a language you’d like to translate and watch for the address bar to indicate that a translation is available.
Tap the aA button in the far-left of the address bar, then select Translate to [Language] in the dropdown menu. If you don’t see the option, the webpage either isn’t compatible with Safari’s translation feature or the language isn’t supported.
The first time you do this, Apple will ask your permission to process your request. Tap Enable Translation.
To view the original non-translated webpage, select View Original in the address bar options panel. You also have the option to Report Translation Issue if you see one.

4. Add more language to Safari translation

Apple says that " the availability of translations and the number of languages that can be translated may vary by country or region ."

With that in mind, you can have more options for Safari translation by adding that language to your system’s language settings.

Go to Settings > General > Language & Region > Add Language and select a language . Now, you can choose to set this new language as your primary system language for all menus, settings, and everything. However, if you only need to use it for translation, tap **Use English **(or your current system language). This will add the new language to your iPhone but still keep English as the primary system language.

5. Close Safari and then reopen it

Closing and reopening Safari can fix minor software bugs preventing the app from translating web pages.

If your iPhone has a Home button, double-press it to open the app switcher. If your iPhone doesn’t have a Home button, swipe up from the bottom to the center of the screen. Hold your finger in the center of the screen until the app switcher opens.

Then, swipe Safari up and off the top of the screen. You’ll know Safari is closed when it no longer appears in the app switcher.

Open Safari again to see if it can translate web pages. If it’s not, move onto the next step!

6. Update your iPhone

Apple frequently releases updates to fix existing bugs and introduce new features. Ensure that your iPhone has the latest version of iOS. Since Safari is part of iOS, updating will also update Safari if there are updates to Safari. You can check for updates by going to Settings > General > Software Update . If there is an update, follow the instructions and update your iPhone. Simply tap the Update Now button and follow the steps. After updating, open Safari and check if you can use the translate feature.

7. Restart your iPhone

Restarting your iPhone can fix a variety of small software issues, including one that may be preventing Safari translation from working.

iPhone X and later: Press the side button and the volume up button until the Power Off slider appears. Slide it, then wait 30 seconds. Press the side button until the Apple logo appears.
iPhone 6S, 7, 8 or SE(2nd or 3rd gen): Press and hold the side button until the Power Off slider appears. Slide it, then wait 30 seconds. Press the side button until the Apple logo appears.

8. Clear website data and cache

If your issue continues, delete website data in Safari to try to fix this problem. Following the steps below will erase history, cookies, cache and other web data. You should also note that when you do this, the data will also be erased from your other devices signed into the same iCloud account.

On your iPhone, go to Settings > Safari .
Tap Clear History and Website Data .
Tap Clear History to confirm.

9. Clear All Website Data

On many occasions, I have managed to fix issues related to Safari by clearing all website data.

On your iPhone, tap Settings .
Go to Safari and scroll all the way to down and tap Advanced .
Tap Website Data .
Tap Remove All Website Data .

10. Disable Safari Extensions

Your Safari extensions may cause this problem because one of your extensions may be causing a conflict. Turn off your Safari extensions to see if they are the problem.

Open the Settings app.
Tap Safari .
Tap Extensions .
Turn off all of the extensions.

Now, force-quit Safari and open again. If Safari is now working, this means that one or more of your extensions are causing your problem. What you can do is to turn on extensions one by one until you find the problematic one. When you find it, you can update or delete the associated app to fix your problem. If Safari is not working still, you can now enable your extensions.

11. Check that JavaScript is enabled

Should Safari translation continue to misbehave, check that JavaScript is enabled.

Open Settings and tap on Safari .
Scroll down and tap on Advanced .
If JavaScript is off, toggle the switch to turn it on.

12. Disable/Enable Translation

If you still can’t translate in Safari, try turning it off and on.

Open Safari.
Tap the aA button in the far-left of the address bar, and deselect “Translate to [your language]”.
Now, force quit Safari (swipe up from the Home Bar to bring up the App Switcher -> swipe up Safari).
Next, launch Safari -> Tap the aA button in the far-left of the address bar, then select Translate to [Language] in the dropdown menu. If you don’t see the option, the webpage either isn’t compatible with Safari’s translation feature or the language isn’t supported.

13. Check for VPN and security software

Sometimes VPN can interfere with Safari functionality.

Open Settings, then tap on General.
Tap on VPN & Device Management, then tap VPN.
Look for any VPN that may be installed. If you have VPN software, you can delete it or contact the developer for more information about how the software could be affecting Safari web page translation feature.
Also, look at Settings > General > Profiles. If this option doesn’t exist, you don’t have any profiles installed. If you see something here, it may have been installed by the system administrator for your company, and you should talk to them.

14. Check if restrictions are turned on on your iPhone or iPad

It is possible you’ve turned on restrictions on your iPhone. Make sure that Web Content is not restricted. Here is how you can check this:

Go to Settings -> Screen Time -> Content & Privacy Restrictions .
Tap Content Restrictions , then Web Content .
Ensure that the “Unrestricted” option is not selected.

15. Reset All Settings

If you are still having this issue, reset all settings and then try again.

To reset all Settings on your iPhone or iPad, head to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone (iPad) > Reset > Reset all Settings.

Safari Translation: Working again

You’ve fixed the problem and Safari translation is working again. Now you can get back to translating your favorite websites! Make sure to share this article on social media, or leave a comment down below if you have any other questions about your iPhone.

9 Surprising Uses For Siri

I t's hard to believe that Siri is 13 years old. Apple introduced its digital assistant on the iPhone 4S all the way back in 2011, only four years after the first iPhone debuted. Siri has come a long way in the years since, providing new possibilities to perform tasks simply by talking.

Whether you're sending a text message while driving, making metric conversions while cooking, or trying to start your white noise app while rocking a crying baby, the hands-free power of Siri can be a huge benefit.

Apple's own documentation of the things Siri can do for you is brief and doesn't cover nearly all of the possible iPhone actions you can achieve with voice commands. For example, did you know you can now restart your iPhone with only your voice ?

If you want to learn more about what you can do on your iPhone with just your voice, check out these nine hidden Siri voice commands.

No more 'Hey, Siri' needed

As long as you're running iOS 17, you no longer need to say "Hey, Siri" to activate Siri on your iPhone. All you need to do is say "Siri," and your iPhone will begin listening for any voice commands you tell it. For example, you can just say, "Siri, set an alarm for 8 a.m. this coming Thursday" -- no "Hey" needed.

Have Siri read an article in Safari to you

Another addition is the ability to have Siri read you any article, short story or other webpage -- as long as it's compatible with the Reader View feature. If you're unsure whether Reader View works on a webpage, tap the AA icon on the top left and make sure that the Show Reader setting isn't grayed out.

To have Siri read a Safari webpage to you, say something like, "Siri, read this to me," or, "Siri, I want to listen to this page." If you tap the new Listen to Page icon on the top left, you can change Siri's speaking rate so that the voice assistant speaks faster or slower.

Quickly find saved passwords for websites and apps

Apple lets you save your usernames and passwords across all your Apple devices, including your iPhone, through the iCloud Keychain. In iOS, you can go to Settings > Passwords to view your saved passwords for your Apple ID, websites and applications -- but you can access them quicker with Siri.

All you need to do is ask Siri, "Show me the password for (app/website)" and you'll be automatically redirected to that specific password page in your settings. Before you can view the password, you'll need to use Face ID or Touch ID to gain access. From there, you can copy the username or password to your clipboard.

Restart your iPhone

If you're experiencing a software issue, like an application continuously force-closing or a laggy operating system, you can often fix the problem with a quick restart of your iPhone. All you need to do is press down the home button, plus either volume button for about a second and then slide to power off your device -- but there's an easier way to reboot.

You can tell Siri, "Restart my phone" and then say, "Yes" when prompted to restart your device, without using your hands.

Turn off an annoying alarm

Your alarm is going off, but you're either not near your iPhone or maybe you just can't find it because it's underneath your sheets or lost in your couch cushions. An iPhone alarm will persist for 15 minutes if you don't cancel or snooze it, but there is a way to stop it with just your voice.

Even if your alarm is blaring loudly, you can tell Siri, "Turn off my alarm" to silence it. In fact, you can even just say, "Hey, Siri" and that will also stop your alarm from ringing. Unlike the snooze feature, using either Siri command will permanently turn off the alarm.

Find family or friends using the Find My tool

The Find My feature allows you to track not only your Apple devices but also those of your friends, family and loved ones. If you're tracking someone's location via Find My, like your significant other or your sibling, you can use Siri to quickly check where they're at.

Ask Siri, "Where is (contact name)?" and a small Find My window will appear at the top of the screen, showing you exactly where the person is. Siri will also announce how far they are and the approximate address of their location. If you tap the Find My window, you'll be redirected to the Find My app, where you can contact the person, get directions to their location and more.

Translate foreign words or sentences

Besides the stand-alone app, Apple's Translate feature is built into your iPhone, allowing you to quickly translate languages from pretty much anywhere on your device, including within your text messages, in your web browser and with Siri.

You can ask Siri to translate a single word or entire sentences with just your voice. For example, you can say, "Translate 'My head hurts. I think I'm going to sleep' in Spanish" and Siri will read out your sentence in the original language and then in the translated language. If you want to hear the translation again, you can hit the play button in the Translate window.

Currently, 17 languages, including Spanish and Chinese, are supported with Translate, but not all of them can be used with Siri.

Set reminders based on your location

The Reminders app on your iPhone is a powerful productivity tool to help you remember what you need to do throughout the day, like make a phone call, send an email or make a purchase online. But you don't need to be reminded of everything on your to-do list at all times, which is why you can use Siri to create a reminder notification based on your location.

For example, if you want to be reminded that you need to pay your internet bill when you get home, tell Siri, "Remind me to pay my internet bill when I get home" and a reminder will be created. The next time you arrive home (which you can set in Contacts or Maps), the reminder should pop up on your phone. Besides work and home, you can set your location to somewhere like Target or a local park, but Siri will need you to verify the exact address.

Get directions back to your parked car

Parked at an airport and lost track of your car? It can be difficult to find your way back to your car, especially if you didn't make a mental note and you're in a large parking lot or garage with hundreds of other vehicles. Fortunately, your iPhone usually knows where you parked your car -- all you need to do is ask Siri.

Say, "Get me directions to my car" and Siri will open the Maps application and get you walking directions to where it thinks your car is parked. Your iPhone tracks which other devices it's connected to, like your car stereo, as well as your traveling speed, to estimate where your car is parked.

Pop Culture Happy Hour

Performing Arts

Pop Culture

You know it when you see it: here are some movies that got sex scenes right.

Linda Holmes

It is a happy coincidence that our "What makes a good sex scene?" episode came out in the same week as Challengers, a film about a romance triangle in the tennis world starring Josh O'Connor, Zendaya and (not pictured) Mike Faist. Niko Tavernise/Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures hide caption

What makes a good sex scene? It can be easier spot bad sex, but Aisha Harris, Christina Tucker, Ronald Young, Jr. and I tried to focus on the good this week on Pop Culture Happy Hour. You can listen to our full conversation here. (We didn't originally plan for this episode to run the same week as our episode about Challengers , which is out in theaters now, but it's a happy coincidence, since that film has gotten a lot of attention — probably too much, relative to its other merits — for the sex scenes involving its three leads. It's really very good .)

Movie Reviews

Watch a tense romantic triangle play out on the tennis court in 'challengers'.

It's often very obvious when a sex scene is bad, just like when a sex scene in a book is bad. It can get so uncomfortable to watch that you have to leave the room (and not in a way that feels true to the story). One of my personal tells for a bad sex scene is when all I can think about is how hard the actors are trying to persuade me that the characters are having a good time. For example, there has been much good discussion in recent years about Showgirls being a more interesting and competent project than it originally got credit for, but in that one pool scene (if you know it, you know it), all I can see is the effort.

Lauren Bacall And The 'Sex? What Sex?' Kind Of Movie Sex

It's not always as clear which scenes are good . That's partly because they serve so many different functions, all of which look different, and all of which can be effective. Furthermore, you don't want to confuse whether a sex scene is used well in a film with whether it's hot to you personally, despite the fact that there is overlap between those considerations.

In the 'Last Dance,' Magic Mike leaves his thong-and-dance routine behind

Here's what I mean: When Aisha talks about the sequence near the beginning of Magic Mike's Last Dance , it's not irrelevant that the scene is, to her (and to me), hot. But it also makes sense in the context of the film and the franchise, partly because of the way it sets up the power dynamic between Mike (Channing Tatum) and Max (Salma Hayek Pinault). Mike is older now, he knows more, and the way he approaches a lap dance is actually different than in earlier movies.

And not all good sex scenes are hot in the same ways. The one I mentioned in the episode, from the romantic drama Love & Basketball , is sexy, yes. But it's also a scene between young adults (the talented basketball players Monica and Quincy, played by Sanaa Lathan and Omar Epps), and as such, it incorporates a tentativeness that's not present in Magic Mike's Last Dance , to say the least. As Ronald pointed out during our discussion, that sex scene is quite different from one that takes place later in Monica and Quincy's relationship, when they're older and know each other better. That certainly feels true to real life, but it's not always reflected in Hollywood films, where I would tentatively estimate that 90% of on-screen sex is more idealized and thus less intimate than real-life sex, in part because it isn't allowed to change over the course of a relationship.

Movie Interviews

'like it or not, we live in oppenheimer's world,' says director christopher nolan.

Even further from the hotness of the lap dance scene is Ronald's pick: the imagination of Kitty Oppenheimer (Emily Blunt) running wild in Oppenheimer. While her husband (Cillian Murphy) is being interrogated, she pictures him having sex with his mistress, Jean Tatlock (Florence Pugh). It goes by quickly enough that it might seem like a Christopher Nolan flourish for flourish's sake, but it serves the purpose of letting you feel her pain over her husband's affair. Her relationship with Robert doesn't look especially romantic in the film, let alone sexually charged; she finds herself consumed by the idea that he was having hot sex with this other woman, and she locks eyes with her vision of a naked Tatlock and finds herself tormented. It's not really the intent of the scene to titillate the audience, just to give specificity to the shape of Kitty's preoccupation with the affair.

What makes a good sex scene?

Christina raised another really important point, which is that sex scenes also collide with viewers at very specific moments. Her example from Bound , and the scenes between Violet (Jennifer Tilly) and Corky (Gina Gershon), touches on (among other things) her own history. It's an underappreciated aspect of the sex-in-movies discourse: representation matters in these scenes as much as anywhere else. I always wish I saw more sex scenes in movies that featured a broader variety of body types; it's still really rare to see ones that feature anybody who is even average sized. This is one of the reasons I'm curious about the upcoming season of Bridgerton , which places its focus on the gorgeous and curvaceous Penelope (Nicola Coughlan).

Looking for 'nomance': Study finds teens want less sex in their TV and movies

Good sex scenes are like any other kind of good filmmaking, honestly: it comes down to execution with purpose and care, done relative to whatever the function of the scene might be.

Whether that's spiciness or conflict or relationship growth or (as in the case of Bound ) setting up a steamy neo-noir story that wouldn't be the same if it weren't hot as heck, form follows function, ideally.

Apple to unveil AI-enabled Safari browser alongside new operating systems

Safari getting new AI tools in iOS 18

The software — expected to debut as Safari 18 later in 2024 — is currently undergoing evaluation alongside internal builds of Apple's next-generation operating system updates, namely iOS 18 and macOS 15, according to people familiar with the matter. Should all of the new features make it to the release candidate stage, users will be treated to a new user interface (UI) for customizing popular page controls, a "Web eraser" feature, and AI-driven content summarization tools.

Intelligent Search - AI-enhanced browsing and text summarization

Engineers evaluating the latest builds of Safari 18 can find a toggle for the new page controls menu within the browser's address bar. The menu consolidates — and provides quick access to — old and new page control tools, among them being the browser's new "Intelligent Search" feature.

A screenshot of Arc Search on iPhone with a summary of an article from AppleInsider

This feature is not automatically enabled in test builds of Safari 18 and instead requires manual activation from the page controls menu. Once enabled, it's believed the tool leverages Apple's on-device AI technology — specifically the Ajax language-learning model — to identify topics and key phrases within a webpage for which to base the summarization.

In selecting key phrases, Apple's LLM software identifies sentences that provide explanations or describe the structure of objects, depending on the text in question. Words repeated within a text and key sentences are recognized as text topics.

These early indications suggest Apple is striving to deliver text summarization alongside Safari 18 later this year, though the exact implementation of this feature remains fuzzy.

Apple's text summarization features could be a response to rival generative AI tools, such as OpenAI's ChatGPT. But Apple's on-device models and technologies like Private Relay could make the experience much more secure for users. Intelligent Search is also likely to be the same AI browser assistant that one X user hinted at a couple of weeks back.

Web Eraser for better content-blocking

Also accessible from the new page controls menu is a feature Apple is testing called "Web Eraser." As its name would imply, it's designed to allow users to remove, or erase, specific portions of web pages, according to people familiar with the feature.

The feature is expected to build upon existing privacy features within Safari and will allow users to erase unwanted content from any webpage of their choosing. Users will have the option to erase banner ads, images, text or even entire page sections, all with relative ease.

The erasure is said to be persistent, rather than limited to a browsing session. This means that Safari will remember the changes even after the original tab or window has been closed.

When visiting a web page with previously erased content, Safari will inform the user that the page has been modified to reflect their desired changes. The browser will also give the user the option to revert changes and restore the webpage to its initial, unaltered state.

As for where Apple got the inspiration for Web Eraser, the company could have Sherlocked the feature from the third-party app 1Blocker. The application features a similar way of erasing ads, where users would tap ads to make them disappear.

Updated UI will move key tools into one easy location

The new page controls menu referenced throughout this article will attempt to offer Safari 18 users quick and easy access to several options previously located across different menus and the Share Sheet. Running on pre-release versions of macOS 15, for instance, the menu also pulls in the "Aa" menu common on existing iPadOS versions of the browser. These include zoom options, webpage settings for privacy controls, content blocking options, extension shortcuts, and access to the new AI and erasure tools.

These various options existed previously on macOS, but were found by navigating through the Safari settings menu. Having all of these controls in one central location in the Address Bar will make these options more discoverable for end users. Other options like on-page text search and reader mode are also in this menu.

This all suggests Apple intends to unite the iPadOS and macOS Safari UI paradigms when it unveils its new OS releases during its Worldwide Developers Conference in June.

AI-enhanced Visual Lookup feature could be available in 2025

Simultaneously, Apple is also working on a much more powerful visual search feature scheduled for integration sometime in 2025 that will allow users to obtain information on consumer products when browsing through images. People familiar with the tool say it's similar to the Visual Lookup feature, through which Siri can identify plants, pets and landmarks from photos.

Visual Search could be implemented as a system-wide feature. So, instead of surfacing search results in the Photos app, the user may be able to use Visual Search directly in Safari by selecting an image.

Given development of this tool is in the earlier stages, it remains unclear how Apple will ultimately go about implementing it. It also remains to be seen whether or not the feature will make it through internal testing.

The iPhone maker has expressed significant interest in artificial intelligence and more recently published research related to on-device language learning models. This goes hand in hand with widespread rumors about several other AI-powered software features, many of which are expected to make their debut later this year with iOS 18.

Another big year for Safari

From its inception, Safari was always meant to rival existing web browsers.

Safari was originally added to macOS as a means of replacing Microsoft's Internet Explorer for Mac, which was the default browser. Over the years, the app made its way to the iPhone , and has since received various upgrades over the years.

More recent versions of Safari provide users with personalized web suggestions, and allow for greater privacy protection with features such as iCloud Private Relay.

This latest set of enhancements only serves to better position Safari against the competition, in an ever-increasing landscape of generative AI tools and third-party ad-blockers.

While Apple tests many such features during different development stages, it is important to remember that not all of them make it to release. Apple has been known to delay features or cancel them entirely, so there's always a chance we may not see these new Safari features after all.

Along with Safari 18 and its associated improvements, we should also see a revamped Calculator with Math Notes make its way to iPadOS 18. Freeform Scenes and Adaptive Voice Shortcuts are new OS features, which are also expected to debut later this year.

Apple is expected to introduce various AI-related enhancements as part of iOS 18 and macOS 15, both of which should be announced at the company's annual WWDC on June 10.

"As for where Apple got the inspiration for Web Eraser, the company could have Sherlocked the feature from the third-party app 1Blocker. The application features a similar way of erasing ads, where users would tap ads to make them disappear." They may also have been inspired by Simplified Page....

As long as I can turn it off/hide it they can knock themselves out.

Will the web eraser feature remove pop up videos, such as the ones that appear on this site?

I use the 'Reader' function in Safari quite a bit, but sometimes it doesn't work very well. Seems like something that AI could help make better.

Web ads suck but how else do you think your favorite websites will stay in business? Are you prepared to pay a subscription to every site? I doubt it…

5 AI Settings You Need to Enable Right Now on Your Galaxy S24 and S23

Samsung's latest phones have cool AI features, but they're not all enabled by default.

Unlock the full potential of your Galaxy S24 by enabling these features.

The Galaxy S24 series, Samsung's latest flagship devices, comes equipped with exclusive AI features for photo editing, real-time translations, automatically generated summaries for webpages and more.

And thanks to the One UI 6.1 update in March , the Galaxy S23 series now has these same Galaxy AI features and settings.

Don't miss : Welcome to AI Atlas, CNET's Guide to Today's Artificial Intelligence

Colorful AI Tips badge, with images of AI-related items

However, not all of these features are on by default. If you own the Galaxy S24 or the Galaxy S23, and you're still unsure about everything your phone can do, here are five AI settings that you need to enable right now.

For more, check out our review of the Galaxy S24 Ultra and why the Galaxy S24 Ultra could be doing so much more with AI .

Get real-time translations during phone calls

The first setting you'll definitely want to enable is Live Translate, which features near-real-time voice translations between you and whoever you're speaking with on the phone. Before we get into how the translation tool works, let's turn it on first.

In Settings , go to Advanced features > Advanced intelligence > Phone and toggle on Live translate . Before you start using Live Translate, choose your language, the language of the person you're speaking with and the translation voices. (There are 13 languages, including simplified Chinese and Mexico, Spain and US Spanish, with more on the way, the company said.) You also have the option to mute your voice and the other person's voice so that you hear only the translation voice.

Live translate setting on the Galaxy S24

You can choose language and voice presets for individual contacts.

To use Live Translate, make your phone call, hit the Call assist button and then choose Live translate to start real-time translation. A screen showing your conversation, with both original and translated text, will appear in real time as you speak. After you speak, the translation tool will translate what you say into the other participant's language. If you have your voices muted, participants will only hear the translation voices speak.

The translated conversation is available to browse as text on your screen in real time.

Use generative AI to edit your photos

One of the biggest AI tools on the Galaxy S24 is Generative Edit, which allows you to erase, recompose and remaster the photos you take on your phone, using generative AI. For example, if you want to resize an object or remove a person in a photo, Generative Edit can generate a new background to fill in any missing pieces.

Like the rest of the features and settings in this guide, Generative Edit is not on by default, so you'll need to turn it on in your settings. Go to Settings > Advanced features > Advanced intelligence > Photo Editor and toggle on Generative edit .

Move, remove and resize people and objects in your photos and use generative AI to fill the background in.

In the Gallery app, hit Edit and then tap the AI button , with three stars, to use generative AI. You can then straighten the photo out, and generative AI will help generate more background, or you can draw on the image to move, remove or resize any object in the photo, with generative AI once again creating a background to fill the image in.

Automatically create a summary of your voice recording

The Voice Recorder on your Galaxy S24 doesn't just record audio. It's also capable of transcribing the audio into text and then using AI to summarize the text, which is useful if you're recording a lecture at school or a presentation at work. However, before you can summarize your transcriptions, you have to enable the feature in your settings.

Go to Settings > Advanced features > Advanced intelligence > Voice Recorder > Summaries and toggle it on. Turning Summaries on will automatically create a summary of your audio recordings using artificial intelligence.

Transcript assist setting on the Galaxy S24

You can choose various languages besides English for your transcripts and summaries.

If you want to check out the transcription tool at work, tap on an audio recording in the Voice Recorder application, create a transcript and then go into the Summary tab. At the top of the summary you'll see keywords you can tap to check out specific sections in the summary, and underneath that is where the summary lives, full of AI-generated headers and bullet points.

AI transcript and summaries for voice memos on the Galaxy S24

There are timestamps so that you can follow along with the audio as you check out your transcript summary.

Get summaries of any site you visit in your web browser

Another AI tool that you need to enable before you can use it allows you to summarize pretty much any webpage you visit in your browser. For this to work, however, you'll need to be in Samsung's default web browser, which is simply called Internet. The AI summary tool doesn't work in Chrome or any other third-party web browser.

In Settings > Advanced features > Advanced intelligence > Samsung Internet > Summarize , toggle the tool on. Now you can get summaries for webpages.

Browsing assist and summarize setting on the Galaxy S24

As mentioned in the settings, these summaries are not stored by Samsung.

Go to the Samsung web browser, visit a site you want to summarize and press the AI icon (three stars) that appears in the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen. Hit Summarize and you'll get an AI-generated summary of the webpage. Below you can see a summary of David Lumb's CNET story on the Samsung Galaxy Ring .

You can copy the summary to your clipboard, translate it to another language or hit the edit icon on the top right of the summary panel to get a more detailed summary.

Process data only on your device when using AI

The final AI setting you should consider enabling is for your own privacy. In Settings > Advanced features > Advanced intelligence , you can toggle on Process data only on device so that any data processed via artificial intelligence is done only on your device, instead of online.

Usually, your data is sent to a third party only to generate a response for whatever feature you're using. It's not used for machine learning or advertisements, and your data is immediately deleted from third-party servers as soon as your generation is complete. But if you feel safer with your data staying on your device, you should enable this setting.

Samsung does warn that toggling this feature on will provide worse results and certain AI features may not work.

While you're here, check out the best phone to buy in 2024 .

Editors' note: CNET used an AI engine to help create several dozen stories, which are labeled accordingly. For more, see our AI policy .
