Most internet browsers let you make Tab Groups. These are like folders for your tabs - they let you keep a set of tabs in one location, and another set of tabs in a different location. This is a great way to keep all your saved sites separated and organized.
Tab Groups are now available in Safari, too. With Safari's new updates, you can create and manage Tab Groups on both your iPhone and Mac computer.
Here's how to do it on either device.
