There are times when we’re short on time to read a 10-minute-long article, even if it contains important information. But fear not! If you are someone who loves getting information from some top publications online, we’ve got a super useful tip for you. In this article, I’ll show you a way to get web page summaries on iPhone.
Artificial Intelligence, AI, in short, is the hot talk in the town right now. We’ve seen a plethora of AI features hitting Android smartphones every other day now. One of the best features on the Pixel phones as well as Galaxy AI phones is the Web Page Summaries.
Sadly, the feature isn’t available for iPhone users even on the latest iOS 17 build. You can’t even summarize a web page by asking Siri.
Fortunately, there’s a workaround available through Google Gemini and third-party browser Arc Search. If you want to get access to the AI-powered web page summary feature on your iPhone, you landed in the right place.
Let’s dive right into the tutorial.
How to Summarize Web Pages on iPhone using Arc Browser
Where most of the AI-summary extensions, apps, and websites are paid, Arc is offering the service built into its web browser. Arc from The Browser Company announced early this year; is a new browser in the market at least for iPhone. You can use the “Browser For Me” option to get short answers for various queries and AI summary for articles.
Here’s how you can Summary any web page in Arc Search.
Step 1: First things first, you need to download and install Arc Browser on your iPhone.
Step 2: Open the browser and navigate to the web page which you want to summarize.
Step 3: Tap the arrow icon at the bottom right corner.
Step 4: Choose the Summary option from the menu box.
Step 5: You will get the summary of the web page within a few seconds.
I tested the Summary feature of Arc Search, it works well for short and medium articles. The results are less satisfactory for longer ones. For instance, I tried the feature with our 70+ WhatsApp Tips and Tricks article, which is quite lengthy at 8,774 words with an estimated reading time of nearly 50 minutes. Unfortunately, the summary didn’t meet my expectations.
How to Summarize Web Pages on iPhone using Google Gemini
Google Gemini is the search engine giant’s most advanced AI model till date, you can perform various tasks using Gemini. One such feature is the ability to summarize web pages.
Let’s take a look at the steps to summarize web page using Google Gemini.
Step 1: Open Google Gemini on your iPhone through Google app or you can follow this guide.
Step 2: Now simply type Summarize this web page: “Article’s Link” and press the send icon.
Step 3: You will get the summary within a few seconds.
Just like Arc, I tried Gemini’s AI Summary feature and it works pretty well for short and medium articles. However, the results remain the same for the long-lengthy articles.
