Comet Browser Adds iPad Multitasking Magic
29 Apr
Summary
- Comet browser now supports Split View on iPad for seamless multitasking.
- Users can open multiple Comet windows for advanced research and summarization.
- The update enhances productivity for iPad users with AI browsing.
Perplexity's AI-powered web browser, Comet, has received a substantial update focused on improving the iPad user experience. Launched in July 2025, Comet initially offered a sidebar assistant for page summarization and question answering with Perplexity as its default search engine. The browser expanded to iPhone and iPad in March.
This latest update addresses a key limitation for iPad users: multitasking. Comet now fully integrates with iPadOS features, including Split View, enabling users to run Comet side-by-side with applications such as Mail, Notes, and Slack. This allows for continuous browsing and AI assistance without constant screen switching.
Furthermore, the update enables multiple Comet windows on iPad. This feature is particularly beneficial for tasks like in-depth research, where users can have one window open for reading lengthy articles while another is used for the AI assistant to summarize content or compare information.
The enhancements position Comet as a more robust alternative to existing browsers for iPad users, boosting its utility for research, online learning, and general productivity. The browser also maintains similar multitasking capabilities on iPhones, integrating with apps like Apple Mail and Calendar.
