There’s a lot of news coming out of WWDC21 about WebKit and the web technology that’s shipping in Safari 15 on Apple’s platforms. Many of the new features were announced on Monday, at this year’s WWDC21 Keynote, and listed in the Safari 15 Beta Release Notes. But that’s not all, and we’re excited to share it with you.
Ten sessions at WWDC21 will go into greater detail and announce even more. New videos are released each day this week. You can watch them on the WWDC21 website, or in the Apple Developer app for macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS.
You can be part of the conversations around WWDC on the Apple Developer Forums, share your thoughts with @WebKit team on Twitter, or use other ways of staying in touch with folks involved in the WebKit project.
