Perplexity has rolled out a new update for its Comet browser on iPhone and iPad, and while it doesn’t introduce any flashy new AI features, it does make the browser feel a little more polished in day-to-day use.
The latest release, version 26.25.0, focuses on quality-of-life improvements across bookmarks, tabs, theming, sign-ins, and a few other parts of the browser.
One of the biggest changes is support for bookmark favicons. Instead of showing a generic icon for every saved page, Comet now displays each website’s favicon alongside its bookmark. It’s a small tweak, but if you have a long bookmarks list, it’s much easier to spot the site you’re looking for at a glance.
Password manager integration also gets a nice improvement. Saved logins now display their associated website icons immediately, making the autofill experience feel a bit cleaner and more recognizable.
iPad users are getting something new as well. Comet now includes a text zoom option that lets you increase or decrease the size of webpage text to match your preference. If you’ve ever found yourself pinching to zoom on articles that use tiny fonts, this should make reading a little more comfortable.
Elsewhere, Perplexity says tab switching and theme changes are now smoother, with calmer transitions throughout the app. The update also improves sign-in reliability, reducing unexpected sign-outs and sync warnings that some users may have run into.
The rest of the changelog is a collection of smaller refinements. Perplexity says it has tightened up bookmarks, scrolling performance, the address bar, and ad blocking. None of these changes are headline features on their own, but together they should make the browser feel more stable and responsive.
If you’re already using Comet on iPhone or iPad, it’s worth grabbing the latest update. The new bookmark icons alone make navigation a little nicer, while the improvements to tabs, scrolling, and sign-ins should make the browser feel a bit more refined overall.
That said, Perplexity seems to have forgotten about Come on the desktop, much like how OpenAI also seems to have given up on Atlas. You can read more about that here. Desktop users have yet to receive any exciting new features.
