Perplexity Updates Comet AI Browser for iPhone and iPad With New Features

Perplexity has updated its Comet AI browser for iOS, adding new convenience features, refinements for iPad users, and a range of usability fixes. The release arrives just a couple of months after the app initially launched on the iPhone.



The update introduces one-tap phone number actions across the browser. Users can now call, FaceTime, send a message, or save numbers directly to Contacts from any webpage without manually copying and pasting digits. Drag-and-drop support has also been expanded, allowing images from any tab to be dropped directly into the assistant for visual queries.


Finance Deep Dive analysis now opens as a standard browser tab instead of a pop-up window. Search results will also retain their position when users switch away from a thread and later return.

On the iPad, the sidebar has been refined with a tidier layout, a calmer slide animation, and dynamic sizing that better adapts to the current window.

The release also addresses several smaller usability issues. The omni-box now adapts its appearance to prevent flickering when moving between light and dark websites. Clearing the Recently Closed list will now persist across app restarts, and deleted threads will no longer reappear when older links are opened. Perplexity also implemented crash fixes related to clearing data and closing tabs, along with sharper favicons and cleaner bottom controls on iPhone.

You can download the latest version of Comet - AI Browser & Assistant from the App Store for free.
