Perplexity Comet for iOS: phone actions, iPad sidebar, Finance Deep Dive tab

What's new

• Phone number actions: Call, FaceTime, Message or Save to Contacts straight from any page
• iPad sidebar polish: quieter slide animation, cleaner window-sized layout
• Finance Deep Dive as a tab: long-form analysis opens as a real browser tab instead of a modal
• Stability: fixes for crashes when clearing data and closing tabs
• Sharper favicons: more consistent icon rendering in the tab bar
• Polished bottom controls: cleaner bottom toolbars on iPhone

Why it matters

Comet is becoming the first genuinely usable AI browser on iPad. Phone-number actions and Finance Deep Dive move it from demo mode into daily productivity, signaling Perplexity takes mobile browsing seriously.

How to try it

Update Comet via the App Store to the latest iOS version, open a page with a phone number and long-press — an action menu appears. Find Finance Deep Dive in Discover → Finance.
