Apple mentions the feature on the iOS 16 features page, saying it will be coming to iOS in 2023. Safari on iOS 16 is also gaining other new features, including Shared Tab Groups, new web extension APIs, and more.

iOS 16 will be available to developer beta testers later today and public beta testers in July. iOS 16 is a significant release with major customization features and major improvements to stock apps.
