In this episode, Thomas Domville explores the \\u2018Listen to Page\\u2019 feature on iOS 17. This feature allows your device to read aloud the content of a webpage, making it an excellent tool for multitaskers who want to consume text content while on the move.

To use the feature, ensure that your device is updated to iOS 17 and launch Safari. Visit the desired webpage and locate the Page Settings icon at the bottom left of the webpage. Tap it and select \\u2018Listen to Page\\u2019 to start the narration. To pause, tap the Page Settings icon again and choose \\u2018Pause Listening\\u2019. When you\\u2019re ready to continue, tap the Page Settings icon and select \\u2018Resume Listening\\u2019.

Please note that \\u2018Listen to Page\\u2019 may not support webpages with interactive features or minimal text. However, if a webpage supports Reader mode, it\\u2019s likely to support \\u2018Listen to Page\\u2019 as well. The feature remembers where you left off, so you can resume listening from the same spot. You can also customize the voice of the spoken audio in your iOS settings at any time.
