Apple Account Sign-in in Edge Canary
Microsoft's latest Edge Canary build includes new flags that enable signing into the browser with an Apple Account. These flags were identified by user Leopeva64 on X, indicating that the functionality is under development.
Flags for Profile and Menu Integration
Two specific flags have been noted: one allows Apple Account sign-in for Edge profiles, and the other adds an Apple sign-in button to the profile menu. This integration is similar to the existing Google Account sign-in option in Edge.
Controlled Rollout in Edge Beta
Microsoft's release notes for Edge Beta version 152 also mention Apple Account sign-in, confirming its rollout on Windows and macOS. The company states this is a controlled rollout, meaning it may not be immediately available to all beta users.
User Impact
Once fully implemented, this feature will allow Apple users to sign into an Edge profile using their existing Apple Account. This provides an alternative to creating or using a Microsoft Account for browser profile management.
