If you’re tired of repeatedly filling out forms in Safari on your iPhone, then you need to know how to use the Password AutoFill feature on Safari.
AutoFill on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS is a useful feature that lets users automatically enter personal information such as contact information, usernames, passwords, and credit card information for websites and supported apps.
iPhone AutoFill is the equivalent of Google Autofill for iPhone users. In this guide, you’ll learn how to use AutoFill on iPhone – from enabling the feature to update the information that you’ve saved.
Enable AutoFill on iPhone
We’d assume you’ve already added your contact information to your iPhone. You can use your contact as is or you can update the information if need be.
If you don’t already have one, go ahead and add a contact for yourself in your address book. It only takes a few minutes to set up.
- Find the “Contacts” app on your iPhone.
- Then, tap the “+” sign in the upper right corner of the screen. It will bring up a screen where you can fill out your personal information.
- Feel free to include all the info that you think is necessary.
- Once you enter all this data, tap “Done”.
Now you can enable AutoFill to use your contact info. Follow the steps below for step-by-step instructions.
- Open the Settings app.
- Scroll down and tap Safari.
- Select Autofill.
- Turn the slider next to Use Contact Info to the ON position (it’s ON when it’s green).
- Tap My Info.
- Select your contact from the list.
Now your iPhone will use the information from AutoFill to fill out forms in Safari.
How to Use Password AutoFill on iPhone
