Why Use AutoFill
Entering information into web forms can be a tedious exercise, especially if you do much online shopping. It is even more frustrating when you type the same information over and over again, such as your address and credit card details. Safari provides an AutoFill feature that stores this data on your device and populates it whenever the browser detects a form. The four types of information are:
Using information from my contacts: Completes forms with the information from a contact card in the Contacts app.User names and passwords: Safely saves the passwords and usernames you enter on web pages and uses these again when you revisit the same web pages.Credit cards: Safely saves your credit card number, name, and expiration date and uses the information when you use the card again. You can add new credit cards, remove old ones, and edit your card information here.Other forms: Saves other information you enter on web pages to fill it in when you revisit the same web pages. Click Edit to see what is saved or to edit it.
