Fill in forms
Whether you’re logging in to a website, signing up for a service, or making a purchase, you can
fill in a web form using the onscreen keyboard or have Safari fill it in for you using AutoFill.
Tired of always having to log in? When you’re asked if you want to save the password for the
site, tap Yes. The next time you visit, your user name and password will be filled in for you.
Fill in a form. Tap any field to bring up the onscreen keyboard. Tap or above the keyboard to
move from field to field.
Fill it in automatically. Go to Settings > Safari > Passwords & AutoFill, then turn on Use Contact
Info. Then, tap AutoFill above the onscreen keyboard when you’re filling in the form. Not all
websites support AutoFill.
Add a credit card for purchases. Go to Settings > Safari > Passwords & AutoFill > Saved Credit
Cards > Add Credit Card. To enter the information without typing it, tap Use Camera, then hold
iPhone above the card so that the image of the card fits in the frame. You can also add a credit
card by accepting when Safari offers to save it when you make an online purchase. See
on page 45.
Use your credit card information. Look for the AutoFill Credit Card button above the onscreen
keyboard whenever you’re in a credit card field. Your card’s security code isn’t stored, so you still
enter that yourself. If you’re not using a passcode for iPhone, you might want to start; see
on page 44.
Submit a form. Tap Go, Search, or the link on the webpage.
Avoid clutter with Reader
Use Safari Reader to focus on a page’s primary content.
Tap to view the page in Reader.
Tap to view the page in Reader.
Focus on content. Tap at the left end of the address field. If you don’t see the icon, Reader
isn’t available for the page you’re looking at.
Share just the good stuff. To share just the article text and a link to it, tap while viewing the
page in Reader.
Return to the full page. Tap the Reader icon in the address field again.
Privacy and security
You can adjust Safari settings to keep your browsing activities to yourself and protect yourself
from malicious websites.
Want to keep a low profile? Go to Settings > Safari, then turn on Do Not Track. Safari will ask
websites you visit not to track your browsing, but beware—a website can choose not to honor
the request.
Control cookies. Go to Settings > Safari > Block Cookies. To remove cookies already on iPhone,
go to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data.
