names and passwords of websites you visit and fill out text fields automatically with
information from Contacts. See “Safari” on page 173.

Enable AutoFill to help you fill out web forms: In Settings, choose Safari > AutoFill,
then do one of the following:

To use information from contacts, turn Use Contact Info on, then choose My Info and
select the contact you want to use.
Safari uses information from Contacts to fill in contact fields on web forms.

Â

To use information from names and passwords, turn Names & Passwords on.
When this feature is on, Safari remembers names and passwords of websites you
visit and automatically fills in the information when you revisit the website.

from the list or tap Search.

Tap a link in the list of search results to open a webpage.

Find the search word or phrase on the current webpage: Scroll to the bottom of the
results list, then tap the entry below On This Page to find the first occurrence of the
search word or phrase. To find subsequent occurrences, tap Next.

By default, Safari searches using Google. You can use other search engines.
