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
iPod touch 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

iCloud Keychain

on page 38.

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 iPod touch, you might want to start; see

Use

a passcode with data protection

on page 38.

Submit a form. Tap Go, Search, or the link on the webpage.

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
iPod touch, go to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data.
