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

iCloud

Keychain

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

Use a

passcode with data protection

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.
