We all use our iPhones and iPod Touch to help us move along the day a bit quicker, but isn’t it always great to get that extra boost of productivity out of your phone once in a while. Well, that is exactly what you are going to get when you learn how to turn on the iPhone or iPod Touch Safari AutoFill settings . When the Safari auto fill settings are set to on, Safari will automatically fill out web forms using your contact info and previous names and passwords for you. How great, right?!

To turn on your Safari AutoFill settings…

  1. From your home screen, tap “Settings“.
  2. autofillsettings1 (4) - TheiPhoneWebsite.comNow scroll down and tap “Safari
  3. Tap on “AutoFill“.
  4. autofillsettings1 (3) - TheiPhoneWebsite.comNow set your iPhone or iPod Touch AutoFill settings to either use your “Contact Info” and/or “Names and Passwords“.
  5. When you use the contact information settings, all you have to do is select a contact saved in your contact list . So it would be best to save your own contact information in your iPhone.
  6. Now all you have to do is visit one of your favorite websites in Safari (like TheiPhoneWebsite.com :) and see how well it works.

That’s it guys. Again, not that hard to do. So go save some time and enjoy your AutoFill.

    Helpful indeed

  2. If someone get's your iPhone (lost or stolen) they could use autofill to access your accounts. Does this present a security risk?

    I think that makes for a great point and I think it is a security risk when too much information is saved on your phone. I also think everyone's iPhone or iPod Touch should be password protected. I personally would just use the contact info setting and not name and password, therefore at the most they have my name and phone number.
