AutoFill on iPhone is a great feature that automatically fills out forms for your online. For example, if you’re ordering something and need to input your name, address, and credit card info, AutoFill can populate that information for you. But sometimes, that information can be incorrect. Here’s how to change AutoFill on iPhone or iPad:
- Open the Settings app.
![open the settings app]( "open the settings app")
- Tap Apps.
![tap apps in settings]( "tap apps in settings")
- Scroll down to Safari (or use the search bar).
![open safari in apps settings]( "open safari in apps settings")
- Under General, select AutoFill.
![tap autofill in safari settings]( "tap autofill in safari settings")
- You can tap the toggles next to Use Contact Info and Credit Cards to enable or disable AutoFill.
![use contact info and credit cards in autofill settings]( "use contact info and credit cards in autofill settings")
- Tap My Info to edit the name and address information that AutoFill pulls from.
![tap my info in autofill settings]( "tap my info in autofill settings")
- A list of your contacts will appear. Use the search bar or scroll through the list to find your Contact Card. AutoFill will pull from the name, email, and address information on your Contact Card, so make sure it’s up to date.
Note: this step has glitched in various ways, including taking users back to the Safari AutoFill Settings page, and taking users to their contact card. To fix this, try tapping the back button, then tapping your name a second time.![tap your contact]( "tap your contact")
- Tap Saved Credit Cards, and you'll be taken to Wallet and Apple Pay Settings to select which card you want to use for AutoFill.

- Now, when you open a form in Safari, you can select AutoFill Contact, so you don't have to type all your information every time you need to sign up for or order something.
