Safari's AutoFill feature automatically fills in data like payment information and passwords into forms on the web. But what if the information saved in AutoFill is wrong or needs an update? This wikiHow article will show you how to edit saved AutoFill data, including passwords, credit cards, email addresses, and phone numbers, in your iPhone or iPad's Settings.
Steps
Editing Your AutoFill Contact Info
-
1Open the Contacts app on your iPhone. Safari uses your personal contact card to automatically fill out your name, phone number, email address, physical address, and other information when you fill out forms. If your information needs an update, changing it in Contacts will also update the Safari AutoFill information.
- If you'd rather Safari not automatically fill in any personal information about you, go to Settings > Safari > AutoFill and tap the switch next to "Contact Info" to turn AutoFill off.
-
2Tap your name to open your contact card. This displays all of the information saved in your contact card.Advertisement
-
3Tap Edit. It's at the top-right corner.
-
4Make the changes you want to make. You can tap each field to make changes and add or remove information as needed.
- To close the keyboard after making a change, just tap anywhere else on the contact card.
-
5Tap Done to save your changes. It's at the top-right corner. The next time you fill out a form that requests contact information in Safari and tap AutoFill Contact, the updated information will automatically fill into the corresponding blanks.
