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.

Tap AutoFill instead of typing your contact info.

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 and turn on Use Contact Info. Then, tap AutoFill above the onscreen keyboard when you’re filling in the form. Not all websites support AutoFill.

Enter your credit card information. Go to Settings > Safari > Passwords & Autofill and save your credit card information (or accept Safari’s offer to save it for you when you make a purchase), then 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 iPad, you might want to start; see Use a passcode with data protection on page 33.

Submit the 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.

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.
