This wikiHow teaches you how to delete your name, credit cards, passwords, and contact information from Safari on your iPhone.

Clearing Your Name and Contact Information

• When Safari automatically enters your name and contact details into a form field, the information comes from your Contacts card. This method helps you prevent Safari from pulling information from Contacts so you don’t have to delete your own Contact card. [1] X Research source

Clearing Account Passwords

• If you aren’t asked to enter a passcode, you don’t have any AutoFill data stored.

• To prevent Safari from saving passwords in the future, hit the back button, tap AutoFill , then move the “Names and Passwords” switch to the Off (gray) position.

Clearing Credit Cards

• To prevent Safari from saving cards for AutoFill in the future, tap the back button, then slide the “Credit Cards” switch to the Off position (gray). [2] X Research source

How to disable and edit safari’s autofill on macos and ios.

Safari's AutoFill will automatically complete information for contacts, passwords, credit cards and more.

Quick Links

Editing or disabling autofill on safari for macos, editing or disabling autofill on safari for ios.

Safari's AutoFill will automatically complete information for contacts, passwords, credit cards and more. Today we're going to discuss how to turn off or edit those AutoFill entries on macOS and iOS.

Whenever any form data is autofilled, Safari highlights them in yellow.

To turn off any or all AutoFill forms in Safari on macOS, first open Safari's preferences from the Safari menu or press Command+, on your keyboard.

In Safari's preferences, click the AutoFill tab You'll see a list of the things Safari can autofill.

Uncheck any items you don't want Safari autofilling, or click "Edit" next to any of the four items to change the actual data Safari has saved. This includes:

• Using info from my contacts : When you start typing any personal information about you, or any other person in your Contacts, into a form (name, address, phone number, etc.), Safari will autofill the blanks.
• User names and passwords : Clicking "Edit" will simply switch to the Passwords tab, which will let you amend any of your login information contained therein.
• Credit cards : This will open a credit card dialog allowing you add or remove payment information. Double-click on an entry to update a credit card's information including the cardholder's name, card number, and expiration date. Before you can edit any sensitive data, you will have to enter your system password.
• Other forms : Click the other forms "Edit" button to edit or remove any or all form data you have saved for a particular website. This is particularly useful if you frequently visit a website with forms you need to fill in time after time with the same information.

Safari on iOS can also fill in form data automatically. To access the AutoFill settings on iOS, open the Settings and tap "Safari".

Next, scroll down to the General options and tap "AutoFill".

In iOS, the options are slightly different than on macOS. You can still turn off your contact information, names and passwords, and credit cards, but there is no option for other forms.

The My Info option will let you choose another contact to use as your device's main contact, or again, you can edit your own contact information so it is up to date.

You can also view, add, remove, and edit any saved credit cards.

You may have noticed, in the previous screenshot, that there isn't any obvious way to edit saved login information. To fix any stored usernames and passwords, tap back to the Safari settings, and then tap "Passwords" right above the AutoFill settings.

Keep in mind that AutoFill will automatically populate any forms on your devices, regardless of who is using them. Thus, you should only lend your devices to people you trust, or simply turn off AutoFill if someone else is going to be using your Mac, iPhone, or iPad.

One final note: user login details and credit cards are stored in your iCloud Keychain ( unless they're not set up to sync to iCloud ), so when you add, delete, or edit either of these items on any one device connected to your iCloud account, the information will be populated to your other devices.

That's really all there is to it. Safari's AutoFill settings are simple enough to understand. Now, if you no longer want certain information to automatically populate forms, you can turn it off. Similarly, if the information is incorrect, you can fix it.

Introduction

Autofill is a nifty feature that saves time and effort by automatically filling in forms and login credentials on websites. It's like having a personal assistant who remembers your details and completes the tedious task of entering them for you. In Safari, Apple's web browser, Autofill is a built-in feature that can be incredibly convenient. However, there are times when you may want to clear or manage your Autofill data, whether for privacy reasons, to update outdated information, or simply to declutter your digital footprint.

In this article, we'll delve into the world of Autofill in Safari, exploring how it works, how to clear Autofill data, and how to manage Autofill settings. Whether you're a seasoned Safari user or a newcomer to the browser , understanding how to navigate and optimize this feature can greatly enhance your browsing experience. So, let's embark on this journey to uncover the ins and outs of Safari's Autofill and empower you to take control of your browsing data.

Understanding Autofill in Safari

Autofill in Safari is a time-saving feature designed to streamline the process of entering information on websites. It functions as a digital assistant, automatically populating fields with details such as names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and even credit card information. This feature is particularly handy for frequent online shoppers, form fillers, and anyone who values efficiency in their browsing experience.

Safari's Autofill operates by storing the information you enter into web forms, allowing the browser to recognize and suggest the same or similar details when you encounter similar fields in the future. This can be especially convenient when filling out shipping addresses, billing information, or login credentials on various websites.

Additionally, Safari's Autofill feature extends beyond basic form data. It can also remember and suggest passwords for websites, making it easier to log in to your favorite online platforms without the hassle of typing out lengthy and complex passwords each time.

Furthermore, Safari's Autofill is integrated with iCloud Keychain, Apple's password management system. This means that the information stored in Safari's Autofill is securely synced across your Apple devices, ensuring a seamless browsing experience across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Understanding how Autofill works in Safari is essential for maximizing its benefits while being mindful of potential privacy and security considerations. While Autofill can undoubtedly enhance convenience, it's crucial to be aware of the data being stored and take necessary steps to manage and clear it when needed.

By grasping the inner workings of Autofill in Safari, users can harness its capabilities to streamline their online activities while maintaining control over their personal information. This knowledge empowers users to make informed decisions about when and how to leverage this feature to suit their browsing preferences and security needs.

Clearing Autofill Data in Safari

Clearing Autofill data in Safari is a straightforward process that allows users to declutter and manage their stored information. Whether you want to remove outdated details, enhance privacy, or simply start afresh, Safari provides the tools to accomplish this task with ease.

To clear Autofill data in Safari on a Mac, follow these simple steps:

Open Safari Preferences : Launch Safari and click on "Safari" in the top menu bar. From the drop-down menu, select "Preferences."

Clear Specific Autofill Entries : To remove specific Autofill entries, click on the "Edit" button next to the respective category, such as "User names and passwords" or "Other forms." This allows you to view and selectively delete individual entries.

Clear All Autofill Data : If you prefer to clear all Autofill data at once, simply click on the "Edit" button next to the respective category and choose "Remove All" to wipe the slate clean.

Confirm the Deletion : Safari will prompt you to confirm the deletion of Autofill data. Once confirmed, the selected entries or all Autofill data will be permanently removed from Safari.

On an iOS device, such as an iPhone or iPad, the process of clearing Autofill data in Safari is equally straightforward:

Access Settings : Open the "Settings" app on your iOS device and scroll down to find "Safari."

Manage Autofill Data : Within the Safari settings, tap on "Autofill" to access the options for managing Autofill data.

Managing Autofill Settings in Safari

Managing Autofill settings in Safari provides users with the flexibility to customize their browsing experience and fine-tune the way Autofill operates.

In Safari, accessing the Autofill settings allows users to exert control over various aspects of this feature. Here's a detailed look at the key elements of managing Autofill settings in Safari:

Customizing Form Autofill

Safari enables users to customize the Autofill feature for web forms, such as those requiring personal information like names, addresses, and contact details. By navigating to Safari Preferences and selecting the Autofill tab, users can fine-tune the information Safari automatically populates in web forms. This customization empowers users to decide which details Safari should suggest, providing a personalized and efficient form-filling experience.

Managing User Names and Passwords

The management of user names and passwords is a crucial aspect of Autofill settings. Safari allows users to view and edit the stored login credentials for various websites. By accessing the Passwords tab within Safari Preferences, users can review, update, and remove saved passwords. This level of control ensures that users can maintain the security and accuracy of their stored login information, promoting a secure and seamless browsing experience.

Configuring Credit Card Autofill

For online shoppers, Safari's ability to Autofill credit card information can be a time-saving convenience. By navigating to the Autofill tab in Safari Preferences, users can manage and update their saved credit card details.

How to clear the cache on your iPhone (and why you should)

How many tabs are open on your mobile browser right now? Go ahead, check -- you might be surprised by what you find.

Americans spend over five hours a day on their smartphones. That's over five hours of your phone potentially accessing, retrieving, and saving cache and cookies, which can negatively impact your iPhone's storage space .

What is cache?

Cache is the temporary storage of some data, like parts of a website from the last time you visited it, for example. Browser cache is content from a website that is stored on your phone during a browser session to help the browser execute faster the next time you visit that page.

Also:  How to clear Google search cache on Android

Cache data can slow down your phone's overall browsing performance, however, since it takes up storage space on your device, so it's good to clear it out regularly. In this article, we mainly focus on clearing web browser cache on an iPhone, but you should know that other types of cache include mobile app cache and CPU cache.

How to clear cache on iPhone

What you'll need: Everything you need to clear your browser cache is within the iPhone's settings app or the Safari app, so grab your iPhone to get started.

Keep in mind that clearing the cache can clear private data, which can close all open tabs in Safari. This is also likely to log you out of all your websites, prompting you to sign in again the next time you open them. 

How do I clear the cache from Chrome on iPhone?

If Google Chrome is your preferred browser, it may have a substantial amount of data stored on your device, which could also slow down performance. 

To clear the cache in Chrome, open the Google Chrome app and follow these steps:

• Tap  Settings .
• Go to  Privacy and Security .
• Select  Clear Browsing Data .
• Select the time from which to delete the data (if you want to delete all your browsing history, choose All Time ).
• Go through the items you'd like to delete, like your Browsing History, Cookies and Site Data, Cached Images and Files, Saved Passwords , and Autofill Data.
• Confirm by tapping  Clear Browsing Data  at the bottom of the screen.
• Tap Done when you've deleted the Chrome cache.

Also: Apple releases iOS 17.4 with podcast transcripts, new emojis, and EU app store changes

Clearing the browsing and cache data in Google Chrome doesn't close all open tabs, but it will refresh each tab and log you out of websites. Once you tap on one of the tabs you want to access, you'll have to log back in.

How can I browse on Safari without history?

If you're learning how to clear cache on an iPhone, you may also be wondering if there's a way to use Safari without saving any browsing history. You can turn on Private Browsing by following these steps:

• Open  Safari .
• Tap on  Tabs .
• Choose Private .

You can also enable private browsing by going to your iPhone Settings, finding Safari, and toggling on the private option. 

How do I clear my app cache on my iPhone?

To clear the app cache from your iPhone Settings app, you can either delete the app and reinstall it, offload it, or try to clear the cache from within the app. Unfortunately, iOS apps don't have consistent settings across the board that would allow you to clear the cache of every app.

Also: Apple warns: Don't put your wet iPhone in rice. Do this instead

Apps like TikTok and CapCut, for example, have options to Clear Cache within their respective settings. Amazon lets users delete their browsing history, while the Reddit app can clear local history. It all depends on what the app's settings let you do. 

Is "clear cache" the same as offloading?

Not exactly, though app offloading can help if your phone is slowed down by low storage. To offload an app  means to uninstall an app without deleting any documents or data associated with it. 

Also: Apple secures iMessage against threats from the future

To offload an app, go to  Settings , then  General , choose  iPhone Storage  and select the app to offload, then tap  Offload App . If you ever download it again, you'll pick up where you left off for that app.

Are cookies and cache the same thing?

Cookies and cache are not the same. Cookies are data files that websites send to your phone, including things like saved passwords to keep you logged into an account or even the website preferences from the previous time you visited. 

Also: I tested the best Mint alternatives, and this is my new favorite money app

Though they do sound harmless, cookies can also track how you browse the internet. They monitor patterns in your browsing and search history, even seeing what you clicked on or what your mouse hovered over. Ever made an innocuous search on Amazon only to find ads for it on all the apps you use? Cookies likely made that possible.

Can I block cookies on my iPhone?

While you can block cookies on Safari, the ranks are divided on whether you should. Blocking cookies entirely means that websites won't be able to get information from you, but it also means that some websites may not even work correctly on your browser. A lot of users actually enjoy a more personalized browsing experience, so cookies are a good thing for them.

 If you'd like to block cookies in Safari, follow these steps:

• Go to  Settings  and select  Safari .
• Tap on the toggle next to  Block All Cookies .

There are also third-party extensions that help you block cookies and trackers in Google Chrome, like Ghostery and Disconnect .

How do I check iPhone storage?

On an iPhone, Settings can show you what's taking up most of your media storage, like photos, videos, and music. You can also see what each particular app's storage consumption is, which includes temporary data. To view the details of your iPhone's storage space, follow these steps:

• Go to the iPhone Settings .
• Tap on General .
• Select iPhone Storage .
• Scroll through to find the app you're looking for.
• Tap on the app to view storage status and options.

Unfortunately, you can't clear your iPhone cache for third-party apps by going into your Settings app, but this gives you a visual of your iPhone's storage and the option to delete or offload apps.

When you look at your device's storage space, you'll probably see recommended steps you can take to optimize your iPhone's storage, like offloading unused apps.
