This iOS 17 feature will save you a ton of time

New in iOS 17 is a super-handy feature you likely don’t know about.

It’s good old AutoFill, but it’s a supercharged version of the AutoFill of old.

Now, instead of autofilling just names, addresses and credit cards, the new AutoFill can do all that and more, including filling in just-scanned text.

Plus, it now works anywhere you need to input text, including third-party browsers.

Give yourself five minutes to familiarize yourself with how it works, and guaranteed, it’ll save you a ton of fiddling about. Here’s how to use the new AutoFill.

• Due this summer, iOS 18 likely will include new generative AI features; this cool concept video shows how they might work.
