Safari Autofill misses country code

Safari Autofill keeps removing the "+N", +NN" or "+NNN" (an international country phone number codes) filling in the phone number forms on the websites.


There is an international format of providing the phone numbers starting from +NN required in 99% of the situations during filling in the forms in the internet. And this is exactly how the phone numbers are written down in my contact card. When I click on Autofill it also shows a +NN in suggestion,

but when I click to fill it - it is removed!

Always and on every single website ever. It is very annoying to add it manually each time and it makes Autofill useless.


Is there a way to fix this to have Autofill insert my phone numbers exactly how it is written down in my contact card?

I agree. This is so annoying, particularly given that the + country code format is so ubiquitous.


We live in a world where international interaction (not just communication, but online purchases, registering for events, hotel bookings) is now party of most people's lives. I don't think a week goes by that I don't submit my phone number to a 3rd party overseas. Yet Safari's autofill function elects to drop the country code. Bizarre!

Hi there alexanderfromvilnius,


Thank you for posting to Apple Support Communities.


We understand that you have a question about Autofill dropping the country code from Contacts when it fills in Safari.


Here is Apple's article on the subject: Autofill info from Contacts in Safari on Mac


This may be expected behavior. To check, you can contact Apple Support: Contact Apple Support or leave them feedback here: Product Feedback


Take care.

Hey alexanderfromvilnius, we need a bit of help understanding your last post. Were you told someone from Apple Support would get back to you? Did the advisor say they would set up a callback? If you were provided a case number, you can always reach back out to Apple Support, provide the number and they’ll be glad to check for you: Get Support


If that wasn’t your question, please provide a bit more detail.


All the best.
