iOS16 - how to stop - on screen keyboard toolbar - cut-n-paste icons disappear when you attempt set focus on a webform text box, in Safari, and are non-consensually replaced by an Autofill contact icon.

How do you disable this annoying, non-consensually, irrelevant behaviour, by iOS, or at best alter it to add the unwanted Autofill contact icon, on almost any text box, rather than replaces the wanted cut-n-paste icons?

Wanted icons:

Replace by, not even complemented by the following:

Hello arober11,

Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

Do you have AutoFill enabled in your Safari settings? If you're not sure, this would be the first thing to check and disable. It may prevent that "AutoFill" option from appearing when filling out a web form and allow the preferred keyboard toolbar options to show.

Turn off AutoFill

You can turn off AutoFill for your contact or credit card information, and for passwords. This is helpful in situations where you don’t want your contact or credit card information to be readily available—for example if you share a device with others.

- Turn off AutoFill for your contact or credit card information: Go to Settings > Safari > AutoFill, then turn off either option.

- Turn off AutoFill for passwords: Go to Settings > Passwords, then turn off AutoFill Passwords.

Let us know if this helps or not.

Best regards.
