Remove “Autofill” option next to paste, select, etc

I am NOT referring to safari autofill options, I am talking about any text anywhere when you type, even on this website. When I tap the screen to give me options such as paste, select, and select all there is now a new option called “Autofill”. Clicking it shows two options, contacts and passwords. I want this button gone. It is messing up all of my muscle memory for selecting things. I will provide two picture examples.

Ah, just don’t tap on it. Why didn’t I think of that. Of course. It’s not like in the past, select all was all the way on the right, so I automatically select the one all the way on the right, but now that’s autofill instead of select all. It’s not like I specifically mentioned in my post that I’m not choosing to tap it, but selecting it out of muscle memory. That would be crazy.

Ah, sarcasm! :-) But it doesn't change the fact this is baked into iOS and you cannot remove the option. Motor memory can be changed. Removing things from iOS you don't have the ability to remove, can't.

Expecting that interfaces will never change and/or that you will have complete control over them is what I would call "crazy".
