AutoFill Fix for iOS Safari - SOLVED

Hi, as I'm new in Mac world I have lots of stuff to learn, but here's one for the comunity.

AutoFill is great, but it has its difficulties when multiple keyboard are being used. So I had "Auto-Correction" switched off. This simple from first view unrelated option disables "AutoFill" in Safari, even tho, "AutoFill" button remains active/unactive all the time, but never works when pressed.

So, check Settings > General > Keyboard for Auto-Correction On/Off. No restarts needed, but do, if won't function at first.

I hope this helps and if not, let me know.

iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.2, 32 GB

Well, I am surprised and confused a little bit, as you are the only one to manage to sort it out. Happy for you. But since I tested few iOS devices, I still think you can't be right, but I'm happy if you are.

I must correct myself as autoFILL can work in private browsing mode. Sorry for confusion.

I never use Private Browsing Mode. Don't know how that affects this bug. No what what the permutations, for me at least, AutoFill does not work when AutoCorrect is turned off. Safari does ask me if I want to save login information, which seems to me like at least part of the functionality is there. The most important part, the actual AutoFill-ing isn't. So frustrating. I hope they've fixed this in iOS 7...
