iOS 8 Safari can scan credit cards to simplify online payment procedures

  In Safari for iOS 8 the Apple company has implemented an extremely useful function for many of us, the browser being now able to scan credit cards to automatically fill in fields for online payments. More precisely, when a payment processor asks you to enter a card number in the field of a website, the virtual keyboard of iOS will display a button called Scan Credit Card, application Camera being then used to scan and recognize the card number.

  Safari it can also use information stored in iOS for credit cards to automatically fill in those fields, but now we can simplify the procedure even more by simply scanning the card. Everything works natively in Safari, the browser automatically recognizing the fields for entering a card's data, so all we have to do is scan the cards as needed without having to enter all the numbers manually.
