Google has begun adding Gmail information to Chrome’s enhanced autofill. The browser can suggest order numbers, tracking details and flight bookings while users complete forms, reducing the need to search an inbox for a reference. The US rollout requires Gemini in Chrome with Personal Intelligence enabled; settings govern access to the email information.
Google’s Chrome browser began adding information from its Gmail email service to enhanced autofill on October 28. Order numbers, package-tracking details and flight bookings can appear as suggestions when a user completes an online form. The feature draws on Gemini, Google’s AI assistant, through its Personal Intelligence connection to personal information. It extends the browser’s existing handling of saved names, addresses and payment information.[1], [2]
The rollout begins in the United States on desktop computers and the Android and iOS mobile systems. Access requires Gemini in Chrome and Personal Intelligence to be enabled. Google says users can manage whether enhanced autofill is active and which information it can access in Chrome settings. The company also says sensitive information is encrypted. Distribution is beginning rather than reaching every browser user at once.[1], [2]
Chrome’s help instructions let users open the email behind a proposed value. This displays where an order reference or other suggested information came from before it is used in a form. Removing an individual suggestion leaves the underlying message in Gmail; deleting that email also removes its corresponding suggestion. On mobile, a long press on the suggestion above the keyboard opens the options for inspecting its source or removing it. Turning off the Gmail-based feature is handled in enhanced-autofill settings.[1]
