Chrome is starting to offer Gmail information in its autofill suggestions, so eligible US users can fill in details such as a flight booking, order number or tracking number without opening their inbox and copying the text.
Google announced the rollout on October 28. It is coming to desktop, Android and iOS for people using Gemini in Chrome with Personal Intelligence enabled. This is a rollout, so the announcement does not establish that every eligible account already has it.
The change expands the information Chrome can suggest. Addresses and payment details can already be saved for forms; the new Gmail connection can supply information from messages about a particular purchase or trip. A booking reference is useful in a different way from a saved street address: it belongs to one reservation, and an old reference may no longer be relevant.
Who can use Gmail autofill
Chrome's help page limits enhanced autofill to US users 18 or older who use Gemini in Chrome and have opted into Personal Intelligence. Installing Chrome alone does not meet those conditions. Gmail suggestions carry a Gemini sparkle symbol.
The feature has been in development for months. 9to5Google reported Google's preview in May, when the company described more intelligent autofill for Android apps and Chrome. Its October 28 report describes the Gmail rollout and the suggestions labeled "Suggested by Gemini."
Google says sensitive data is encrypted and users can manage the feature in Chrome settings.
Check or remove a suggestion on Android
Google's Android instructions put the switch at More, Settings, Autofill and passwords, then Enhanced autofill under Autofill settings. Turn off "Find and fill with Gemini" to disable it.
To trace a suggestion, press and hold its chip above the keyboard and choose "View sources." Chrome opens the source Gmail message in a new tab. This lets you identify which booking or order supplied the detail before using it.
Press and hold the chip and choose "Remove suggestion" to dismiss unwanted or outdated information. Gmail-derived information cannot be edited in Chrome. Removing a suggestion leaves the original email intact; deleting the source email also removes its suggestion.
Ordinary autofill has separate privacy behavior. Google's autofill privacy explanation says Chrome sends form structure and a hashed website domain to help predict fields. It says the feedback sent when a form is submitted uses generic field types rather than the actual values. Google describes that data flow for form prediction; the Gmail connection is documented separately in its enhanced autofill help.
