Google expands Chrome autofill with Gmail data in the US
🎧 Listen to this story
Google announced an expanded version of Chrome autofill that uses Gemini with Personal Intelligence to suggest, with the user’s permission, information found in Gmail. The data can include tracking numbers, travel confirmations or reservations, order numbers, addresses, phone numbers, and credit card numbers.
According to The Verge, the feature began rolling out in the US to users with Personal Intelligence enabled on Chrome’s desktop, Android, and iOS versions. Users can control its access in the browser’s settings or turn it off completely; Google says sensitive data shown in suggestions remains encrypted.
Why it matters · editorial interpretation
The integration could reduce the work of copying information between Gmail and forms, but it also expands the range of personal data used by autofill. The settings controls and encryption mentioned by Google are therefore central for users weighing the feature’s convenience.
