Google said on October 28, 2026 that Chrome's enhanced autofill "can automatically suggest information pulled directly from Gmail as you fill out online forms." Google says it is "Powered by Gemini with Personal Intelligence" and can surface "details like order numbers, tracking information, and flight bookings". It is rolling out in the US on desktop, Android and iOS for Gemini in Chrome users who are 18 or older and have opted into Personal Intelligence. Google gives no date for the rollout to finish. You can turn it off in Chrome's settings.

#What changed?

Chrome autofill has long filled in items "like your name, address, and credit card number", Google says, and "now it’s handling even more." The new part is Gmail:

  • Google's blog names "order numbers, tracking information, and flight bookings".
  • Google's help center says enhanced autofill "uses data from your Gmail account, such as flights, vehicles, and orders, to fill out forms for you."
  • The Verge reported it can retrieve "travel details like a flight booking number or hotel reservation".

Suggestions "are displayed with the Gemini spark icon and will appear in a dropdown," Google says, and "Info pulled from Gmail can’t be edited in Chrome."

Google also says: "Soon, we’ll be extending these capabilities to let enhanced autofill securely access information from the images stored in your Google Photos library." It gives no date.

The Verge noted that enhanced autofill gained Google Account and Google Wallet details, such as passport numbers, in an earlier update. TechCrunch listed items including address, phone number and credit card number; Google's blog describes those as what autofill already handled, not as new Gmail data.

#Who can use it?

Google's help center says: "Enhanced autofill is currently available on Desktop, Android, and iOS for Gemini in Chrome users in the US who are 18 or older and have opted into Gemini Personal Intelligence." Google's blog says the capabilities "are beginning to roll out in the U.S.", so not everyone eligible may see it on October 28, 2026.

To qualify, Google's help pages say you need:

  • Personal Intelligence. You must "Sign in with a personal Google Account" and "Have Keep Activity on." It "isn’t available when you sign in to a work, school, or supervised Google Account," so work and school accounts cannot use enhanced autofill. Personal Intelligence is "being released gradually".
  • Gemini in Chrome. "You’ll need to opt in the first time you use Gemini in Chrome." On a computer, the Gemini in Chrome help lists "a Chromebook Plus, Mac, or Windows computer" and says it "isn’t available in Incognito mode."
  • A signed-in Chrome. "To use autofill, make sure you’re signed in to your Google Account in Chrome."

Google did not say the feature requires a paid plan. In March, Google said Personal Intelligence was "starting to roll out in the Gemini app and Gemini in Chrome for free-tier users."

#How to turn it off or manage it

Google says "You can manage whether enhanced autofill is enabled and what it can access via your Chrome settings." On a computer, Google's steps are:

  1. Open Chrome.
  2. At the top right, select More, then Settings, then Autofill and passwords.
  3. Under Autofill settings, select Enhanced autofill.
  4. Turn "Find and fill with Gemini" on or off.

On Android and iPhone or iPad, the same "Find and fill with Gemini" toggle sits under Autofill settings. Google does not say whether the toggle starts on or off.

Other controls Google describes:

  • See the source. On a computer, "Select a link to the original source. The email in Gmail will open in a new tab." On Android and iOS, long-press the Gemini suggestion chip and tap View sources.
  • Remove a suggestion. "Removing suggestions from Chrome does not delete the original email. However, deleting the original email does remove the suggestion."
  • Cut Gmail off from Gemini. "To stop using info from other apps, like Photos and Gmail, manage your Connected Apps in Gemini." Google's Gemini in Chrome help says this applies to all Gemini Apps.

#What does Google say about privacy?

Google's only privacy statement in the announcement is: "As always, sensitive data is encrypted and you remain in control." The Verge and TechCrunch repeated the encryption point.

Google has not said how long autofill suggestions are kept.

#How does it compare?

Google uses the same Personal Intelligence opt-in for Gemini on Android Auto. Apple's iOS 27.2 Siri AI update also draws on personal data, with an Excluded Apps control. For other Google AI news in October 2026, see Google Agent Compute Engine.

TechCrunch wrote that the update "could give users another reason to continue to use Google’s browser and stay in its AI ecosystem."

Our analysis: The feature saves typing for things like tracking and booking numbers buried in email. Because suggestions come straight from your inbox, the View sources and Remove options are worth knowing, and the toggle is the quickest way to stop it.

#What is still unclear?

  • Completion date for the US rollout, and any plans outside the US.
  • Default state of the Find and fill with Gemini toggle.
  • Retention for autofill suggestions.
  • Google Photos timing. Only "Soon".
