How Chrome Autofill Pulls Order Details From Gmail
Chrome’s enhanced autofill uses Gemini to suggest order numbers and flight bookings from Gmail. Enable it, control privacy, and fill forms faster.
Filling airline check-in forms or return pages used to mean switching tabs to dig through Gmail for a booking code. Chrome’s enhanced autofill now surfaces those details automatically.
Google rolled the update out on October 28, 2026. It uses Gemini with Personal Intelligence to pull order numbers, tracking information, and flight bookings from Gmail and offer them as suggestions while you fill forms.
The feature is available on desktop, Android, and iOS for eligible users in the United States. Regular autofill for names, addresses, and saved cards continues to work as before.
What the feature suggests
When you focus a form field, Chrome checks Gmail for matching information. If it finds a relevant detail, the autofill dropdown includes a section labeled “Suggested by Gemini.”
Examples Google highlighted include:
- Flight booking codes and confirmation numbers
- Order numbers for purchases
- Package tracking information
Suggestions carry a Gemini spark icon so you can distinguish them from your saved autofill data. Nothing is entered until you select the suggestion.
On Android, long-pressing a suggestion can show the source email. This helps confirm the detail before you use it.
Eligibility and requirements
Enhanced autofill with Gmail is limited at launch:
- Users in the United States
- Age 18 or older
- Gemini in Chrome enabled
- Personal Intelligence turned on in the Gemini app
If you have not enabled Personal Intelligence, the Gmail suggestions will not appear. See our guide on how to enable Gemini Personal Intelligence on Android for the setup steps. The same account settings apply across surfaces that support the feature.
Google says the rollout is beginning, so not every eligible account sees it immediately.
How to enable or turn off enhanced autofill
The control lives under Chrome’s Autofill and passwords settings.
On desktop:
- Open Chrome and click the three-dot menu.
- Go to Settings > Autofill and passwords.
- Select Enhanced autofill.
- Toggle “Find and fill with Gemini” on or off.
On Android:
- Open Chrome and tap the three-dot menu.
- Tap Settings > Autofill and passwords.
- Under Autofill settings, select Enhanced autofill.
- Turn “Find and fill with Gemini” on or off.
On iOS:
- Open Chrome and tap the three-dot menu.
- Tap Settings > Autofill and passwords > Autofill settings.
- Select Enhanced autofill and toggle the Gemini option.
Turning the feature off removes the Gmail-based suggestions. Your standard saved autofill data stays available. Removing a single suggestion does not delete the original email.
Privacy controls
Google states that sensitive data remains encrypted and that you stay in control. You can remove individual suggestions from the dropdown or disable the entire enhanced autofill experience in settings.
The feature only draws from Gmail at launch. Earlier testing references mentioned Photos and other connected apps, but the public version is limited to Gmail. Google has not published a timeline for expanding the sources.
Because the feature relies on Personal Intelligence, the same opt-in and app-connection choices apply. Review which Google apps are connected in the Gemini app if you want tighter control.
Practical tips for daily use
Test the feature on a form you already know the answer for, such as a recent order confirmation. This confirms it is active on your account without risking incorrect data.
Keep Personal Intelligence enabled only for the apps you actually want referenced. Disconnect Gmail in the Gemini app if you prefer not to surface inbox details in the browser.
If suggestions do not appear, confirm you are signed into the same Google account in Chrome and the Gemini app, that Personal Intelligence is on, and that you are in the United States. Clear Chrome’s cache or restart the browser if the toggle is present but inactive.
For frequent travelers or online shoppers, the feature reduces tab switching. For others, the standard autofill remains sufficient.
Conclusion
Chrome’s enhanced autofill now pulls specific details from Gmail via Gemini and Personal Intelligence so you can complete forms without leaving the page. The update is opt-in, limited to eligible U.S. users, and fully controllable from Chrome settings. Enable it if the convenience matches your workflow, or leave it off if you prefer to keep inbox data separate from the browser.
