Google has announced several autofill improvements being rolled out to the mobile and desktop versions of Chrome. The updates will give autofill access to more of your data from places like Google Wallet and make it easier to select the right info a form is asking for when there are multiple suggestions.
Autofill can now access your name, email address, and saved work and home addresses from your Google Account while youâre signed into the desktop, iOS, and Android versions of Chrome.
For Chrome on Android, Google is expanding the autofill suggestions that appear above the onscreen keyboard so theyâre not as condensed and easier to differentiate. The suggestions will now display two lines of information that could, for example, include the addresses of two contacts with the same name so you have more context for choosing the correct one.
Google is also improving how Chromeâs autofill completes forms with international addresses, including Mexican descriptions that often reference two cross-streets, while support for âphonetic names in Japanâ will be introduced later.
Last month Chrome added the ability to autofill details like your passport number, driverâs license, loyalty cards, and info about your vehicle including its VIN and license plate for desktop users who turned on âenhanced autofill.â Both the desktop and Android versions of Chrome will now be able to access data from travel bookings saved in Google Wallet, so if youâre booking an airport rental car online, you can autofill details like the time and day your flight arrives.
