Chrome can now fill in forms using your Gmail. Here’s how to control it

Chrome enhanced autofill suggesting a flight booking code from Gmail on an airline check-in form

Google Chrome can now fill in online forms with details it finds in your Gmail, such as order numbers, tracking numbers and flight bookings. Google started rolling out Chrome enhanced autofill in the US on Oct. 28, 2026, on computers, Android and iPhone. Here is who gets it, what it reads, and where the off switch is.

The short version

Chrome enhanced autofill uses Gemini to pull details from your Gmail into web forms. It only reaches people who opted in to Gemini Personal Intelligence, and you can turn it off in Chrome settings.

  1. It is rolling out in the US for Gemini in Chrome users who are 18 or older and have opted in to Gemini Personal Intelligence.
  2. Google says it can pull flights, vehicles, orders and tracking details from your Gmail.
  3. Suggestions carry the Gemini spark icon and say “Suggested by Gemini”, so you can tell them apart from regular autofill.
  4. To turn it off, go to Settings, then Autofill and passwords, then Enhanced autofill, and switch off “Find and fill with Gemini”.
  5. Removing a suggestion does not delete the email, but deleting the email removes the suggestion.

Who gets Chrome enhanced autofill

Google’s Chrome help page says enhanced autofill is available on desktop, Android and iOS for Gemini in Chrome users in the US who are 18 or older and have opted in to Gemini Personal Intelligence. If you never switched on Personal Intelligence, you will not see it. Your regular autofill for names, addresses and saved cards works the same as before.

What it reads from your Gmail

Google says enhanced autofill can suggest order numbers, tracking information and flight bookings from your inbox, and its help page adds vehicle details. Say you are checking in for a flight: instead of hunting through your email for a booking code, Chrome offers it in the dropdown under the box you are typing in.

Those suggestions show the Gemini spark icon with the label “Suggested by Gemini”, so they do not blend in with your normal autofill. Google also says it plans to let enhanced autofill read details from images in Google Photos “soon”, with no date yet.

In plain terms: nothing gets filled in until you pick a suggestion. But your inbox is now one click away from almost any form you open, on any site. That is handy when you are checking in for a flight. It is worth a second look if other people use your computer or your Chrome profile.

On a computer:

  1. Open Chrome.
  2. At the top right, select More (the three dots), then Settings.
  3. Select Autofill and passwords.
  4. Under “Autofill settings,” select Enhanced autofill.
  5. Turn Find and fill with Gemini on or off.

On Android: open Chrome, tap More, then Settings, then Autofill and passwords. Under “Autofill settings,” select Enhanced autofill and turn Find and fill with Gemini on or off.

On iPhone or iPad: open Chrome, tap More, then Settings, then Autofill and passwords, then Autofill settings. Select Enhanced autofill and turn Find and fill with Gemini on or off.

How to see where a suggestion came from, or remove it

On a computer, click into the form field to open the suggestion dropdown, hover over the Gemini suggestion to open its menu, and select the link to the original source. The email opens in Gmail in a new tab. To get rid of a suggestion you do not want, open the same menu and select Remove from Chrome.

On a phone, tap the form field, then touch and hold the suggestion chip with the Gemini icon on the bar above your keyboard. From there you can view the source.

Two details from Google are worth knowing. Removing a suggestion from Chrome does not delete the email it came from. Deleting the email does remove the suggestion. And you cannot edit Gmail details inside Chrome, so if a booking changed, the fix is in your inbox, not your browser.

Should you keep it on?

Keep it on if you book travel, track lots of deliveries and use your own computer. It saves real time on check-in pages and return forms. Turn it off if you share a computer or a Chrome profile with family, or if you would rather your email stayed out of forms on sites you do not know well.
