Google Chrome's Enhanced Autofill Now Pulls Order Numbers and Flight Bookings From Your Gmail Into Web Forms
Google is rolling out a Chrome enhanced autofill that uses Gemini with Personal Intelligence to suggest order numbers, tracking information and flight bookings from Gmail while you fill out forms, in the US on desktop, Android and iOS.
You’re on a return form, it wants the order number, and the order number is in an email from three weeks ago. Google’s pitch is that Chrome now goes and gets it. In an October 28 post, Chrome product manager Amanda Lim writes that “it can surface details like order numbers, tracking information, and flight bookings,” which helps “especially when you have to switch between tabs or search through your inbox.”
Chrome’s help page is more blunt about the plumbing: “Enhanced autofill uses data from your Gmail account, such as flights, vehicles, and orders, to fill out forms for you.” Vehicles aren’t in the blog post, but they’re on the help page.
The gate is narrower than “everyone with Chrome.” The help page says the feature is “currently available on Desktop, Android, and iOS for Gemini in Chrome users in the US,” and only for those “who are 18 or older and have opted into Gemini Personal Intelligence.”
When it fires, “Suggestions are displayed with the Gemini spark icon,” and you can trace each one back: “Select a link to the original source. The email in Gmail will open in a new tab.” Two smaller rules matter too. “Info pulled from Gmail can’t be edited in Chrome,” and “Removing suggestions from Chrome does not delete the original email.”
To switch it off, the help page sends you to Chrome’s settings under Autofill and passwords, then Enhanced autofill, where you “Turn “Find and fill with Gemini” on or off.” The blog post’s only privacy line is “As always, sensitive data is encrypted and you remain in control.”
Apple got to a slice of this first. Announcing macOS Sonoma in 2023, Apple said “the one-time verification codes received in Mail will now autofill in Safari.” Google’s version reaches much further into the inbox:
| Chrome enhanced autofill (2026) | Safari with Mail (macOS Sonoma, 2023) | |
|---|---|---|
| What it pulls from email | Order numbers, tracking info, flight bookings; help page adds vehicles | One-time verification codes |
| Where | US, desktop, Android and iOS | Safari on the Mac |
| Who | 18+, opted into Gemini Personal Intelligence | Safari users on macOS Sonoma |
Neither Google page says whether the feature is on by default for people already opted into Personal Intelligence, how long Gmail details pulled into Chrome are kept, or whether any of it is used to train models.
The direction is clear even if the fine print isn’t: the browser is becoming the place where your accounts meet each other. A moderate-confidence guess: receipts and bookings are the start, and the next asks will be loyalty numbers, addresses from shipping emails and anything else a form wants. The thing to watch is whether Google publishes a plain answer on retention before this leaves the US.
