Typing passport numbers, vehicle registration details, and loyalty card information into a tiny smartphone screen is nobody’s idea of fun. Google clearly agrees. The company has announced that Chrome on Android and iOS is getting a major Autofill upgrade that can pull information directly from Google Wallet, making it much easier to complete complex forms on mobile devices.
Chrome Autofill is getting a lot smarter
Google says the upgraded Autofill experience can now access a wider range of information stored in Google Wallet, including travel-related details, loyalty cards, vehicle information, and other credentials that users would normally have to enter manually. The feature is designed to help with tasks like flight check-ins, car rentals, parking reservations, and various online registrations.
The update builds on Chrome’s Enhanced Autofill system that Google introduced over the past year. Previously, Chrome gained support for information such as passport numbers, driver’s licenses, vehicle identification numbers (VINs), and license plate details. With the latest update, that data becomes more accessible on mobile through tighter Google Wallet integration.
Google is also bringing the feature to both Android and iPhone users, ensuring that Chrome’s Autofill experience remains consistent regardless of platform. Instead of digging through emails, screenshots, or separate apps, users can simply select the relevant Wallet entry when filling out a supported form.
Honestly, this feels more useful than most AI features
The funny thing is that while tech companies love talking about AI assistants, some of the most impactful upgrades are often the boring ones. Anyone who has ever scrambled to find a passport number while checking into a flight or hunted for a loyalty card ID during an online purchase knows exactly how annoying these moments can be.
What’s interesting is that this move also further cements Google Wallet’s role as more than just a place for payment cards. Over the past year, Google has steadily expanded Wallet into a hub for IDs, tickets, loyalty programs, travel information, and vehicle credentials. If Google gets the execution right, Advanced Autofill could become one of those features users stop noticing because it simply works. And in the world of mobile software, that’s usually the highest compliment a feature can receive.
