Google is expanding its advanced autofill features to Chrome on iOS and Android, with tight integration into Google Wallet for handling sensitive documents.

The update allows Chrome to automatically fill out web forms with information such as passport numbers, driver's license details, Known Traveler Numbers, vehicle identification numbers, license plates, and flight itineraries. The rollout begins today through a server-side update.

This mobile update brings Chrome's expanded autofill capabilities, which were previously available only on desktop, to iOS and Android browsers.

What’s New in Chrome Autofill and How Google Wallet Becomes the Master Directory

Chrome now allows users on mobile to securely remember and autofill more complex data types, including passport numbers and expiration dates, driver's license details, known traveler numbers for TSA PreCheck and Global Entry, vehicle identification numbers and license plate numbers, flight itineraries, and other multi-character strings often used in travel and logistics forms.

This information is stored in Google Wallet and retrieved by Chrome when filling out relevant forms. The integration works both ways:

• Chrome can automatically fill forms using data stored in Google Wallet.
• When users fill out a form for the first time, Chrome can suggest saving the details to Google Wallet for future use.

This integration helps avoid maintaining separate stores of sensitive documents in both the browser and the Wallet app.

Security, User Controls, and How to Use the New Autofill on iOS and Android

Because the system manages sensitive identity documents, Google has put safeguards in place:

• Chrome never automatically saves or fills sensitive information without clear user consent.
• High-tier documentation remains strongly encrypted when stored.
• Users can review, delete, or update stored data through Google Wallet settings or Chrome's "Autofill and passwords" preferences.
• Private digital passes such as state IDs are protected by independent biometric access controls. If users want to limit what Chrome stores, they can disable specific autofill categories in the Chrome settings or remove individual items directly from Google Wallet.

To take full advantage of the expanded autofill feature on iOS and Android, start by updating Chrome to the latest version through the App Store for iOS or Google Play for Android.

Sign in to Chrome using the Google account linked to your Google Wallet. Next, open Google Wallet and ensure the documents you want available for autofill are stored.

When visiting a website that requests a passport, license, or travel information, Chrome will prompt you to fill in the fields automatically.

You can also review and manage your stored data in Chrome's "Autofill and passwords" section in the settings. Keep in mind that this feature requires both Chrome and Google Wallet to be installed and signed in with the same Google account.

Privacy Considerations, Account Security, and Rollout Availability

The expanded autofill feature in Chrome makes sensitive identity information more accessible across web forms. This can improve convenience but also increases the amount of data Chrome might share with websites.

Users should consider verifying that any website requesting passport or license details is legitimate before allowing autofill. It’s also advisable to review Google Wallet permissions regularly and remove documents that are no longer needed.

Using device-level biometric locks can help prevent unauthorized autofill access if the device is lost or stolen. Keep in mind that Chrome's autofill relies on your Google account, so the security of your account, including two-factor authentication, directly impacts your data privacy.

The rollout of the advanced autofill feature is starting today on iOS and Android devices through a server-side update. Users won’t need to install a new version to access it, although Google recommends keeping Chrome updated to the latest version.

These expanded data types were previously available on Chrome desktop and are now also accessible to mobile users with the same capabilities.
