Google Autofill is a cool feature that allows you automatically fill out information for online forms, such as passwords, and usernames that you previously saved in your Google account.
It’s a similar feature that basically works the same as iPhone AutoFill. If you’ve used a password manager before, you may already have an idea of how this feature works.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to enable Google Autofill on your Android phone step by step.
