The Google Chrome browser can save the address details we fill in the application or registration form. The saved address can be reused for auto-filling the upcoming forms. We can easily manage the address and modify it when required. The address is synced across the device when we sign in with the same Google account.
If you’re registering for an account or filling out any registration form, then it asks you for your basic details. However, filling out an official form that requests all your details, like location, phone number, email, etc., is tedious to fill them all simultaneously.
Hence, Google Chrome offers a feature to autofill the form with all the address details. All you need is to store the address details in Google Chrome. The browser will automatically populate the address details wherever necessary.
If you’ve more than one address saved in the browser, then you also have the option to choose either of the addresses from the list.
