Google introduced an autofill service to the Android platform a long time ago. It saves ample time for everyone who wants to enter his details and even login credentials onto a site or application. The autofill feature automatically pulls the username and password from the saved directory, and with just a single tap, your credentials will be entered into the fields.
Recently though, some users have pointed out that after updating their phones to Android 13 and 14, their autofill feature has stopped working entirely. It seems to be a bug that has troubled some Android users. But even after a fix was rolled out, the issue was not addressed immediately. This is because it has disabled the service entirely for some users in the settings menu. If you are one of these troubled users, this article will help you. Here, we have mentioned ways to fix the autofill issue. So without any further ado, let’s get into it.
