Autocomplete/Autofill not working on android
-
So this used to be a feature on the android version, and it still works on desktop.
Basically, when you type something in a field it would show recently used things underneath that field. Lets say I put in 'potatoes' before, when I enter 'po' it would show me 'potatoes' underneath the entry field.
I'm not entirely sure what this features name is, but it's rather frustrating to see that it no longer works on Android, neither on stable or snapshot.
Anyone have similar issues or a way to fix this?
-
Same goes with saved addresses and payment methods / cards.
-
Did you check Settings -> Privacy and security -> Clean navigation data -> Advanced -> Form data to see if it's being sync'd and how far back it's doing it?
(Just happened to stumble on this setting today and remember this post - not sure exactly what this does)
-
@pauloaguia there's no such menu on mobile
Unless you mean "clear" which, as the name implies, clears the form data, which is the opposite of what's trying to be achieved...
Additionally, my install of snapshot is a clean install without any data, and it has the exact same issue, so clearing form data doesn't fix anything.
-
Hello there,
Settings > Addresses and More
do you have Save & Fill Addresses On?
-
Yep, although in my experience, turning it off has no noticable effect.
-
Honestly, I don't know the fix. Let me see if one of us knows the fix.
-
Hi, no one I asked. @LonM got the opposite of yours.
-
@lamarca Uh, not entirely sure what you're even trying to say there... No one you asked knows the solution? and @LonM has the opposite issue?

I switched back to Vivaldi Android few months ago and noticed this issue.
At the moment it is the most irritating issue because I have web torrent client that I use often and it has autocomplete functionality for location field.
By any chance have somebody opened bug for this? -

Could we have link to the issue if it is in open repository?
I would like to subscribe to be notified when I can start using Vivaldi on Android again(third time by the way :)) -

Just tested RC1, can confirm the issue has been fixed

Unfortunately RC1 doesn't work for my case.
It is VueJS application that supposed to have autocompletion for some fields.
It works in desktop Vivaldi but not in Android version. -
Hello there, have you tried the Stable?

Yes, I am on Vivaldi 4.1.2366.19.
-
With 4.3.2439.72 I still have this problem. The autofill suggestions are synced.
-
Autofill isn't working with Vivaldi only, I'm using bitwarden.
