For now, there is no hint about the other regions for these upgrades. Both Chrome and Android browsers permit saving time during checkout transactions thanks to autofill, a feature that permits automatically filling in shipping, billing, and payment details. You can also use a fingerprint, face scan, or screen lock PIN to automatically fill in your card details on Chrome and Android, skipping manual entry of the security code.
