- to complete (a sequence of characters) in a text field in a digital document or app: Why would this library app autocomplete a book’s title if they don’t have it?!
- sometimes used interchangeably with autofill (def. 1).
- a feature of a messaging app, word processor, email program, web browser, etc., that automatically predicts the remaining characters in a word or phrase based on what has been typed or input before: Using autocomplete makes typing on my phone’s tiny keyboard so much faster.
