Help Google keyboard won't autofill email addresses in gmail app

[cydzeigler]

Since installing the Google keyboard on my Galaxy S7, when I create an email in the Gmail app it will not autofill email addresses from my address book. E.g., I used to be able to type "danp" and it would autofill danpin52@yahoo... you get the picture. Now it doesn't autofill anything so I have to know the person's full email address to message them. Please help! Thank you!

Make sure Gmail has permission to access your contacts.

It might be different on your phone, buy head to Settings, Apps, Gmail, Permissions, then make sure contacts is checked.
