Google to Allow Gmail Address Changes

Google is preparing to enable Gmail address changes for its users, responding to a long-standing request. According to international media reports, Google will allow account holders with the @gmail.com domain to obtain a new address while retaining all their data and services.

According to reports, the change feature will be rolled out gradually to all users. Those who change their address will automatically retain their original address as an alias. Emails sent to the old address will continue to arrive in the inbox, and the original address will still work for connecting to Google services such as Drive, Maps, and YouTube.

Users can also reuse the old email address of their Google account at any time. However, accounts that change their Gmail address will not be able to create another new address for the next 12 months and cannot delete the newly selected address.

This new feature initially appeared in the Hindi version of Google's support page, suggesting that the change may start in India.
