Google Prepares New Email Feature for Gmail Users

Google is preparing to activate a new feature that will allow Gmail users to change their email addresses, fulfilling a long-standing user request.

According to international media reports, Google plans to give account holders with the @gmail.com domain the ability to obtain a new address while retaining all their existing data and services.

This new feature initially appeared in the Hindi version of Google's support page, suggesting that the change may begin in India. The change feature will be gradually available to all users.

Users 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 their old Google account email address 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.
