Google Launches Gmail Address Change Feature—Keep Everything Intact!

UPDATE: Google has just announced a groundbreaking feature that allows users to change their Gmail address without losing any data. This long-awaited option is now rolling out across Europe and other regions, enabling users to finally ditch cringe-worthy email addresses.

This feature, which was initially available to Hindi users, has now expanded significantly. Users can update their Gmail username—everything before the ‘@gmail.com’—through their Google Account settings. However, be aware that the rollout is happening in stages, so not everyone may have access just yet.

Why This Matters: Many users have been stuck with unsatisfactory Gmail addresses due to poor choices or unavailability of preferred options. With this new capability, you can transform your digital identity while keeping all your emails, photos, and messages intact.

According to Google’s support page, “If you choose, you can change your Google Account email that ends in gmail.com to a new address that ends in gmail.com.” This means your previous email address will serve as an alternate, allowing you to receive emails at both addresses without losing any data.

Here’s What You Need to Know:
– You can revert to your original Gmail address at any time.
– Users will not be able to create a new Gmail address for 12 months after changing it.
– Once changed, the new email address cannot be deleted.

Accessing this feature is straightforward. Just head to http://myaccount.google.com/google-account-email, navigate to Personal Info, then Email, and select Change Google Account email. This could be a game-changer for millions seeking a fresh start with their email identity.

What Happens Next? As Google continues to roll out this feature, users should keep an eye on their account settings to see when it becomes available. This development underscores Google’s commitment to improving user experience and flexibility.

Stay tuned for more updates as this feature becomes widely accessible. Don’t miss your chance to finally get that email address you’ve always wanted!
