Gmail Finally Lets Users Change Their @gmail.com Email Address

Quick Summary

• Google has started rolling out the ability to change @gmail.com email addresses.
• Previously, users had to create a new Google account to get a different Gmail address.

• The feature is being released gradually, so it may not be available to everyone yet.
• Your Google Account data, including Gmail, Drive, Photos, and YouTube, remains linked to the same account after the change. 

A Long-Awaited Gmail Feature

For more than 20 years, Gmail users couldn't change the username in their @gmail.com email address. If you wanted a new email address, you had to create a completely new Google account and manually migrate your data.

Google has now begun rolling out a feature that allows eligible users to change their primary Gmail address while keeping the same Google Account. 

How Does It Work?

• If the feature is available on your account, you can:
• Choose a new available @gmail.com address.
• Keep your existing Google Account, including Gmail, Drive, Photos, YouTube, and other Google services.
• Continue receiving emails sent to your old Gmail address, as it becomes an alternate address linked to your account. 

How to Check if You Have the Feature

1. Open Google Account. Or search manage my Google account in Google.

2. Go to Personal info.

3. Tap Email.

4. Open Google Account email.

5. If you see "Change Google Account email", your account has access to the new feature. 

Things to Keep in Mind

Your old Gmail address becomes an alternate email and can still receive messages.

You can change your @gmail.com email address only once every 12 months. After changing it, you'll need to wait 12 months before you can change it again.

The new email address must be available and meet Google's eligibility requirements.

Conclusion

This is one of Gmail's biggest updates in years. It finally gives users the flexibility to replace outdated or unprofessional email addresses without creating a new Google account or losing years of emails and other Google data.
