Google is introducing a new feature that allows Gmail users to change their email addresses. This update offers users the flexibility to modify their Google Account username, enhancing their digital identity. The change applies to various Google services like Gmail, Photos, and Drive, ensuring a seamless transition with both old and new email addresses functioning simultaneously.
The update preserves all existing data within the accounts, including photos, messages, and emails. Users can rest assured that their information remains intact throughout the transition. However, the feature is currently only available in the US, leaving users in the UK waiting for its rollout.
For users in the US, accessing the feature is simple. By navigating to their Google account settings and selecting personal info, users can proceed to the email section and choose the option to change their Google account email. It’s important to note that only one new email address can be created every 12 months. Users are encouraged to review their settings periodically to check for the availability of the update.
This update represents a positive change from Google, offering users greater control over their digital identity.
