Google Will Let Users Change Their Gmail Address Without Starting a New Account

A significant shift is coming up with Google for Gmail functionality. The long-standing rule that a Gmail address would be locked to an account and difficult to change is now reversed. What is more is that users will no longer be required to create new accounts, end up losing, or be without their emails, contacts, and even linked services, to be able to change their primary Gmail address.

The following is a step-by-step explanation of the new option’s operation. When the feature reaches you, “Change email address” will be the option you will see under your Google Account settings on the Personal Information page. A new @gmail.com handle can be chosen and will be applied to your existing account. An alias is still your old Gmail address. It still gets emails and allows you to sign in. Your data remains unchanged.

The significance of this alteration is huge for many individuals. If someone wanted a new email address with a cleaner or more professional name, in the past, they had to go through the entire process of creating a new Gmail account and then manually transferring, contacting, and connecting data. That was a slow and risky business. With this new system, Google has made it easier for people to change their digital identity as their requirements change.

India is the first market where Google is obviously testing the modification, with the update appearing on the support pages in Hindi. The new feature is expected to roll out to users worldwide gradually over the coming months.

There are some restrictions. One time you change your email address, Google may limit how often you can do that. Initial signals point that you may not be able to switch back for at least a year. This is to keep confusion or abuse at bay.

Market experts consider this to be one of the most significant changes in Gmail account management made by Google for many years. It has directly addressed the complaints of the users who have been suffering the most with obsolete or unprofessional email names. In this way, it’s very likely that a good number of people who have been putting off their identity change online will be the very ones that will appreciate this feature.
