Gmail Users Will Soon Be Able to Change Their Email Address Without Creating a New Account; Google to Introduce New Feature

If you're bored with your old Gmail username or want to update it, there's good news. Google is introducing a new feature that will allow you to update your email address.

If you want to change your email address without creating a new account, there's good news for you. Google is bringing a new feature that will allow users to change their "@gmail.com" email address. According to the Google support page, the company is gradually rolling out this process, which will allow users to change their email address without creating a new Gmail account. Until now, Google did not allow this, but now users will be able to update their old username or select a new username of their choice.

What will change with the new feature?

Until now, a Gmail address was considered a permanent digital identity, but now it will be easier to change. With Google's new feature, users will be able to modify their Gmail addresses. This will allow users to update their old username, and they won't need to create a new account. Until now, Google only offered the option to change email addresses to users who signed up with a third-party email address, but now this option will be available to all users. This option is currently live for only a few users, and other users may have to wait a little longer.

No impact on your Gmail account

Updating your email address will not affect your Gmail account. Google will treat both the new and old addresses as the same. This means you will be able to sign in to Google services with both the new and old usernames. Similarly, emails will continue to arrive on both accounts. Also, messages, photos, videos, or other files received on the old email address will not be affected. Google says that users will be able to update their email address a total of three times.
