Google has started rolling out a new feature that allows users to change their @gmail.com email address while keeping the same Google account, data, and services. This update was recently seen on Google’s support page, especially on the Hindi-language version, suggesting that the feature may be launching first in India or Hindi-speaking regions.

What’s New?

With this update, users can choose a new Gmail address without losing:

Old emails

Google Drive files

YouTube subscriptions

Access to services like Maps, Photos, and Docs

Your old Gmail address will continue to work as an alias, which means any email sent to the old address will still arrive in the same inbox. You can also continue using the old address to sign in to Google services.

Important Limits to Know

Google has placed a few restrictions on this feature:

You can change your Gmail address only once every 12 months

A maximum of three changes are allowed per account

Once you choose a new address, it cannot be deleted

After changing, you cannot create another new Gmail address for one year

The feature is being released gradually, so it may not be available to everyone yet.

How to Change Your Gmail Address (Web)

1. Go to myaccount.google.com/google-account-email

2. Click on Personal info

3. Select Email, then Google account email

4. Click Change email address for your Google account

(If you don’t see this option, your account may not be eligible yet)

5. Enter your new Gmail address and confirm

How to Change Gmail Address on Android

1. Open myaccount.google.com/google-account-email on your Android phone

2. Sign in to your Google account

3. Tap Personal info

4. Tap Email → Google account email

5. Tap Change email address for your Google account (only if eligible)

6. Enter your new Gmail address and confirm

Final Note

Once the process is complete, your new Gmail address becomes active immediately, while your old address continues to receive emails and works for login. Google has not yet shared a global rollout timeline, so users may need to wait if the option is not visible yet.

This update is helpful for users who want a cleaner or more professional email address without starting a new Google account.
