One Tech Tip: Got an Awkward or Embarrassing Gmail Address? Google Is Now Letting Users Change It
Users can update their Gmail address without creating a new account, while Google also expands Gemini-powered inbox tools for some US users.
- On Tuesday, Google launched a feature enabling U.S. Gmail users to change their account usernames without creating new accounts, retaining all emails and data in the process.
- For 22 years, Gmail users were forced to create entirely new accounts to change email handles, often losing access to previous messages, files, and professional contacts.
- Users navigate to Settings, then Personal info, Email, and select "Change Google Account email" to update their handle; Google limits changes to once every 12 months with a 30-day lockout between attempts.
- Google retains the old username linked to the account, ensuring emails sent to the previous address continue arriving in the user's inbox without risk of message loss.
- While currently available to all U.S. Gmail users, Google plans to expand this feature globally in coming months, following internal testing that began late last year.
