Summary

Hide ▲

Google is rolling out a feature that allows users to change their @gmail.com address or create a new alias. This update provides users with greater control over their email identities. The feature is currently being tested in India, as indicated by a Hindi support document. Users with access will find the option in their Gmail settings. The original address will remain active, effectively creating an alias. Google has confirmed that the feature is gradually rolling out to all users. The previous address becomes an alias and remains active, allowing users to receive emails to both old and new addresses. Data saved in the account won't be affected by the change. Google limits the creation of new email addresses for the same account for the next 12 months, and users cannot delete their new email address.
