Gmail Users Can Now Switch Their Email Addresses Without Losing Data

Google has finally made a big change that many users have been asking for.

Now, you can change your Gmail address without having to create a new account. This means no more dealing with an old, unprofessional email address if you don't want to.

New Feature Details

The new feature lets you pick a new @gmail.com address while keeping all your old emails, files, and settings. Your old address doesn't get deleted; it just becomes an alias. So, you'll still get emails sent to both the new and old addresses.

Important Rules and Considerations

• You can't change your address again for a year.
• You might need to update some settings on other websites where you use your Google account.
• Google recommends backing up your important data before making the switch.

Availability

Not everyone has this feature yet. It's rolling out slowly, so you might not see the option right away. If you want to check, go to your Google account settings and look for the option to change your email address.

Why This is a Big Deal

This is a big deal because it gives users more control over their online identity. Before, changing your email address was a hassle. Now, it's much easier.
