Google is 'gradually rolling out' option to change your gmail.com address
4 months ago

- Google is rolling out a new feature allowing users to change their '@gmail.com' email address.
- Previously, only third-party email addresses could be changed, not '@gmail.com' addresses.
- The change is gradually rolling out, with support pages currently visible only in Hindi.
- Users can change their '@gmail.com' address to a new one, with the old address becoming an alias.
- Emails will still be received at both old and new addresses, and account data remains unaffected.
- Each account can change its '@gmail.com' address up to 3 times, totaling 4 addresses.
- The old address remains tied to the account and cannot be used by others.
- Changes will not be immediately reflected in older instances like Calendar events.
- Users will be able to change their Gmail address via 'My Account' once the feature is live.
