Google has a new update that allows users to change their Gmail address without losing important emails, photos, and messages. Even better, you'll still receive emails from the old address and you can still use it to sign in to Google services.
To change your Gmail address, go to your Google Account on a computer, select Personal info, then click Email. Under Google Account email, select Edit if available, and enter a new email address that isn't already used by another account. Follow the instructions and verify the email via the verification link.
But there's a catch before you can be completely happy. You can't change an email address if it ends in @gmail.com. If your account is from work, school, or organization, you'll need help from an administrator.
In addition, you cannot create a new Gmail address within 12 months, and you cannot delete the new Gmail address you created. So make sure the decision is final before changing.
Overall, this update is a great help for those looking to improve their online identity, but it's important to understand the limitations before taking action.
