Good News! Google Will Allow Users to Change Gmail Address

Google is preparing a new system that allows users to change their Gmail address. With this feature, users can change email identities without losing data and messages.

This feature is revealed in Google's latest support documentation. Launching from a report from 9to5google, the documentation shows that users will be given the freedom to choose a new Gmail address.

After changing, the old address that was used will not disappear, but will still function as an alias that is connected to the main account. This is a major policy that will benefit many Gmail users.

Reportedly, Google will impose some restrictions on users who want to try this feature. Users are only allowed to change their Gmail address once in a 12-month period.

Overall, Google only provides a maximum of three times the opportunity to change the Gmail address. This is done so that users are more careful in changing the email address that was previously used.

The launch of this feature will be carried out gradually and most likely not immediately available to all global users. Currently, information regarding international availability is still awaiting confirmation from Google.

This very useful feature is expected to be widely available in 2026. The presence of this feature is expected to be a solution for those who want to update the email name to be more professional without having to create a new account.
