Good news for folks who regret the Gmail address they chose when they enrolled for an account: Google is now allowing users to modify it. Google discreetly began rolling out the update in India late last year, and announced this week in a blog post that it is now available to all Google Account users in the United States. There was no indication of when it will be offered to consumers in other nations.
Google’s CEO stated that the update will be welcomed by users who want to preserve their accounts but have outgrown the awkward, embarrassing, or meaningless Gmail aliases they created when the service was began 22 years ago.
The technique is quite simple to follow. First, navigate to your Google account page. From the Google homepage in your computer browser or the Google mobile app, click the account symbol in the upper right corner, then Manage your Google Account, Personal details, and Email.
Now you’ll need to enter your new address, so make sure you know what you want. Then click to confirm that you wish to make the changes. Google states that addresses cannot be similar to any current addresses or those that were “used by someone in the past and then deleted.
