Gmail Users Can Now Change Email Address Without New Account

• Google rolls out a new feature allowing Gmail users to change their @gmail.com address without creating a new account.
• Existing data, Google services (Drive, Maps, YouTube), and old emails remain intact after the change.
• The old email address becomes an "alias," continuing to receive emails and function for sign-ins.
• This feature provides relief for users with old, unprofessional email IDs, avoiding manual data transfer and app disconnections.
• First indications appeared on Google's Hindi support page; global rollout is gradual, with restrictions like a 12-month waiting period for another change.

Why It Matters: Google now lets Gmail users update their email address while keeping all data and services.
