Google finally lets you change your Gmail address: What it means for your digital life

• Gmail users can now change their @gmail.com address while retaining their Google Account and all data.
• The old Gmail address becomes an alias; emails sent to it will still reach the same inbox.
• All saved data (photos, Google Drive, contacts, purchases, history) remains untouched and accessible.
• Restrictions apply: 3 changes per account, 12-month lock after change, old username unavailable for new accounts for a year.
• This update allows users to reshape their online identity without losing their digital history.

Why It Matters: Google now allows Gmail address changes, offering flexibility without losing your digital history.
