Title: Google Is Rolling Out the Ability for US Gmail Users to Change Their Email Address Without Losing Data

by | Apr 2, 2026 | E-commerce News

Google is rolling out a feature that lets US Gmail users change their username once every 12 months without losing access to their existing emails, contacts, or account data, with the old address remaining active as an alternate sign-in option. Users can access the change through Google Account settings under Personal info, though the rollout is gradual and not all users will have immediate access. The feature was previously spotted rolling out in Hindi-speaking territories before expanding to the US.
