Want your old Gmail ID changed? Users can soon update email usernames. Here's how the feature works

Google is quietly rolling out a long-awaited feature that will allow users to change their existing @gmail.com email address without creating a new account or losing data. Spotted first on Googles Hindi-language support pages, the update lets users replace their Gmail username while keeping all emails, photos, and access to services like Drive and YouTube intact. The original email address will remain as an alias, though the feature comes with limits on how often changes can be made and is being introduced gradually.
