You can now change your Gmail address: Here's how
26 Dec 2025

Google is introducing a new feature that allows users to change their email address, even if it is an "@gmail.com" one.

The tech giant had earlier allowed this only for third-party email addresses.

The update was spotted on a Google support page and is said to be rolling out gradually across all accounts.

Support page details the new process
Feature specifics

The updated support page explains that users will soon be able to change their Google Account email address ending in gmail.com to a new one with the same domain.

This means you can keep your existing Gmail account but have a different username.

The original email address will still receive emails and work for sign-in after the change, ensuring no disruption in account access.

Limitations and conditions for address change
User guidelines

Google has set some limitations with this new feature. You can change your "@gmail.com" address up to three times, totaling four different addresses.

However, once you make the change, you can't delete or change the email again for 12 months.

The old Gmail address will still be visible in some instances like Calendar events created before the update and you can also send emails from it.

Process will be available via 'My Account'
Access point

The new feature to change your Gmail address will be accessible via the "My Account" section once it goes live.

This update is expected to provide more flexibility and personalization options for users, making their experience with Google services even better.

However, as of now, the changes are not yet live and further details are awaited from the tech giant.
