How many times have you wanted to change your Gmail address? For over 20 years, the answer was always the same: you couldn't. That username you created in middle school or college was locked in forever. You were stuck with it no matter how much you regretted it or how much it didn't represent who you are now.
Google finally listened. You can change your Gmail address without losing anything — emails, files, photos, Google services, everything stays exactly where it is. Your old address just becomes a permanent backup that still receives emails sent to it. You can make this change once per year, so choose wisely.
