What you need to know
- Google is preparing a feature that allows users to change their Gmail username without making a new account.
- All data like emails, photos, Drive files, and messages will stay intact, and both old and new addresses will work.
- Users can only change their Gmail address once every 12 months, with a total limit of up to three changes.
- The feature isn't live yet, but a Google support page update suggests the rollout could begin very soon.
