For years, Google has enforced a restriction on changing the @gmail addresses it hands out when signing up for a new account. Apart from email, that's the address you use to log into any Google service, like YouTube, so many of us have been stuck with old identities we'd like to move on from. Fortunately, this convenience appears to be within reach, as the Google Pixel Hub Telegram group has spotted an official Google support document outlining the feature.
The support page is only in Hindi, suggesting that the rollout is limited to India for now. Even then, Google clearly states that users will gradually begin to see this option, indicating that global adoption is still some way off. Still, we're looking at official info here, not a leaked excerpt, so Gmail truthers can rejoice.
