Google has finally started rolling out one of the most anticipated features i.e. changing the “Gmail primary address”.
The most notable feature is that you can change it without losing any data or creating a new account.
This will solve an old problem for users. Users had outdated, unprofessional, and even embarrassing email addresses from their youth that could not be changed due to the data stored on them.
Previously, getting a new @gmail.com was a cumbersome process as it involved creating a new account each time. Users used to transfer data manually.
However, with this new system, users can select a new address while their existing account and data (emails, Google Photos, and linked services) remain intact.
An important point to consider is that your old email address will not be lost. The old Gmail ID will become an automatic alias, you will still receive mail, and it will function as a sign-in option for Google services like YouTube and Maps.
Beyond its advantages, the feature also has some restrictions. The new address must also end in @gmail.com and another address cannot be created for 12 months after a change.
