New Delhi [India], April 13 (HBTV): Google has introduced a new feature allowing Gmail users to change their usernames, offering flexibility to those who wish to update older or outdated email addresses.
The update was announced by Google CEO Sundar Pichai on X.
‘2004 was a good year, but your Gmail address doesn’t need to be stuck in it. To say goodbye to v0t3f0rp3dr02004@gmail.com or mrbrightside416@gmail.com (or whatever you were into at the time), go to your Google Account settings and choose any name available. You’ll keep your old username and you can sign in with both,’ he posted.
After changing the Gmail username, the old email address will remain linked to the account as an alternate address, ensuring that emails sent to it will continue to reach the user’s inbox.
According to The Verge, users should choose their new username carefully, as only one new email address can be created every 12 months.
