By-Steps Guidelines
This feature is gradually being released, so not all users will have access right away. To see if you qualify:
On your computer, navigate to myaccount.google.com/google-account-email.
Select “Personal Information” on the left.
Click on “Google Account email.”
Look for a new option labeled “Change your Google Account email address.”
If the option is missing, the feature has likely not reached your account yet. If it is available, you can click it and enter a new, available username.
This feature is flexible, but Google has safeguards. After changing your address, you can’t create a new @gmail.com address for 12 months, but you can switch back to your old address anytime.
Google warns that changing your primary email is like signing in on a new device, which might reset some app settings.
Users of “Sign in with Google” on third-party sites or Chromebooks should check Google’s support guidelines for possible re-authentication.
Google advises backing up contacts and mobile data before starting the switch.
