SAEDNEWS: How to Change Your Gmail Username on Phone and Laptop: Simple Guide to Google Account and Email Profile Settings
According to Saednews, After years of anticipation, Google has finally enabled the ability to change Gmail usernames for users in the United States—a feature that removes the need to create a new account just to get a new email address.
This new capability, which will be explained step by step in the technology section of Namnak, offers users significantly greater flexibility and provides a simple solution for moving away from old, unprofessional, or inconvenient email addresses.
To protect account security and prevent misuse, Google has introduced several restrictions for this feature:
Username changes are allowed only once every 12 months
A maximum of three new usernames can be set over the lifetime of an account (four addresses in total, including the original one)
If you change your username and later change your mind, you must wait 30 days before selecting a new one again
These rules ensure that users can manage their email addresses without putting their accounts at risk or causing instability.
One of the key updates is that your original email address is not removed. After the change, the old address is saved as an alternate email. This provides several benefits:
All messages sent to the previous address will still be delivered to your main inbox
It remains possible to send outgoing emails using the old address
No disruption occurs in personal or professional communications, and contacts are not confused
To change your username in a Google Account, follow these steps:
Tap your profile icon in any Google service to access your Google Account
Select “Manage your Google Account”
Go to the “Personal Info” section
Open “Email” and click on “Google Account email”
Select “Change Google Account email” and complete the identity verification and new username setup process
