Google Gives Users the Power to Change Their Primary Email Address
According to a recently discovered support document, Google is introducing a long-awaited feature allowing users to modify their primary @gmail.com address or establish a new alias. This marks a significant shift in Google’s email account management policies, previously restricting users from altering this core identifier. As noted in a Telegram group, Google has begun rolling out this capability, expanding beyond just custom email addresses.

A Long-Awaited Feature Finally Unveiled
Previously, Google allowed switching between various aliases for email accounts, but users could not alter their "@gmail.com" address. Google intends to address this limitation, granting users greater control over their email accounts. “The email address associated with your Google Account is the address you use to sign in to Google services. This email address helps you and others identify your account,” Google explained. “If you’d like, you can change your Google Account email address that ends in gmail.com to a new email address that ends in gmail.com.”

Initial Rollout: A Limited Test in India
While Google hasn’t yet made an official announcement regarding this feature, its availability is indicated by the existence of a support document, which is currently only available in Hindi (Indian language), suggesting a potential limited rollout in India. This signifies a cautious approach to a potentially wide-reaching change.

Accessing the New Feature Within Settings
Access to the feature will be found within the Settings, and the Settings page will include a link to this support document. This suggests Google is prioritizing a straightforward user experience for initial adopters.

No Deactivation: Existing Accounts Remain Active
The individual maintains two @gmail.com email addresses, which are functioning as aliases. Notably, changing your @gmail.com address will not deactivate the original address, and you will likely continue to have access to it. This provides continued flexibility for users who currently manage multiple email identities.
