Hints have appeared online that Gmail users will soon be able to change the email address for their Google account. Previously, users could only change the address if it was not an @gmail.com address. However, on an Indian support page, Google now announces that this is set to change.
On the page in Hindi, it states: "Important notice: The feature to change the email address of a Google account is being rolled out gradually to all users. Therefore, this option may not be available to you currently." (translated with DeepL). A change from an @gmail.com address is only possible to another @gmail.com address. The old address will remain as an alias and can continue to receive messages and be used for login.

Existing data and messages will also be retained. A change is possible once a year. The fact that the document currently only appears in India could indicate that Google wants to test the feature there before a worldwide launch.
