How to Change Your Gmail Address Without Losing Emails or Data

Still using the Gmail ID you created in school? It’s time for a professional upgrade.

Good news: You can change your Gmail username without losing any data.

Open Google Account Settings on your phone or Chrome browser.

Go to Personal Details → Contact Info → Email.

Tap Edit under email settings to update your Gmail address.

Don’t see the option? The feature is still rolling out to all users.

After the change, all old emails, Drive files, and data remain intact.

Your Gmail stays connected to apps, services, and digital identity as before.

This feature lets you change only the username, not the entire account.

Google treats Gmail as a digital identity, not just an email service.

Not everyone has access yet—availability depends on device and account.

There’s no official rollout date for all users worldwide.

Important: Gmail allows username change only once a year.

Double-check spelling before saving—mistakes can’t be fixed immediately.

A cleaner, professional email—without losing anything—is finally possible.
