- Feature Rollout: Google is gradually introducing a feature that allows users to change their Gmail address while retaining their original address as an alias, thereby eliminating the hassle of creating a new account and migrating data, which enhances user experience.
- Market Focus: The feature was first spotted on the Hindi version of the help page, suggesting an initial rollout primarily targeting India and other Hindi-speaking markets, indicating Google's strategic emphasis on these regions.
- Data Security: After changing their address, users will find that all existing content, including emails, photos, and messages, remain unaffected, ensuring data integrity and security, which helps maintain user trust.
- Usage Limitations: Users who change their address will be unable to create another new Gmail address for 12 months and cannot delete the newly selected address, which may impact user flexibility and choice.
