I don’t like my Google email address and want to change it.
Even if you look for it, it’s hard to find about #googleemailchange.
So I’ll try it myself, find it, and share the results of the test.
It is possible to change the Google email, but there are restrictions.
We will explain why in turn below. 구글 이메일 주소 변경
Google login screen
Log in to Google and click the About me icon in the upper right corner. 윤과장의 소소한 일상 이야기
Next, tap Manage Google Account.
Next, when this screen appears, click Privacy on the left.
It came out like this, but click the email in the contact information below.
When I came in, it said that I couldn’t change my email address above… I’m sorry.
Can’t stop here. Let’s break down why it’s impossible.
(The address below is a link so you can find it yourself, so you don’t have to see it.)
Change the email address for your account – Computer – Google Account Help
Changing the email address for your account If necessary, you can change the email address (username) you use for your Google Account. Role of this email address When you log in, your email address will be displayed next to your name and profile picture. Select your profile picture or initials to find your email address.

As indicated by the arrow, if your account’s email address ends in @gmail.com, you generally cannot change it.
Yes. If my current email address is @gmail.com, it is generally said that it is not possible to change it.
But let’s see if there is another way.
Gmail -> When changing to a non-Gmail address, it says that the existing Gmail address must be deleted.
Non-Gmail address -> It says that you need to add Gmail to your account to convert to Gmail.
Gmail -> Gmail change is not listed.
After all, it is possible to change, but it is said that it is possible to change Gmail -> non-Gmail address or vice versa.
If you want to proceed with this method, it is recommended that you go to the site above and learn how to delete the address and how to add Gmail before proceeding.
I will proceed with the method below, not the method above.
If you can’t change it, it’s called action.
If you can’t change it further, it will ask you to add that email address as a secondary email.
Or it just tells me to create another Gmail account.
Well… First, let’s go through how to add a secondary email.
How to change and contents on Android and iPhone. almost the same
Above is the process for Android and iPhone, both are similar.
This is the screen you saw above. Select Secondary Email here.
You will be asked to enter your email password as a verification process.
It says to add a secondary email.
I will add Kakao mail.
As for why I added it as Kakao mail… It says Gmail.com account is not allowed as a secondary email.
I see. Adding a secondary email was also not possible with a Gmail.com account.
If you enter it, an email has been sent to that email and asks you to confirm it.
Enter the email, read the email sent, and click OK to apply.
In this way, the Kakao email is registered as a secondary email.
At first, there was nothing in the secondary email, but now you can see that it has been added.
Let’s log in.
When I logged in with my new Kakao account, I was logged in with my old email.
You can now log in with two email accounts.
But I guess this is all.
When you simply log in, you can log in with a different email account, and the detailed functions are the same as before.
I tried this and that, but um… In the end, it was concluded that changing Gmail -> Gmail was impossible.
– conclusion –
1. It is impossible to change Gmail -> Gmail.
2. Gmail -> Non-Gmail account or vice versa can be changed
A simple way is to add a secondary email
There is a way to change only the login ID.
3. Otherwise, you have to create a new Gmail account and use it.
It seems like this.
It’s a bit embarrassing that I can’t come to the desired conclusion…
Still, thank you so much for missing the long post ~ (–)(__)
be happy !!
