Gmail Users: Disable This AI-Training Opt-In Now

You can opt out in two places on desktop (Settings > General > Smart features and Manage Workplace smart feature settings) and on mobile (Settings > Data privacy > Smart features / Google Workspace smart features). Turning off these features may disable tools like Smart Compose, inbox categorization, and spell-check, but it gives you privacy control. The piece notes privacy concerns and reports of a class-action, though Google says Gmail content isn’t used to train Gemini.

Google opens option to change Gmail address, with old one kept as alias

Google is gradually rolling out a feature that lets you change your @gmail.com address; the old address becomes an alias, so emails go to both addresses and your data stays intact, and you can switch back later. The new address can’t be deleted, and only a limited number of new aliases can be created per year (12-month limit). Access the option at myaccount.google.com/google-account-email, noting it may not be available for all accounts yet.

Google Rolls Out In-Account Gmail Address Change With 12-Month Limit

Google is gradually adding a feature to change the primary @gmail.com address on a Google Account to a new Gmail address. The old address becomes an alternate and data stays intact; users can sign in with either address. Eligibility is checked via myaccount.google.com > Personal info > Email, with the option appearing for eligible accounts as rollout continues. There’s a 12-month cooldown preventing creation of another new @gmail.com, and work accounts require admin approval. While the change can boost security and reduce phishing risk, hurry-free changes may cause sign-in disruptions if recovery options lag, so back up data and enable two-factor authentication before proceeding.
