To rename your email address, you need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Check if you can change it
First, go to your Android device’s Settings app and open it. Then, find and tap on the “Google” option. This will take you to the settings related to your Google account. Once you’re in the Google settings, look for the option that says “Manage your Google Account” and tap on it.

Step 2: Access your personal information
After tapping on “Manage your Google Account,” you will be taken to a new screen with various options. At the top of this screen, you will see a tab or button labeled “Personal info.” Tap on it to proceed.

Now, you should see your current email address listed under your personal information. Next to your email address, there should be an option to “Edit” it. Tap on this option to begin the process of changing your email address.

Step 4: Enter the new email address
Once you’ve selected the “Edit” option, a text box or field should appear where you can enter your new email address. Carefully type in the new email address that you want to use. Double-check for any spelling mistakes or typos to ensure accuracy.

Step 5: Save the changes
After entering the new email address, look for a button or option to save the changes you’ve made. The wording may vary, but it could be something like “Save,” “Apply,” or “Done.” Tap on this button to finalize the process.

Step 6: Verify the new email address
In some cases, you may need to verify ownership of the new email address before it becomes fully active. This typically involves receiving a verification code or link via email or text message. Follow the instructions provided to complete the verification process.

That’s it! By following these steps, you should be able to successfully rename your email address on your Android device. Remember to update any other accounts or services that are associated with your old email address to ensure a smooth transition.
