As of April 1, Gmail will have been around for 22 years. Many of us have a poorly chosen email address that's laced with regret, but we're now stuck with it. We've perhaps had it for longer than most college students have been alive and that's how others get in touch with us. Google is now giving us a chance to move on and change our Gmail address to something more appropriate.
All users in the US can now change their Google Account username — the bit before the @ in your Gmail address. Google said in December that it was gradually rolling out this option to all users.
To change your Google Account username, go to the email settings page. From there, click or tap on Personal info Email Google Account email. If the ability to alter your username has been enabled on your account, you'll see a Change Google Account email option. Click on this to start modifying your username.
You'll only be able to change your username once every

Screenshots promoting "Instagram Plus" have been spotted by users in the Philippines and Mexico in recent days. According to social media consultant Matt Navarra, a subscription to Instagram Plus includes several Story-focused features not otherwise available to Instagram users. This includes the ability to create multiple audiences for Stories posts, search the list of people who have viewed your Story, extend Stories longer than 24 hours and create "spotlight" Stories. It also mentions something called "super hearts" for reacting to Stories.
A spokesperson for Meta confirmed the test to Engadget, saying that Instagram Plus is currently available in "a few countries." The spokesperson added that "preview" would allow people to see some of another user's Story without "showing up as a viewer". There's nothing quite like paying to be sneakier on social media.
The idea, as we've seen so far, seems closely modeled after Snapchat , which also offers bonus features to the app's power users. Launched in 2022, the service has now become a significant driver of non-advertising revenue for the company.
