Google rolls out gradient-powered icons for Gmail, Drive, Calendar and more

Google is gradually rolling out a gradient redesign for Workspace icons, updating apps like Gmail, Drive, Docs, Calendar and Tasks with colorful gradients. The new icons are visible on Google's homepage launcher, but in-app icons haven’t all updated yet. The refresh moves away from the old four-color scheme to softer gradients (Calendar and Meet show distinct blue/yellow shifts; Keep and Tasks also look different). A broader rollout is expected around Google I/O 2026.

Turning off Gemini: how to remove Google's AI from Workspace apps

Engadget explains how to disable Google's Gemini AI across Google Workspace: first turn off smart features in Gmail (which also disables them in Chat and Meet), then adjust Workspace smart-feature settings; completely removing Gemini in an organization may require admin action, and turning off Gemini can affect basic features like spelling and inbox categorization, so you can selectively disable Workspace features while keeping some AI helpers in other Google apps.

Gmail Gets a Fresh Start: Change Your Username Without Losing Your Data

Google is rolling out a feature that lets you change your Gmail username (the part before @gmail.com) without resetting your account data. Your old address remains available as an alias, and all data stays intact, with the option to switch back. Availability is currently limited to the US and India, and you can change your username only once per year (up to four usernames total per account, since you can change it three times after the original). Chromebook users may need to remove and re-add their Google account, and you may need to sign back into some apps after the change.

Gmail on mobile now supports native end-to-end encryption for eligible enterprise users

Google has rolled out native client-side end-to-end encryption (E2EE) to Gmail’s Android and iOS apps for Workspace customers with Enterprise Plus licenses (and related add-ons). Users can compose and read E2EE emails directly in the Gmail app, while recipients on other services can read them in a web browser; keys are user-controlled and stored outside Google’s servers, with admin setup via the CSE Admin Console.

Gmail Gets a Fresh Start: Change Your Email Address (Once a Year)

Google is rolling out in the US a new option to change your Gmail address (they call it your 'account username') with a limit of once per year. To switch, go to Personal info > Email in your Google Account (or Gmail Settings > Manage Your Google Account on mobile). Your old emails will continue to arrive at the old address, and no data is lost during the transition. This can help users who want to fix a deadname or adopt a more professional email. If you’d rather avoid Google altogether, Proton Mail is highlighted as a privacy-focused alternative that can import data from Google.

Gmail now lets you rename your address without starting from scratch

Google is rolling out a US-wide option to change the Gmail username (the part before @gmail) without creating a new account. You can switch once per 12 months, with data intact and the old address kept as an alias you can still log in with; some services may still show the old handle, and Chromebook users may need to re-login and back up data due to related caveats.

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

Gmail has an automatic opt-in that allows Google to access your emails and attachments to train AI models. 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).
