  @IsaacKing314 And as an addendum, you shouldn't associate or store anything critical with the identity you get through Gmail. They can shut you down and leave you without any recourse for regaining access.

  Obviously there's other options like not using Gmail or google, but if you don't want to change search engines / emails due to missing features or missing search results (most people's major issue with alternatives) then this helps de-AI-ing Gmail and google

  @gmail I am having trouble signing into my Gmail account. I don’t have any backup pass keys and the phone number listed on my account needs to be updated. Plus, I don’t remember my password all my important emails are in there.

  Tweet 4 of 6 — The fix: 5 minutes. 4 accounts. That’s all it takes: ✅ Email (Gmail/Outlook/Apple) ✅ Bank ✅ Amazon ✅ Apple ID or Google account Free. No tech knowledge needed. ↓

  HAVE YOU NOTICED ANY CHANGES WITH NEW GMAIL ACCOUNTS YOU’VE CREATED RECENTLY? Google is quietly testing a smaller storage limit for new Gmail accounts by trialing a 5GB storage cap for new sign-ups, down from the usual 15GB. To unlock the full 15GB, new users are required to add a phone number to their account. This change is only affecting new accounts in select regions (mostly reported in parts of Africa so far). Existing Gmail accounts remain unaffected and will continue to have the standard 15 GB storage limit. Why is Google doing this? There are two main reasons behind this move: 1. Security & Account Recovery Google wants more users to add phone numbers for better account protection and easier recovery. This has been a long-standing push, and tying storage to phone verification is a clever way to incentivize it. 2. Reducing Storage Abuse Many people create multiple Gmail accounts primarily to get more free cloud storage. By lowering the default storage for unverified accounts, Google is making it less attractive to create throwaway accounts just for storage. This move reflects a broader trend across big tech, free tiers are gradually getting tighter. Google (like many other platforms) is finding ways to: 1. Collect more user data (phone numbers) 2. Reduce abuse of free services Push users toward paid storage (Google One) over time While existing users are safe for now, this test suggests that Google may continue exploring ways to make the free experience slightly less generous for new users. So, for most of you who already have a Gmail account, you’re fine. Your 15GB isn’t going anywhere. If you’re creating new accounts, you may only get 5GB unless you verify with a phone number. This is currently a test, but if successful, it could roll out more widely. Big tech companies are slowly reshaping what “free” actually means. Storage, reach, and features that were once freely available are increasingly being used as leverage to collect more data or drive users toward paid plans.

  @omgsidewalks Easy fix: stop using gmail and other google related sites (search, youtube, blogger, etc.). Try @startpage. Their AI is hidden and optional (better not to have any, though).

  Google just launched Gemini Spark. A personal AI agent that runs 24/7 on Google Cloud infrastructure. It keeps working after you close your laptop. Here's how it actually works. Spark connects to your Gmail, calendar, docs, and sheets. You give it a task. It breaks that task into steps. It works through each step autonomously. It only pauses to ask you when it hits a high-risk action. Like sending an email or updating a document. Google showed a live demo during the keynote. A salesperson asked Spark to prepare for a client meeting. Spark went into Salesforce, pulled the full account history. Checked support tickets for recent issues. Identified a risk in the data. Drafted a retention strategy in Docs. Wrote a client email ready for review. The person just showed up, read what Spark built, and pressed send. Zero prep work. Just results. Now map that to your own business. Spark monitors your channel analytics overnight. If a video underperforms in the first 3 hours, it flags it. Pulls the data. Drafts a thumbnail and title split test. Your team wakes up to a fix already in progress. The gap between reacting and acting is now measured in hours, not days. What's the first task you'd hand off to an agent that never sleeps?

  Wait is it even possible just to make a new account with an email, it’s like forcing me to login either with an existing gmail account or phone number

  the new Gmail icon. I hate it even more at smaller sizes. two problems: -the left side reads as solid red at small sizes. the connection between the two elements disappears because of low contrast with the pink. -color balance is off. the whole left side is dominated by red. here's my take solving these issues and keeping a better reference to the previous icon.

  @ThomasOrTK Mr Kurien - I wish Google fixed the spam filters in Gmail which is of higher order of importance before going after lower order problems from a consumer pov.

  ...fundamentally broken and blackbox app is just mocking GMS environment. Google auth sign-in doesnt work officially at all. So Gmail send/receive mail can't work with GMS as GMS itself practically doesn't even exist in the environment Scope's now way beyond initial contract. 🤔

  My GMAIL was hacked. The hacker changed my birthdate to make it a child account under their Family Link parent control. now I can't sign in without their approval, and standard recovery options are blocked. He deleted my account. Is there any way i can get back my email ?

  Your Private Proxy (@YourPrivateProx) reported 41 minutes ago

  @trangyta @FeyiLux Yes, but use static residential, not rotating. Log into that Gmail the first time from the same IP you'll use long-term in that profile. Google ties device+IP to account trust from first login — switching IPs later flags it even with a clean fingerprint.

  This is how I solve this problem in cause you are having similar issues. After I received the Gmail that my Adsense account was disapproved, I waited for few minutes that login to that Adsense account and close it down totally and waited to get a confirmation from google 🧵

  @Google @gmail AI Inbox looks useful for managing emails. But it’s ironic — Google is developing advanced AI to help with inboxes, while their YouTube platform still relies on broken AI that wrongly terminates original creators’ channels with zero human review. Maybe apply some of that AI innovation to fixing YouTube first? @TeamYouTube

  I FINALLY got access to Google’s new Gmail rename feature. For YEARS I was stuck with an email I made when I was younger because changing it meant: • making a new account • moving everything manually • fixing every login one by one • losing years of account history Now Google is slowly letting some users change their actual @gmail.com address directly. No migration. No fresh account. No nightmare. To check if you got it: • open Google Account • Personal info • Email • Google Account email If you see “Change Google Account email” then you’re in. Did anyone else get access yet?

  @Cloudflare @CloudflareHelp @CloudflareDev I'm migrating a client to Cloudflare, but when he tried creating an account w/ his Gmail it gave an error & said to contact support. Which he can't because it requires an account... He sent an email 2 days ago w/ no response. What to do?
