Same inbox, not a security risk, you see which version the email was sent to

How do I change my email adress but keep the same google account I’m sick of all the spam emails my email has got leaked in data breaches and it’s so fucked up now.

You kind of need to start over. When you do, use a Forwarded Email Alias service. They generate a random email address and forward it to your main account. The one I like is called SimpleLogin, and it integrates with Bitwarden Password Manager. The tip the OP posted and using + addresses some data brokers filter out.

Problem is I’m linked to a lot of accounts with this google account I have and I have 2fa active so iv never been hacked but I get so many phishing emails that don’t get filtered to spam.

Too late for that, it’s a preventative measure going forward - don’t give you your main email and chastise anyone who uses it without permission
