How to check creation date of Google account?

  In this manual I will show you how to check it in a few ways.

Google doesn't provide direct methods of knowing, what was your creation date of Google account. But you can do some steps to estimate the date.

Mail messages

If we were using Gmail since the beginning of Google account, we can create a filter in Gmail and go to the oldest messages. Date of the oldest will be approximately the date of creating Google account.

Backup e-mail

During creation of Google account, we could provide backup e-mail to recovery. If we did so, we should receive an e-mail on the backup mailbox with information, that this e-mail will be used for recovery purposes. Date of this e-mail points approximately to the creation date of Google account.

Copy of your data

Very interesting option is using Takeout. It's a tool provided by Google, where we can make a backup our data across Google account. You can find there all data related to various Google services. So, follow the link and tick only the option:
