Do you want to change your Apple ID email? It is easy and doable. Let’s get you started with the steps to get the process straight. It’s going to take only a few minutes!
Can we change the Apple email ID?
Yes, you can definitely change the email address associated with your Apple ID without losing your apps, photos, or anything associated with the account. It doesn’t affect your account in any way if, at any time, you have thought so. But that changes the email associated with it to make things updated for it. You just head into your Settings, tap your name, and look for Sign In & Security. From there, you can swap the old email for a new one, and that’s it. But we’ll elaborate this for you. Just make sure you have access to the new inbox to find the verification code that Apple sends you.
Steps to change the Apple email ID
If you want to change your Apple email ID, then these are the steps that you can follow.
Take Care of Things Beforehand
First, make sure you actually have access to the new email address you want to use. This is paramount! You’ll need to grab a verification code from it almost immediately. It takes a few seconds.
Proceed
Now, go to Settings, tap on your Name at the very top, and then click on Sign In & Security.
Edit Your Info
You’ll see your current email at the top of the screen. Tap on Edit, then tap the red minus (-) button to delete it. Follow the prompts that appear on the screen to “Add a new email address.”
Verify It
Once you type in the new address, Apple will send a verification code to that inbox. You can open your mail, find the code, and enter it into your phone to proceed.
Update Your Devices
This is an equally important thing to remember and follow. Once the change is official, you might get a “Sign-In Requested” pop-up on your iPad or Mac. Use your new email and your old password to log back in, and it will be taken care of. It’s that simple! Just make sure that you have saved or noted the email and password somewhere! This helps you keep them handy whenever you’re signing into a new device.
That is all you need to in order to update your email ID associated with Apple. It may take a few minutes, and it remains so until and unless you decide to change it again.
