How do you change security questions on an iPhone 8?

Hi I’m wondering how do you change security question on a iPhone 8 because every time I say change it comes up saying we do not have sufficient information to reset your security questions

If you see the message "not sufficient information" read this link:

Security and your Apple ID - https://support.apple.com/HT201303

"Without proof of your identity ... and other carefully selected criteria, Apple Support can't help you perform any actions on your account."


Apple does have "Account Recovery when you can’t reset your Apple ID password" ( https://support.apple.com/HT204921 ) which it specifies is available for "when you don’t have enough information to reset your password." However, it also states it is "if you use two-factor authentication" which you may not be if you are still using security questions. You can investigate if this is even available to you.


With that in consideration you can try to "Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security".

To talk by telephone: Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support --> https://support.apple.com/HT201232


For other support options including those if your country does not have telephone support: https://support.apple.com/choose-country-region To chat, choose any topic, (not Apple ID) continue working your way down options until you find one with chat support, then ask to be redirected.

(Note: If your country is not listed, there may be a support option at the end of each region section for "other".)
