Unable to change phone number for Apple ID

How do I change my phone number for an old email address for Apple ID. I can’t download many of my apps on the new iPhone. My phone number has changed and I can only access my Gmail account Apple ID, it’s showing my yahoo email account with an old number so I can’t get verified?

You need to change/add the number on your Yahoo Apple ID. Look in the Security section when signed in online. You may have to add the new number before you can remove the old number. After the change, allow up to 24 hours for the change to sync. Before trying to make the change, sign out of Messages/FaceTime on all devices/computers.
