Your Apple ID is the personal account you use with all Apple products and services. It includes the email address and password you use to sign in, as well as the contact, payment, and security details that you use with Apple.

 

You can’t merge multiple Apple ID accounts.

First off all thank you for the reply 🙏 ,

second sorry my bad I meant remove the old email address.


here is answer to the questions:


  • Have you forgotten your Apple ID?

No I did not forget my Apple ID

(I still can login to the Apple ID with

Both email addresses)


  • Having trouble signing in?

No I don’t have any trouble with

signing the account


about the apple article I checked it and sign out from iMessage/Facetime settings and sign in with the new email address, did same sign in/sign out with the entire Apple ID, after all of that still can’t remove the old email address.



I hope I made it clear.

Hey I’m Back with bad news,

unfortunately apple couldn’t solve it for me by chating, they come to a conclusion that they have to get contact with me by phone number and not a surprise apple doesn’t support my country (iraq), so yeah I guess my problem can’t be solved that easy. *disappointed*

:(

Hello again thank you for suggesting that but unfortunately it didn’t solve the problem.

after going settings -> Mail -> Accounts

theres no email address other than ICloud and after selecting that it leads me to my apple iD.
