I was having trouble creating my Apple ID using my primary email, so I made one from my phone number because I needed to setup my new phone. But now I want to use my secondary email for my Apple id.
How can I remove my phone number from my Apple id and use an actual email?

You can use the following steps to change your Apple ID.
“How to change your Apple ID to a different email address
If you can't change your Apple ID
If you try to change your Apple ID to an @icloud.com email address that was created within the last 30 days, you will be asked to try again later.
If you see a message that the email address you want to use isn't available or is already in use, check that you or a family member aren't already using that email address with a different Apple ID. If a family member is using that email address, remove it from their account then try to use it.
In some countries or regions, you can use your phone number as your Apple ID. But if your Apple ID is an email address, you can't change it to a phone number.
If your Apple ID is a phone number
You can change your Apple ID to a different mobile phone number.” Change your Apple ID
We hope this helps!

Hey Jess19,
As you said, I cannot change my Apple ID from an email to phone number… Does that mean I also cannot change my apple id from a phone number to email?? Because I want to do that only, that is, to change the apple id from a “Phone Number” to an “Email”?
You can only change it to another phone number.
I thought the same. Thanks for taking out time to reply :)
Alright!! I’ll take another look at them! Thanks
You are welcome.
