Hey I want to use my apple ID in different account

When I bought my first iphone I used my old email to create an apple ID. Now I want to change the email thats used in my apple ID without changing my whole account. But I created new icloud account with the new email adress I wanna use now. And the old account now wont let me use the new email because its used in another apple ID. So the question is: Will the apple allow me to use the new email if I delete my second apple account? Sorry for my english <3

You cannot change to an account that is already in use; even if by you.

Get a new email address for the new iCloud account and use the link posted above to change the new iCloud account to the new email address. That will free up the email address for use with the old ID.


Apple hasn’t published any guidance for using an address again. Normally, if your e-mail address was associated with an ID in any way, then it can't be reused as an  Apple ID email address for approximately one year. I have also seen posts that stated Apple told them there was a 30 day waiting period before the address could be used again. You can try waiting 30 days to see if that works.
