I no longer have access to the email that is associated with my Apple ID. I can still use my Apple ID because facial recognition was set up before I lost access. How can I change my email associated to my Apple ID without losing everything?
iPhone XR, iOS 16
Hi Jtak,
Here's how you change the email address you use for your Apple ID:
1. Go to appleid.apple.com and sign in.
2. In the Sign-In and Security section, choose Apple ID.
3. Enter the email address that you want to use as your Apple ID.
4. Choose Change Apple ID.
5. If you changed your Apple ID to a third-party email address, check your email for a verification code, then enter the code. Learn what to do if you didn't get the email. --> If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support
6. If you use services like iCloud or Messages to share with friends and colleagues, sign in to those services with your updated Apple ID. --> What to do after you change your Apple ID or password - Apple Support
For more details and how to do this if you have a mobile number ID, see the document Change your Apple ID - Change your Apple ID - Apple Support
