Changing Apple ID Notification Email address

I'm at https://appleid.apple.com/account/manage/section/security and when I click on Notification Email to change it, it asks me for the new email, which is different from my Apple ID email, but once I do, it then states I must go to another device, navigate to Settings > Apple ID and continue. Continue what? I've tried this on my Mac and my iPhone, and nothing allows me to actually do anything to change the ID. I get no email saying it's been done...I just keep trying and keep getting the same message, but with no instructions.


The notification email listed is an old employer, and I DO NOT want them to get my notifications!! Please help get me through the WHOLE process. I'm stuck in an endless loop. Thanks.

Hello likethewhiskey,


We see you need help changing your Notification Email address for your Apple ID. It appears you are directed to continue on another device, but don't see where to change it there.


One thing to try first, can you remove your Notification Email address altogether?


If so, try that, then try adding the one you want to have in place. If not, reply back here to let us know.


Best regards.
