Wrong email on app store screen when trying to update Whatsapp

So the other day i was trying to update my whatsapp and i forgot my apple password.

Then the iphone asked me to put my email to change the password, the thing is, i put the wrong email in it and now the iphone doesn't let me change the email adress, i cant change it back, because i used the change password feature too many times (i didnt noticed that i had put a wrong letter on the email). Now apple is asking me to wait a couple of days to reset my password. Isn't there anyway that i can change the wrong email on the your apple account or password is incorrect? Sorry if the text is a bit confusing, english is not my main language!?


iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 18

If your access to a feature is blocked for several days then there is probably nothing you can do other than wait it out. Apple has no way of telling you aren't somebody trying to attack their servers. You are welcome to contact Apple and ask them if there is a way for them to let you have access.

Select from the presented options until you find a solution for your issue, or see if there is a chat or phone call contact method offered lower on the page under “Get more help” (you sometimes have to narrow down the options multiple times before this is shown). If you do not see your issue, keep experimenting with any series of selections until you reach one that offers a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.
