How to set primary email account on iPhone

I have an iPhone 11, running iOS 26.2. Today I added a second email account. When I click on that account a blue icon comes up with a person outline and the word “Primary”. I would actually want the original email account to be the primary. Didn’t just want to click on the icon, hoping that it would dim and that the original email account would then become the primary. At times, these iPhones can be very temperamental and I didn’t want to create any other issues to have to deal with, so I thought I’d ask the question here.

iPhone 11, iOS 26
