I already changed my apple ID, but I can't change it in "icloud settings " on my iphone.

when I go to:


settings>icloud - I see at the top my old apple ID in account.


why can't I change to my current apple ID?


best regards.

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.4

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID. This will delete the account and your iCloud data from your phone but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your phone when you sign back in.


To avoid losing photo stream photos save them to your camera roll before deleting the account (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Sare, tap Save to Camera Roll).
