Q: Apple ID email

You may need to temporarily change your Apple ID back, sign out of iCloud, then change your Apple ID once more before signing back in, as detailed below.
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
- Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
- Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
- Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
- Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
- Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
- Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
- Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
