Learn how to change your email address associated with your Apple ID

Today, applications allow you to customize the vast majority of the functions they contain, to such an extent that the updates are more focused on improving their operation, than on providing new features. It seems to be more difficult to change the input data, which recognize us we access an account.

Logically we can change our password, and we must do it frequently. But the email that we use to identify ourselves seems a priori more complicated to modify. Let's see if it is possible to make this change.

In practice, it is not so difficult to change the email address assigned to our Apple ID account. Remember, this change will affect our Mac, but also the rest of Apple devices: iPad, iPhone, iPod and Apple TV. This email address allows us to access the App Store, iCloud and iTunesTherefore, please pay sufficient attention when making the change, since we handle our most sensitive information.

The first, we will access the initial Apple ID management page. Next we must access with our current credentials. If you have activated the two step verification, have the other device nearby to be able to enter the key provided.

Once you log in, you can see all the options that you can consult and modify if necessary: ​​account, security, devices, payment and shipping and newsletters. In the first, you will see a button in the upper right part in blue, with the name «edit»

Clicking on it activates, also in blue, the option "Edit email ..." just below our ID. Now we only have to click on it and modify the email address.

We then receive an email at the new email address. Therefore, if we make the error in the email account, this change will not take effect. We must enter the six-digit code received and press continue. Then click on "done" to save changes.

In principle, it will not be necessary to make the change on all devices, as Apple will do it for you. The only thing, keep in mind that this will be your new Apple identifier in the future. I recommend that you change it to your most recurring email.
