TL;DR

Click your profile picture → "Settings & Privacy" → "Change" next to your current email. Verify with a code sent to your current email, enter the new email, then verify with a second code sent to the new address and click "Continue" to finish.

Answer

You can change the email address associated with your account from Settings & Privacy. The process verifies both addresses: a first verification code is sent to your current email, and after you enter your new email, a second code is sent to the new address to confirm it's really you. Note that if you can no longer access your current email address, you will not be able to receive the first code — in that case you would need to create a new account with a different email address or phone number.

  1. 1

    Open Settings & Privacy

    Click your profile picture in the upper-right corner of the homepage, then select "Settings & Privacy".

  2. 2

    Start the email change

    Click "Change" next to your current email address. A verification code will be sent to your current email address.

  3. 3

    Verify your current email and enter the new one

    Enter the verification code, then enter your new email address and click "Continue".

  4. 4

    Verify the new email address

    A second verification code will be sent to your new email address. Enter this code to confirm that it's really you.

  5. 5

    Finish

    Click "Continue" to complete the email address update.

If you can't access your current email#

Warning

If your current email address is no longer accessible, you won't be able to receive the first verification code, and the email cannot be changed. In that case, you can create a new account using a different email address or phone number — but content from your previous channel cannot be transferred to the new account.
