You probably have several email addresses that you use for
various purposes if you're like most people. There could be three different
email accounts you use: one for work, one for personal emails, and one for
online shopping. If you've been using Facebook for a time, you might have
created your account using one of these email addresses. But, you can change
your primary email on Facebook if you've stopped using that email address or if
you simply want to use a new email address for Facebook. This is the procedure.
First, access Facebook.
Logging into your account is the first step towards changing
your primary email on Facebook. Visit Facebook's home page (facebook.com) and
log in using your email address and password if you haven't already.
Navigate to Your Account Settings
To access the account menu after logging in to Facebook,
click the down arrow in the top right corner of the screen. Go to the menu and
select "Settings."
Under the left menu, select "Contact."
Click "Contact" in the left menu of your Facebook
account settings.
Click "Add Another Email or Cell Phone"
You'll find a listing of your current primary email address
under the "Contact Details" section. Click the "Add another
email or mobile number" link to add a new email address.
Insert your new email address
Fill out the field for your new email address in the
"Add Contact Data" pop-up window. You'll need to authenticate the
email address you enter later, so double check it.
Check Your New Email Address
Facebook will email that address a verification request once
you've entered your new email address. Find the email from Facebook in your
inbox, click the link to validate your email address, and then open your email.
Check your spam or junk mail folder if the email isn't in your inbox.
Designate your new email as your primary email address.
Return to your Facebook account settings and click
"Contact" once more after validating your new email address. Your
updated email address ought to now appear under "Contact Details."
Click the "Edit" button next to your new email address, then choose
the "Use this email for Facebook login" checkbox to make it your
primary email address. To make your new email address your primary email on
Facebook, click "Save Changes."
Delete your old email address (Optional)
You can delete your old email address from your account
settings if you no longer want to use it for Facebook. To accomplish this,
click "Edit" next to your old email address, then "Remove."
To confirm the removal, you must enter your Facebook password.
I'm done now! Your Facebook main email has been updated.
From this point forward, notifications and messages will be sent to your new
email address. Simply repeat these steps if you ever wish to change your primary
email address again in the future.
In conclusion, changing your Facebook primary email is a
simple process that can be finished in a few simple steps. You may make sure
that your Facebook account is linked to the email address you choose to use by
following the instructions given above.
