Learn how to change the email address associated with your Apple ID.
If you no longer use the email address that's associated with your Apple ID, or you no longer have access to it, you can change it. You won’t lose access to your contacts, purchases, or other account information.
The easiest way to change the email address associated with your Apple ID is with your iPhone or other trusted device. A trusted device is a device that you're already signed in to with your Apple ID.
Keep in mind that you can't use an email address that's already in use by another Apple ID. If you use services like iCloud or Messages, make sure to sign in to those services with your new Apple ID.

If you see a message that the email address you want to use isn't available or is already in use, check that you or a family member aren't already using that email address with a different Apple ID. If a family member is using that email address, remove it from their account, then try to use it.
If your Apple ID is a phone number
