How to add another email address to an Apple ID

Additional email addresses

Many of us have more than one email address that friends and family use to reach us. Add an email address that you commonly use to your Apple ID account, so people can easily find and communicate with you on Apple services like FaceTime, iMessage, Shared Albums, iWork collaboration, and Find My. Instead of changing your apple ID completely, you may just wish to add your Corpus or personal email to your account.

Add an additional email address (MacOS)

Sign in to your Apple ID account page.
Click Edit in the Account section.
Under Reachable at, select Add More.
Enter your additional email address. Make sure you're not already using it as an Apple ID.
Apple will send a verification to that address. Didn't get the email?
Enter the verification code and click Verify.

Add an additional email address (iOS)

Go to Settings > Name (top left corner)
Click Name, Phone Numbers, Email in the Account section.
Under Contactable At, select Add More.
Enter your additional email address. (i.e first.last@corpus.wa.edu.au) Make sure you're not already using it as an Apple ID.
Apple will send a verification to that address. Didn't get the email?
Enter the verification code and click Verify.

Delete an additional email address

Sign in to your Apple ID account page.
Click Edit in the Account section.
To delete one of your additional email addresses, click next to the address.

Rescue email address

Having a rescue email address is optional but recommended if you do not have two-factor authentication or two-step verification. If you ever forget your security questions, you can use your rescue email address to reset them. We also send any account security-related notifications to your rescue email address. If you have two-factor authentication or two-step verification, you have a notification email address instead of a rescue email address and won't need to remember security questions.

Add or edit a rescue email address

Sign in to your Apple ID account page.
Click Edit in the Security section. You might be asked to answer one or more security questions before you continue.
To add a rescue email address:
- Under Rescue Email, click Add an Email Address, then enter your rescue email address. We send a verification to that address. Didn't get the email?
- Enter the verification code and click Verify.
To edit a rescue email address:
- Select Change Email Address under the address you want to edit, then enter the new address. We send a verification to that address. Didn't get the email?
- Enter the verification code and click Verify.

If you had a rescue email address on file when you upgraded to two-factor authentication or two-step verification, you can also use these steps to edit your notification email address. If you remove the notification email, you won't be able to add a new one.

Delete a rescue email address

Sign in to your Apple ID account page.
Click Edit in the Security section. You might be asked to answer one or more security questions before you continue.
To delete a rescue email address, click next to the address.
