If you wish to switch from an old email to a new one, first add the new email address to your Facebook account and verify it. Once verified, you can remove the old email.

Before changing your email, ensure you have access to the new address so you can receive verification codes if needed. If your old email is the only contact method linked to your account, it is best to add the new email before removing the old one.

You can also set your primary email and manage its visibility.
On Facebook, you can choose which email address serves as the primary one for your account. Additionally, you can control who sees your email address based on the available settings.

Therefore, when updating your email address, it is useful to check not only the new email address but also the settings related to the primary email and its visibility.

Why is it important to update your email address?

Having a correct and active email address linked to your Facebook account is essential. It ensures you receive important notifications and verification codes related to your account. Updating your email if you no longer use the old one helps keep your account's contact information accurate. Please note that menu names or their locations may vary slightly depending on the app and device you are using.
