Why You Might Want to Change Your TikTok Email

There are several reasons why users choose to update their TikTok email:

You no longer have access to the old email.
You want to use a more professional or updated email address.
Your account has been compromised and you need to secure it.
You’re switching to an email that’s easier to manage.

Whatever the reason, changing your email on TikTok helps keep your account secure and accessible.

Step-by-Step: How to Change Your Email on TikTok

Step 1: Open the TikTok App

Launch the TikTok app on your device.
Tap the profile icon at the bottom-right corner to go to your profile page.

Step 2: Go to Settings and Privacy

Tap the three horizontal lines (☰) or the menu icon at the top-right corner.
Select “Settings and privacy.”

Step 3: Access Your Account Settings

Tap “Account.”
Then tap on “Email” to view your current email address.

Step 4: Verify Your Identity

TikTok may ask you to verify your identity to ensure you’re the account owner. You may be asked to:

Enter a verification code sent to your old email address, or
Enter a code sent to your linked phone number, if available.

Tip: If you no longer have access to the old email, make sure your phone number is updated on your TikTok account to receive verification codes.

Step 5: Enter New Email Address

Once verified, type in your new email address.
TikTok will send a 6-digit verification code to the new email.

Step 6: Verify the New Email

Open your email inbox and find the code TikTok sent.
Enter the code in the app to confirm and finalize the change.

That’s it! Your TikTok account is now linked to your new email address.

What to Do If You Can’t Access Your Old Email

If you’ve lost access to your old email and can’t verify the change:

Make sure your phone number is linked to your TikTok account.
Use the “Forgot password?” option at login to access your account via phone.
Once logged in, go to settings and update your email as shown above.

If you’re locked out completely, you can:

Tap “Need help?” on the login screen.
Follow the prompts to contact TikTok support for identity verification.

Important Tips

Make sure your new email is valid and accessible—you’ll need it for password resets and security alerts.
Avoid using temporary or disposable emails, as they can compromise account recovery later.
Keep your TikTok account secure by also updating your password regularly.
