Starting with iOS 18.1, Apple is now allowing users to change their iCloud email address.
In iOS 18.1, Apple will allow users to completely change their iCloud email address for the first time. Previously, you could only create an alias, but you couldn’t change or remove your original iCloud email. Now, users can easily update their primary Apple Account email from the Settings app. Although it was possible to change your primary email before, it required removing other addresses first. With iOS 18.1, you can now update both your Apple Account and iCloud email more easily. Just go to Settings, tap your name, select Sign In & Security, and choose your email address. From there, you'll find a "Change Email Address" button.
Once you update your iCloud email, you will no longer receive emails from your old @iCloud.com or @me.com address, and it won’t work for FaceTime or iMessage. You can still use an alias to get emails if needed. This change is especially useful for anyone who wants to update an old email they no longer like.
