To change your email address on TikTok, open **Profile > menu (three lines) > Settings and privacy > Account > Account information > Email**, enter the new address and type in the verification code TikTok sends to it. TikTok may also ask you to confirm with your current email, phone number or password first. The change takes effect as soon as the new address is verified, and you can then use it to log in and reset your password.

## How to change your email on TikTok (app)

1. Open TikTok and tap **Profile**.
2. Tap the **menu** (three lines) at the top right, then **Settings and privacy**.
3. Tap **Account**, then **Account information** (some versions say **User information**).
4. Tap **Email**, then **Change email**.
5. Confirm it's you if asked: a code to your current email or phone, or your password.
6. Enter the **new email address** and tap **Send code**.
7. Type in the code from the new inbox. Check spam if it isn't there within a few minutes.

Menu labels can differ slightly between app versions and regions.

## How to change your email on TikTok on a computer

On tiktok.com, log in, click your profile picture and choose **Settings**, then **Manage account**. If email editing isn't offered on the web for your account, make the change in the mobile app; the web settings don't always include every account option.

## If you signed up with a phone number or Google/Apple

- **Phone sign-up:** follow the same path; the Email row will say **Add email** instead of change.
- **Google or Apple sign-in:** your TikTok email is tied to that account. You can usually add a separate email under Account information, but to change the address used for Google or Apple sign-in, you'd change it with that provider.
- **"Hide my email" with Apple:** TikTok sees an Apple relay address. You can still add your real email as a login method.

## What to do if you can't get the code

| Problem | What to try |
| --- | --- |
| Code never arrives | Check spam and promotions folders, wait a few minutes, then tap resend |
| "Too many attempts" | Wait an hour or so before trying again |
| You lost access to the old email | Verify with your phone number or password instead, if offered |
| You can't verify any way | Use **Settings and privacy > Report a problem > Account and profile** to contact support |
| Email "already in use" | That address is linked to another TikTok account; change or remove it there first |

Support may ask for details only the owner would know, like when the account was created or the device you use. Expect replies to take a few days.

## Keep your account secure after the change

- Turn on **2-step verification** under Settings and privacy > Security.
- Check **Manage devices** and log out any you don't recognize.
- If you changed email because of a hack, also change your password and review linked apps.

If you manage TikTok for a business, keep the login email on a shared address the team controls (like social@yourcompany.com), not a person's inbox. That way, access doesn't leave with an employee. Tools like Schedule For You connect to TikTok through TikTok's own sign-in, so changing your email doesn't disconnect scheduled posts. [See TikTok scheduling](https://scheduleforyou.com/tiktok).

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I change my TikTok email without the old email?
Often, yes. TikTok can verify you by phone number or password instead. If none of those work, contact support through Report a problem.

### How many times can you change your email on TikTok?
TikTok doesn't publish a limit, but repeated changes in a short time can trigger a temporary block. Wait a day if you're blocked.

### Does changing your email on TikTok log you out?
No. You stay logged in on your devices. Use the new email the next time you log in.

### Will my followers see that I changed my email?
No. Your email address isn't shown on your profile.
