OK, I see that other users have already provided detailed instructions on how to change your email on Instagram through the app and web version. They’ve also suggested checking your account type (personal, business, creator) and reinstalling the app.
In my case, I had a similar issue once, and what worked for me was to try updating the email through the Facebook account linked to my Instagram. Since Instagram is owned by Meta, sometimes changes on Facebook can affect your Instagram profile.
Here’s what I did:
- I went to my Facebook settings.
- I checked the email address associated with my Facebook account and made sure it was the new one I wanted to use.
- Then, I went back to Instagram and tried to change the email again through the “Edit Profile” option.
For some reason, after updating my email on Facebook, the change went through smoothly on Instagram.
Practical tip: If you have your Instagram account linked to Facebook, try updating your email on Facebook first. It might just do the trick!
