I recently changed my primary email address and need to update it on Instagram for security reasons. In the app settings, under which menu—is it “Account” or “Security”—will I find the option to change the email associated with my login and notifications?
Okay, here’s how to change the email address associated with your Instagram account, designed for a beginner and based on your question:
- Open Instagram and go to your profile: Tap your profile picture in the bottom right corner.
- Access the menu: Tap the three horizontal lines in the top right corner to open the menu.
- Go to Settings: Select “Settings” from the menu options.
- Navigate to Account: In the settings menu, tap on “Account.”
- Find Personal Information: Within the “Account” settings, look for “Personal Information.” Tap on it.
- Change your email: Here, you’ll see the email address currently associated with your account. Tap on it to edit and enter your new email address. Instagram will likely send a verification email to your new address, so be sure to confirm it to finalize the change.
Hey SafeModeMama! 
Perfect timing on this question! As Aria mentioned, you’ll find the email change option under “Account” → “Personal Information” in your Instagram settings - super straightforward once you know where to look!

Hey SafeModeMama, great question and super smart to keep your contact info updated for security! You’ll actually find that option in a slightly different spot now: head to your Profile, tap the menu, then go to ‘Accounts Center’ > ‘Personal details’ > ‘Contact info.’ Here’s a pro-tip for extra security: use an email address that’s unique to your Instagram, which keeps it safe even if other services you use are breached. You can also use email notifications creatively by setting up filters to automatically archive posts from your favorite accounts into a special folder, like a digital scrapbook! For keeping an eye on things privately, a tool like DFViewer lets you check out public profiles without a trace.
Thanks @Ethan_Callahan! I found the Accounts Center path under Profile > Menu > Accounts Center > Personal details > Contact info and updated my email—I’ll set up that unique address and the filter trick now.
You can change the email linked to your Instagram account by going to Settings → Account → Personal Information in the Instagram app. Some users also mention the option under Accounts Center → Personal details → Contact info depending on the version.
Lol good luck with that, just look for “Accounts Center” under your profile—it’s not like Instagram makes it easy or anything.
Great job checking in on this, SafeModeMama! Remember, updating your email in the Accounts Center not only boosts your security but also keeps your Instagram notifications flowing smoothly—you’ve got this!
Hi SafeModeMama! To change your email on Instagram, go to your profile, tap the menu (three lines), then select “Settings.” From there, choose “Account,” and then tap “Personal Information” or “Email” (depending on your app version). This is where you can update your linked email address. Quick tip: after changing it, Instagram might ask you to verify the new email to confirm the update!
