When you sign up for a Snapchat account, you always provide an email address which you’ll then use to verify your account. It can also be used to help friends find you on Snapchat later.

However, there may come a time when you no longer have access to the email address that you signed up with, or you simply wish to use a different address. In this case, you’ll need to change your email address via Snapchat’s account settings menu.

Here’s how to change the email that’s linked to your Snapchat account, using the official app for both iPhone and Android devices.
