  • Upload image: Choose an image and wait for uploading to finish and the success message to appear.
  • Change image: Select Change image and choose a new file to replace the current picture.

Before changing contact details

Changing your email or phone number requires you to verify an existing contact method and then your new contact details:

ChangeWhat you need

Change phone numberAccess to your current verified email address and new phone number

If your current email is unverified, select Verify email in the Account Email card and enter the code sent to it. Once it shows as verified, you can start changing your phone number.

Complete one change before starting the next. Starting a new email or phone change request replaces your previous contact change request.

Resending codes and expired requests

Follow the verification page for the code length and when you can try again. Wait for any countdown to finish and enter the code for the destination and step currently shown.

  • Verifying your existing contact method: Once the wait ends, select Resend to send a new code to your current phone number or email address.
  • A later step expires or requires a restart: For an email change, select Start again with SMS. For a phone change, select Start again with email. Verify your current contact method again, enter your new details, and request the code for the new destination.

If the request information is unavailable, start again from account settings. Continue in the same browser where you started the request.
