I use my past email address as my Apple ID and now I changed my email address to new email address, and I also entered the new email address in the setting , but apple staff advise me to change the Apple ID to be the same as my new email address, why?
iPhone XR
You can't change the address to be the same as your new ID. You can keep the old ID, but use the new ID.
You can't transfer all your data and purchases to a new ID.
There may be some data loss, but you can minimize it. If syncing photos with iCloud, ensure Optimization is turned off in Settings/Your Name/iCloud/Photos and/or in Photos/Preferences/iCloud. Then make sure full resolution photos are on the device/computer. When signing out of iCloud, if asked whether you want to retain data, choose yes. Messages conversations will be lost if they are addressed to the ID. See the article below for other places that the old ID should be removed. See Winston Churchill's response in the below discussion. Also set up Family Sharing to keep access to your apps/purchases.

You changed the email address where exactly ? The primary email address on an Apple ID should be an email account that you have access to e.g. for emailed receipts for purchases, password reset emails etc.

Tks reply, but I do not want or need two Apple ID, I just want to transfer all the photos, app that are on my iPhone with old Apple ID to a new Apple ID (with new email address ) platform, that's all, but I just want to know if I can keep my old Apple ID but simply change the setting to a new email address or do I really need to change the Apple ID to be same as my new email address?
That is my question and many thanks
If you created a new Apple ID when you created the one with the new email address, you can keep both Apple IDs.
