Changing Apple ID: Email not vetted

I can’t change my Apple ID as it says the new email is not ‘vetted’. I have it as my primary email address already so it has been verified. I don’t understand why I can’t change it. Any ideas?

iPhone X, iOS 14

Hi Singers,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. We want to make sure we're on the same page, is the email address you are attempting to change your Apple ID to already used as alias or rescue email? If so, this would be expected behavior, you wouldn't be able to use that email address since it is already associated with your account. Check out: Change your Apple ID.
