I can't add an email that used to be associated with an apple id. My old apple id had a certain email. Then I made a new apple id, and I deleted the old one and now it's been deleted for a while. Of course, the new apple id is made using a different email. But now I want to add the old apple id's email to the emails I can be reached at with. But apple is not allowing me to do so. What do I do?
iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15
You can’t reuse the email address from a deleted Apple ID. From the Apple Support Support article below:
Can I use the primary email address for my deleted Apple ID account to create a new Apple ID or with another existing Apple ID account?
No, once your Apple ID is deleted, you can't use the email address that you used with it to create a new Apple ID. In addition, you can't use that email address with another existing Apple ID except as a rescue email. Also, if your primary Apple ID email address is with a Custom Email Domain, it can never be reused to create an Apple ID after your Apple ID is deleted, even if the domain ownership changes.
