How to update your phone number on your Google account

To update your phone number on your Google account, follow these steps:

1.Open Google Account Settings:

Go to the Google Account page by visiting myaccount.google.com or clicking on your profile picture in a Google service (like Gmail) and selecting "Manage your Google Account."

2.Sign In:

If you're not already signed in, you'll need to sign in with the Google account for which you want to update the phone number.

3.Access the Security Section:

In the left sidebar, click on "Security."

4.Phone Number Section:

Under the "Ways we can verify it's you" section, you should see your current phone number. To update it, click on "Phone."

5.Add a Phone Number:

   • Click on "Add a phone number."

6.Verify Your Identity:

   • Google may ask you to re-enter your password to verify your identity.

7.Enter New Phone Number:

You will now be prompted to enter your new phone number. Make sure it's a valid and working number because Google may use it for account recovery and verification purposes.

8.Verification Code:

Google will send a verification code to the new phone number you provided. Enter the code when you receive it to confirm the change.

9.Confirmation:

After successfully entering the verification code, your new phone number will be added to your Google account, and you will receive a confirmation.

Remember to keep your phone number up to date on your Google account to ensure you can recover your account if you ever lose access. This phone number can also be used for two-factor authentication, an added layer of security for your Google account.
