Change Email Soundcloud: Full Guide

Updated 6 November 2026 · Standard formula, shown below

To change the email address on your SoundCloud account, you must do it through the account settings page on the website or mobile app. There is no separate email-change link; you update it directly in your profile settings, and SoundCloud will send a confirmation to the new address before the change takes effect.

Why You Might Need to Change It

People change the email on their SoundCloud account for several common reasons. You may have lost access to the old mailbox, switched to a new primary email provider, or want to separate your music account from a shared or work address. SoundCloud uses your email for login, password resets, and notifications about your uploads, comments, and messages. Keeping it current ensures you receive important account alerts and can recover your password if you ever get locked out.

Another less obvious reason: if you signed up with a temporary email or a typo, you’ll want to fix it before it causes login problems. SoundCloud does not allow you to merge accounts, so changing the email on your existing account is the only way to keep your uploads, followers, and playlists while moving to a new address.

What You Need Before You Start

Before you change your email, make sure you have access to both the current email (to confirm the change) and the new email (to receive the verification link). You’ll also need your SoundCloud password. If you don’t remember your password, reset it first via the “Forgot password� link on the login screen.

Access to the current email inbox (for the confirmation prompt).
Access to the new email inbox (to click the verification link).
Your SoundCloud password (to confirm the change).
A stable internet connection and a supported browser or app.

Step-by-Step: Change Email on the Website

Log in to SoundCloud.com with your current credentials.
Click your profile picture in the top-right corner to open the menu.
Select Settings from the dropdown.
Go to the Account tab (the first tab on the left).
Under the “Email� field, click the Change link (or the pencil icon).
Enter your new email address and your current password when prompted.
Click Save or Update.
Check your new email inbox for a verification message from SoundCloud.
Click the link in that email to confirm the change.

After you click the link, your email is updated. The old email will no longer work for login, and all future notifications go to the new address.

Step-by-Step: Change Email on the Mobile App

The SoundCloud mobile app (iOS and Android) has the same settings, but the menu layout is slightly different. Here’s how to do it on the app:

Open the SoundCloud app and log in.
Tap your profile icon in the top-left corner (or the “More� tab).
Tap the gear icon (Settings) in the top-right.
Tap Account (or “Profile� depending on the version).
Tap the Email field.
Enter your new email and your password, then tap Save.
Check your new email for a confirmation link and tap it.

If you don’t see the email field in the app, try the website—it’s always available there.

Common Problems and Fixes

Sometimes the change doesn’t go through smoothly. Here are the most frequent issues and how to resolve them:

No confirmation email arrives: Check your spam/junk folder. Also make sure you typed the new address correctly. If it still doesn’t arrive, wait 10 minutes and try again. Sometimes the email is delayed by a few minutes.
“Email already in use� error: SoundCloud only allows one account per email. If you have another account with that address, you’ll need to log into that account and change its email first, or use a different address.
You forgot your password: Use the “Forgot password� link on the login page. You’ll get a reset link to your current email. If you also lost access to that email, contact SoundCloud support with proof of account ownership (like your username, uploads, or payment history).
The change saved but login still fails: Make sure you’re using the new email. If you’re still logged in on another device, log out and log back in with the new address.
You’re locked out of the old email: If you can’t access the old email to confirm the change, you can’t complete the process. You’ll need to recover the old email first or contact SoundCloud support.

What Happens After You Change It?

Once you confirm the new email, your account is immediately tied to that address. Your username, profile URL, uploads, followers, and playlists remain unchanged. SoundCloud does not notify your followers about the email change—it’s a private account detail.

One thing to note: if you use “Sign in with Google� or “Sign in with Apple,� your email change may not affect that login method. Those third-party logins still work as long as the social account is linked. However, if you normally log in with email and password, you must use the new email from now on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my SoundCloud email without the old password?
No. SoundCloud requires your current password to change the email. If you don’t know it, use the “Forgot password� feature to reset it first. You’ll need access to the current email to receive the reset link.

Will my followers see my new email?
No. Your email address is private and never displayed on your profile. Followers only see your username and profile details.

Does changing my email affect my SoundCloud Go+ subscription?
No. Your subscription is tied to your account, not your email. The change won’t cancel or interrupt your Go+ benefits. If you pay through the App Store or Google Play, the billing email is managed by that store, not SoundCloud.

Can I use the same email for two SoundCloud accounts?
No. Each email can only be associated with one SoundCloud account. If you try, you’ll get an error. You’ll need to use a different email for the second account.

What if I don’t click the confirmation link?
If you don’t click the link in the confirmation email, the change will not be applied. Your account stays on the old email. You can re-enter the new email and try again.

How long does the confirmation email take?
It usually arrives within a few minutes. If it’s not in your inbox after 10–15 minutes, check spam, and then try the process again. If it still doesn’t arrive, contact SoundCloud support.
