As an experienced tech writer and GroupMe user, I understand the importance of keeping your contact information up-to-date across all your accounts and apps. In this article, I’ll provide a detailed, step-by-step guide on how to change the email address associated with your GroupMe account.

Why Change Your GroupMe Email?

There are several reasons why you might need to update the email address linked to your GroupMe account:

  • You got a new email address (e.g., changed jobs, schools, or service providers)
  • Your old email account was compromised or hacked
  • You want to use a more professional or personal email address

Regardless of the reason, it’s crucial to keep your GroupMe account information current to ensure you don’t miss important notifications, messages, or updates from your groups.

Changing Your Email on the GroupMe App

Updating your email address on the GroupMe mobile app is a straightforward process. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Open the GroupMe app on your iOS or Android device.
  2. Tap on your profile picture in the top-left corner of the app.
  3. Select “Profile” from the menu.
  4. Tap on the email address listed under your name.
  5. Delete your old email address and enter your new one.
  6. Tap “Done” to save the changes.

GroupMe will send a confirmation email to your new address to verify the change. Once you receive and open that email, your new email will be officially associated with your GroupMe account.[1]

Changing Your Email on the GroupMe Website

If you prefer to use the GroupMe website, you can update your email address there as well. Here are the steps:

  1. Go to groupme.com and sign in to your account.
  2. Click on your profile picture in the top-right corner.
  3. Select “Profile” from the dropdown menu.
  4. Click on the “Edit” button next to your email address.
  5. Delete your old email and enter your new one.
  6. Click the checkmark to save the changes.

Again, GroupMe will send a confirmation email to the new address to verify the change.[3]

Important Notes

  • Other members cannot see your email address. GroupMe keeps your personal information private and does not share it with other group members.[1]
  • If you don’t receive the confirmation email, repeat the steps and re-enter your new email until you do.[1]
  • Changing your email on GroupMe does not update your email across other Microsoft or third-party services. You’ll need to update those accounts separately.[2]
