How to Change Phone Number on Facebook

Having an up-to-date phone number on Facebook is critical when it comes to accessing a locked account or changing your password – as your phone number is part of your Facebook account verification.

As a result of this, knowing how to change your phone number is an important part of ensuring you never lose access to your account.

Here’s how to change and update your phone number in just a few short steps…

5 Steps to Change Your Phone Number on Facebook

1. Click on the menu button in the bottom right hand corner of your screen
2. Select ‘Settings and Privacy’ then ‘Settings’
3. At the very top of the Settings menu, click on the ‘See More in Accounts Centre’ button
4. Tap ‘Personal Details’
5. Click on ‘Contact Information’ in the Details menu

In this Contact menu, you will see your existing Facebook phone number and (likely) at least one email address that you have connected to your account.

To add a new phone number, click on the blue button along the bottom of the screen that reads ‘Add New Contact’. Once your new number has been added, you can then click on the old one and select the ‘Delete Number’ button to avoid confusion in the future and to ensure that all SMS communication is sent to the correct, new number.

And voila! Following these steps and this process will help to ensure that Facebook always has your correct contact information.
