Hi,

I've enabled backups in the app, and my old account which doesn't exist anymore, was selected as a recovery account for backups. How can I change it?

    1. Click the three dots in the upper-right corner.
    2. Click 「add account」
    3. Click 「personal account」
    4. Log in to the account you want to be your recovery email.
    5. Check the backup if the recovery email changed.
