Changing address on citizenship application

I applied for UK Citizenship in November 2021 (ILR + 12 months in the UK). So it has now been 4 months with no updates on the case whatsoever. I know the expected time is up to 6 months, and then even longer.
But my concern is that I changed my home address in December 2021. So
1. Is it possible that some communication was mailed to me (and not duplicated over email) - request for some documents, etc. - something that would technically put the case on hold pending my response?
2. How can I update my mailing address on the application?
Thanks!

Sooo... Nobody knows how to update mailing address after citizenship application has been submitted?... Surely I am not the only one in such situation?..

Hey, did you manage to find an answer for that? I may need it for myself as well.

Not sure this helps - someone else may have a different opinion:

Nope, still have not figured out...
I've tried
https://www.gov.uk/update-uk-visas-immi ... vi-account
but cannot access the account for some reason.. I enter my BRP or passport and date of birth, but I am getting a message they don't match.. Not even sure what 'UKVI account' means.. Is it my application? I tried to login to my application, and it says there are 'mandatory actions', which include attending biometrics appointment - which I did back in November... Does everyone's application account (used to submit the application) stay this way, basically frozen after the application fees are paid? Or should I get worried that UKVI did not receive the documents that UKVCAS should have submitted after the biometrics appointment?
I've also tried calling the number (03007906268) listed here:
https://www.gov.uk/contact-ukvi-inside- ... nt-details
But the option to discuss inflight application does not lead me to an operator, basically saying that no communication on inflight application is possible...
Very frustrating...
This got to be a common situation - a person changing address during application processing, given how long it takes, right?.. So must be some standard way to update it?...
