If you'd like to switch the Apple ID on your iPhone or iPad, read on!

Switch Apple ID on iPhone or iPad:

• What happens to the content when you switch Apple IDs
• Step 1: Sign out of your current Apple ID
• Step 2: Sign in with a different Apple ID
• Step 3: Add a second Apple ID

What happens to the content when you switch Apple IDs

Depending on whether you keep content on your iPhone or iPad or erase it, some of your data will stay on your iPhone, even after you switch. For example, contacts, photos, and calendar events on your iPhone (and not only in iCloud) will remain. Apps, music, books, and podcast subscriptions will also stay on your iPhone, but updating them will be a problem if you're signed in to a different iTunes or App Store account than the one you purchased them on.

When signing in to a different Apple ID, you'll be able to merge the content on your iPhone with the iCloud data associated with the other Apple ID. So, if you signed out of a work Apple ID and want to keep your work contacts on the iPhone, save them to your iPhone and then merge them when you sign in to your personal Apple ID.

Step 1: Sign out of your current Apple ID

1. Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Tap your Apple ID banner at the top of the screen.

3. Scroll to the bottom and tap Sign Out.

8. Tap Sign Out.

1. Launch Settings.
2. Scroll down and select one of the following: Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Notes, or Reminders.
